i didnt think d3 were that high even in off road mode, or is it possible to remap the ecu to get extra lift?


super extended mode, if the car thinks its going to ground out it puts it into extended mode and then you can manually put it into super extended mode.

Jack


What happens is.... the car detects that the weight on all four wheels is not the weight of the car, so when you go to drive the combination of the lack of weight and the TC kicking in induces the suspension to lift. Whilst this 'extended' mode is engaging or lifting you place your foot on the brake and hold the 'suspension up' button it will go into 'super extended' as you will see in the pic.

The art is inducing the extended mode by spinning the wheels to engage TC to get the suspension to lift but not to dig further into what you are stuck in. So as soon as the 'going up' message appears on the dash stop driving, let the car lift its self out of whatever you are grounded in and then drive of. 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

you can fool the eas ecu on a P38 with a switch and then manualy put it into extended ride height If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

Some seem to have forgotten - a Disco weighs nearly THREE TONNES. As does an LC.

A Defender is lardly but 30% less that a Disco or LC.

And where's the loyalty?

I've green laned in a brand new LC Amazon VX - it coped very well but it also felt very wrong! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.
