Is there a 'How To' anywhere on the forum or does anyone have a guide? I want to make the car lower when in access height. 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded

Hi Noddy,
The best info on how to change the height of the suspension with the RAC is Storey's video on suspension calibration. Towards the end he describes what you need to do: basically when you enter the measured heights into the program you fudge the values to fool the program. If you want the vehicle higher, you tell the program that it is lower than it actually is so that when the program does the calibration, it compensates for the lowered value and raises the vehicle. Lowering the vehicle is the opposite.

There is no system aside from our products that will allow a separate height adjustment to one of the height settings while leaving the others unchanged (such as lowering only the access height). And even our products will only do this for the 02-05 L322 at present. All other systems and methods (including the main dealer's T4/IDS, Autologic, BBS, lowering links, etc) raise or lower all heights by the same amount.

Here is a direct link to that video.

I am not sure if the All Comms can specifically adjust the access height, just the normal ride height. I believe the motorway and access heights are fixed in the system?

Worth checking with Storey, or perhaps SteveMfr can confirm or otherwise? .

So in theory then, lowering the car by 10mm will allow the car to drop a further 10mm when in access mode? That means in full height, it won't lift as high.

Not a helpful response SteveMfr

Please advise:

If normal ride height settings are changed (raised / lowered) using a "diagnostic tool" the other "fixed" height settings (motorway/off road/access) are affected or not? .

Dear Drivers...., have changed with the RSW ALL COMMS my highs only at the front axle, 15mm deeper, so it looks not like hanging old car, all other positions are of course also deeper, the highway also 15mm deeper, tested it with staying in the highway modus by droping the switch. I adjusted also the frontlights....

Guess I did not express myself clearly - sorry.

All diagnostic tools, etc change the heights 'en bloc', that is, raise the suspension by 10mm, access, motorway, standard, and off-road are all 10mm higher (as Noddy stated).

Only the IIDTool and EASControl allow separate height changes and only on the early L322 at the moment: e.g. access -10mm, motorway -20mm, standard +5mm, off-road +20mm.
