Leave it as it was designed or expect issues in the future

Ok firstly when I mentioned lowering , at normal driving height I think it is very high when running 22" alloys, I have heard about these links but also heard you loose access mode, I just want to lower the driving height slightly and still be able to use the access mode. By doing this I know all about how the suspension wil feel spongy etc but I wouldn't be going terribly low |

I would recommend iid to alter just the standard height.

you usually use a smart phone to connect to the IID BT (£400) via bluetooth.

I doubt being on 22 inch rims makes a huge difference to the height. I run 255/55/19 which is overall taller than the 285/35/22 would be and mine isn't "in the air". The arches are filled much more effectively than the rubber band rubber manages and it can go near kerbs without fear of scuffs to the wheels. Not that I worry about scuffs to the wheels, however, but you know what I mean. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

No I know the size wouldn't matter but my point is I think it is very high at driving height compared to other 4x4s and I'm just wondering what is the best way about lowering the driving height slightly |

You plug it in to the OBD port. You need to do an initial set up / registration but the instructions are easy to follow. IID not only allows you to play with heights, it allows you to look at (and clear) fault codes, check live values of lots of parameters (useful for diagnosing issues). Several online suppliers. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

My comment was a reply to Andy K... The reason it has a highish ride height is because, unlike every other maker's 4x4, this one can actually go off road. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

What sort of bastard does that to a FullFat? They should be shot and then incinerated. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |
