There isn't a more firm setting. Some earlier cars didn't have active ride but all only have three suspension ride height adjustments. The latest cars have a dynamic suspension setting but not on yours I'm afraid 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!

I have a question, regarding the suspension settings, there is 3 different one, can we use the lowest one for driving?

and i could not see if i was in the middle position or high?

I totally lost with the suspension settings. tdv6s 2.7 2007

You can not drive in Access Mode (the lowest ride height). Above a certain speed the vehicle will automatically raise itself to Normal Mode (the middle ride height). The last setting, Off Road Mode, is also speed limited and the vehicle will lower itself back to Normal Mode at a set speed.

You can adapt the suspension to run at a lower or higher ride height by fitting aftermarket suspension height sensor connecting rods (or by using an electronic system such as the IIDTool to re-calibrate the suspension heights.

Running at lower ride heights obviously gives you restricted bump travel. This means a harder ride and more chance of suspension damage. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

RRSTDV8 , yes I know what you meant I set up a lowering module on a xj already, maybe i will not do anything then, even unsure to remaps it,

What is your thought about remaps, it can damaged the turbo faster or nay expensive part?

Thanks! tdv6s 2.7 2007

One more question,

I have the lights on, I turn off the car there is a ring, (cause i forgot to turn off the light switch) the light is off, I turn off the light switch to 0, the lights went on. so indeed to turn off the light i need to play with the switch from on to off and then a second time on and off again and then it 's off correctly. I may have a bug there.... tdv6s 2.7 2007

You can set a delay on the dash for "coming home lights". So if set for 30 secs, when you turn car off, the. Lights stay on for set period. Turning light switch from auto or headlights to sidelights over rides this. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

The ride will be cr Censored p if you lower the ride height. I think you may find that the car drops when nipping along a decent pace.

I am not going to do anything, no wheel change, no module to lower it, and no remap finally, or later. Do you think a remap could break the turbo prematurely.

one liter of coolant was missing and the battery need 1.5 liter of distilled water...i am this afternoon at land rover as he is a friend of mine. tdv6s 2.7 2007

Been there said the same, so clear or better still smoked side repeaters, colour code the outer edge of the grill, plus the door bottoms, side vent outers, front and rear lower bumpers then finally the lower tailgate bit.

Peter Bell remap, this changes the car, makes it like it should be, drives more like the 3litre sport.

Your could be lucky, an 07 maybe a euro 3, so you can blank the EGR valves.

Nearly forgot, new colour coded door handles. Thumbs Up
