Appreciate that but I was in off road mode with the boot open but the car still did it's own thing. Maybe I've got a fault? |

^^ That does seem odd (the bit about the car 'sucking the wheel up'). I've jacked up the RRS numerous times for servicing and never seen that happen. As far as I know the suspension extends by gravity and/or air pressure but can't generate negative air pressure in the bag to 'suck' wheels up.

It looks more like its releveling which gives the impression its sucking up, but I don't think it is (I know the wheel goes up but that doesn't mean its sucking up Mike

Just watched it again, the other side is moving so its self levelling im sure. Mike

Well, before it touches the ground, after it does not, that's lifting enough for me.

You engine isn't supposed to be running while jacking your car up though. Its going to try and self level isn't it |

Correct, if you lift the car the conventional way.

Its not lifting the wheel though its moving the whole car while leaving the wheel in the same relative position, so the wheel lifts off the ground...but that's nothing to do with that corner of the car, its the other three corners.

No, I never wrote anything about sucking the wheel up.
