They can be driven in access mode and off road mode below 19mph, anything above that then it goes into standard drive height mode 👍 |

They can be driven "low", if the suspension heights have been altered, using the correct diagnostic kit

No, in that picture it is in off road mode. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders 2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed |

You can do it cheaply by buying lowering links. These replace the standard links between the height sensors and the suspension arms. Look on ebay etc. Simple DIY job - the longest part of the job is removing the wheels. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Thanks RRSTDV8, that's really interesting reading about these - such an easy mod by the looks of it |

If you do decide to run at a non-standard ride height then you should get a 4 wheel alignment done at the new ride height. Changing the ride height changes the suspension geometry and you risk ruining a set of tyres by having incorrect toe settings etc. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
