How do I blow up suspention without starting the engine?

As it says, I need to raise the car to get it in to the workshop but half the engine parts are stripped off so cant start it, I can take the cover off and put power in to the compressor but cant operate the valves to let the air in to the struts
any ideas? spiteful Range Rover Sport tdv8

I'm not sure, but believe the IID BT tool can do that. John

I did it but was a bit of an arse to do, the snap on one asked me to start the engine.
So I hard wired the compressor to a battery, but could only operate one valve at a time, so I had to open the tank valve, fill the tank, then operate each corner valve while stopping all the time to fill the tank.
Who in their right mind would buy one of these cars! we should warn people! spiteful Range Rover Sport tdv8

This should be the slogan of the forum, right by the orange RRS on top of the page. (some Sniffpetrol bitterness here). Regards etc.,
