Every few days when i try to select access height the car goes to extended height mode.
This usually clears after 3-4 attempts
It's a 1st world problem but is there an easy fix?
My car doesnt have auto height adjustment i have to select it from near the gearshift

I thought all L494's had the auto lowering option in the menus? 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

2022 HSE Dynamic P400e

2017 Discovery 3.0 HSE Silicon Silver Nimbus interior and a few extra toys SOLD

2013 HSE Black, Orkney Grey, Ebony Seats and Ivory Interior SOLD

2006 HSE

Plus a few other cars inbetween!

Unsure - but mine - MY14 doesnt

It’s only available on MY16 I think.

On the L320 RRS, this error was usually caused by the air suspension exhaust valve sticking. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

OK thanks any idea if that applies on L494? or how to fix it?

If it attempts to go into access, drops then raises to max height then there is an issue with the standard height in that the car is sitting too low and when you select access the car drops too much and then goes to default which is to extend to protect the car.

You could try and adaptation but ideally you need GAP IID to do this. Some other diagnostic computers might be able to do this too but GAP allows you to see the measurements and make adjustments etc.

I would check the exhaust valve on the compressor under the spare wheel. Simply undo cover (metal clips all way around) for access. Mine did this when I first bought it. It'll have what looks like white mould on it. Simple fix & cheap for once. Too many horror stories making people worry about nothing. Hope this helps

thanks - can it be cleaned or does it need a new one?

Don't think so they're only like £15 online, suspension compressor silencer it just looks like a gold sparkly bolt really. Obviously could be a different fault but worth try mate

I fitted a new one in the end but the problem persists so just going to live with it
