Have a slight problem with my D3. When I choose access height it thinks there is something underneath the vehicle and goes into extended mode. Drives OK and sits at normal road height OK.
Have recently had a service (non LR/Dealer mechanic) and had all the brake rotors skimmed and new pads. Also changed the diff and transfer case oils as well as the engine oil.
I have just got my faultmate so will be having a look with that this weekend. In the meantime any clues as to where to look?

TIA

Brake discs Skimmed ? you must be joking ,probably cost more than new discs!!Check the sensor rods and sensors to see if they are still positioned correctly and the wiring to them isnt damaged . You sue your not taking the family dog for a walk ?

Ivan - have you got LLAMS fitted - if so check that you have not got -20mm selected because if you have the car will try to lower lower than access height - hit the bump stops and think it has been grounded and go into extended.

Thanks for all the suggestions, will take a good look this weekend. I did check and the cat was not under the car :p
Parked it outside my mates house and the problem arose. Tried it in my driveway and it lowered itself OK. However, I had tried it in my driveway before and it lowered and then went to extended mode. No LLAMS fitted but I am waiting on a set of Gordons modified height sensors.
To get the brake discs skimmed cost me $20 a disc so a bit cheaper than new discs. I would have fitted new discs but the mechanic reckoned the existing ones were fine and just needed a skim.
