    Ride height uneven after fitting new sensor

    My rear air bag suspension went down after hitting a pothole, I found right sensor link arm broken. Fitted new sensor and now vehicle is low on the left side or high on drivers side.
    I know now I should have disconnected the battery first before disconnecting the sensor but I didn't ok.
    I have put vehicle in high lift and it is level but when letting it down is ok until I drive it. Any way of resetting without a Nanocom

    Spray your airbags with soapie water and raise them up and down while looking for bubbles while spraying, sounds like you have a leaking airbag and the senser is ok.

    Thanks tapout but they are new and in good shape, left it on high overnight without going down, it also has a new compressor unit fitted. This problem only happened after the sensor link broke

    The sensor values will need to be adjusted with a Nanocom or similar.

    Check the Electronic Diagnosis thread for someone near you that may be able to help.

    Otherwise, a dealer or Landy specialist will be able to do it for you.

    When you think about how much the rod actually moves in comparison to the back of the car, it isnt much.

    Spot on, I had to punch in new values when I replaced a dodgy sensor.

    Thanks for that advice, I have just received my new toy (Nanocom) can you tell me the size of the setting blocks that you fit in rear suspension to set height.

    Best thing is to adjust the bags so that the car is level during normal loading.

    Don't worry about what the actual numbers are showing on the Nanocom.

    I did mine on a known flat slab of concrete, and used a spirit level & tape measure. Find the same point on both sides of the car, and measure to the ground, then adjust as necessary.

    Don't be too stressed about getting it 100% right. I got mine to within a few mm, and left it at that.

    Thanks BASIL 135 played with my new Nanocom and got values within a nats and then played some more. As you said got it within a few mil and that's near enough .
    Cheers .
