    I also replaced the complete air line harness as the previous owner just cut/ripped them out.

    Also did the setup with the Nanocom, took a few times to load the coil to air settings, used a suggestion from sierrafery and set the level using car stands under the chassis and a level in the boot, levelled across the sill just inside the rear door then levelled the boot floor front to back.
    Pretty easy!!

    Did a short trip with the family yesterday and had four bikes on the back and a bit of gear and works really well, pumped up to level again and drives very smooth!

    Think I might have a small leak from a fitting or the valve block?? As it's appearing to drop about 10mm over night (measured at the wheel arches both sides) so will be checking asap.

    Cheers Lemo
    Cool. Thanks man

    SLS can sometimes settle a little overnight ... air in springs shrinks in size as it cools ... if it's a true leak it will keep going down ... not stop at 10mm.

    The D2 with SLS stance is slightly tail down .... slightly.

    This sums up my day. It's times like these I'm glad I have total care, 7 hours trip home.
    The shame of it all, you reckon those towies would have a tarp to drape over it, so to disguise the vehicle and not give the toyota fraternity something to look at and say look typical Land Rover

    From my reading and experience, by design, the SLS releases a small amount of air a few minutes after switching off - you'll hear it - settling the back 10-20mm. It pumps back up as soon as the engine is running and all the doors are closed. I understand it's just to remove pressure from the system when it's not really needed.

    cheers, bidds

    2 days ago returned home & turned the D2 off. Went to go out later & it wouldn't start. Battery only had 12.2v when I checked it later. Left on the charger all next day & battery was still in the 12's. so new battery (optima red top) last night. Flaming thing still won't start!

    Going to check fuses & fuel pump this morning (previous owner put a new pump in a while ago) by unscrewing the fuel filter & cranking engine. If that's not it...call RAA?

    Found it. It was behind the dual battery. Not sure if it's the problem or not but it doesn't look happy. Fuel flowing out of fuel pump.


    Also a blown F2 (15amp) fuse under the bonnet fuse box
