Ashes and I fitted one to my D3 last weekend. Pretty straightforwards. The panel under the steering wheel pulls out from the top, may need some force. The connectors are very tricky, take your time. Other than that all quite easy, no errors, calibration worked first time. And it's VERY cool!
I recon you will be very happy with it. A well thought out piece of kit.
I just fitted the Llams height adjuster to my D3 today.
I was glad that I was able to downlaod the instructions with photos from this forum, as the instructions that came with the kit were pretty poor, just text with no pictures.
Here are the height settings after calbration. I thought there must have been some sort of error, so I did it a couple of times with similar results.
I did all the tests with no-one sitting in the vehicle on level ground.
1. With Llams set at -20mm and Access height selected
Front -19mm, Rear -22mm
This is about what I expected.
2. With Llams set at +50mm and Normal Road height selected
Front +36mm, Rear +38mm
3. With Llams set at +50mm and Off-Road Height Selected
Front +10mm, Rear +31mm
It seems that it does not get to 50mm height extension I expected in either normal or off-road settings. Anyone got any ideas on this? I've emailed Llams for an opinion but whould like to hear what others have found.
The expectation was that the installation would only be done by persons familiar with removing the necessary covers, so listing the steps was all that was considered necessary. Indeed, I was urged to have the kits only fitted by workshops but thought that unnecessary. Even though less experienced people have been fitting the kits, very good detailed instructions have been produced by another member of this site so the original instructions have not been updated when perhaps they should have been.Quote:

There are systems that permit that for Jeeps. But I think that's overkill for a Disco.Quote:

I understand their concerns but plenty of leaf spring/coil Nissans & Tojo's AND D2 Landrovers that have 2+ inch raised permanent suspension lifts. Are these also in violation? If that's the case then any of the off road suspension fitters/sellers are also in breach.
Anyone care to comment of=r in Melbourne and have the Llams fitted?
Cheers,

If the shop in question cannot explain why they consider the LLAMS to be in breach, and provide justification to prove their case such as citing specific regulations then I'm not interested. If they can, then I'd love to know.Quote:

Oddly enough many mechanics take too lax a view of mods - tyre diameters, rim offsets and more - so to have one go the other way is unusual.
In Victoria the rule is 1/3 suspension travel so in general a 2" lift for a 4WD is well within limits, and insurable which is a seperate, but related point.
Dealer = "Section 17.1 Motor Traders Act"
You've lost me on this one?Quote:
