Faultmate can only change settings by a maximum of 25 mm. Llams can be calibrated using access height instead of normal height as the "normal" height to theoretically obtain almost double the height change on any setting. However from the feedback I've received, Llams +50 (or rods) used with off-road height provides all the clearance required to clamber over huge boulders and any more lift would restrict suspension movement undesireably so calibrating for double height would be pointless.

Edit: food for thought...what to do about height when an ABS wheel sensor fails and the vehicle drops to and is limited to about access height (a special air suspension feature n/a on coilers!) - extra Llams height (but can't recalibrate), doubly-shorter rods, Llams and short rods together?

Hi Ashes
The GOE rods are easy to change\adjust, you just change holes,it takes longer to air down and pump up, you still have 3 height adjustments via the normal switch, they are all just 50mm higher than standard.
I carry the originals in case it needs to be serviced, don't know what you would say the switch and leds were for on LLAMS, if LR asked.

Graeme is right, I forgot to mention that the most you can raise with the Faultmate is 25mm.

This has gone rather off-topic, so I'll start a new one with respect to emergency air kits. Apologies to the OP and the moderators.

Cheers,

Agree and hopfully move the relevent posts on the subject. There has been a lot of good input.

Is done. Threads are free to roam off topic and there is no real issue with that.

All we ask is that each thread discusses a different topic, the FAQ be read, the forum searched and everyone is polite to everyone else!

Hi Graeme,
Where do people usually put the switch when installing in a RRS, mine is a 2007 TDV6 if that makes any difference. Thanks for any assistance rendered.

I'm not familiar with the various RRS layouts other than to know they don't have the options that D3/4s do. I've seen a 2006 with the switch mounted to the left of the instrument cluster but don't think I'd put one there myself. Inside the ash-tray in the centre console of a MY10 RR Vogue seemed a good spot (for non-smokers only!) with the option of later removal without leaving an obvious hole but don't know if the RRS has something similar. Behind the lower steering wheel cover is always an option although no so accessible especially whilst driving.

I have mine on the left lower steering column - adjust by feel but is still OK.

My LLAMS is on the left of the steering column and is fine by feel. I had some suspension fault alarms and Alto fixed it under wty withthe LLAMS jus left in 0mm mode. I've told them since that it's fitted and they don't seem to mind.
