But I do this too, with the button on the dash called access height. Maybe I’m lucky that my camper lines up like that?

Might be time to draw a couple up, grab some conveyor belt rubber, and go and see my local laser cutting service to get a few cut out me thinks....

I was thinking of alloy.

Here you go a home made set that have worked for years - and only cost a few $$$ to make - not mine.

Nope - similar design but home made.

Look like they’d suit the new defender?

As they say, right took for the job [emoji106] Both good tools

My D3 every now and again (hasn't done it for a while now) throws up a yaw sensor fault, which causes a DSC fault and drops the suspension to access height. Can be rest by cycling the ignition which is a pain in the arse when your on the highway doing 110km. LLAMS I just flick to the +50mm height setting when I get this fault and normal height is restored and I keep motoring along.
Not sure if I can do the same thing with my IID tool while on the run with a fault log clear (never tried it),sure as hell cant do it with rods either (well you could but you need to stop to do it)
So there's one extra thing you can do with LLAMS

Am i the only one who also uses the -50mm setting while on the highway on very windy days? I find i get blown around a lot less when the extra 2 inches lower. Actually, it feels like the winds gone.

Flicking the few buttons on the app while driving out of a car park usually into busy traffic sounds less than ideal.

IID tool is still better than nothing. Both is best. Rods come in last.
