    L322 EAS change lockout with trailer

    Hi guys,

    I've just been searching for some info on changing the EAS mode when it locks out when connected to a trailer.

    I have a 2004 Td6 L322 and am planning on doing some trips with an offroad camper trailer and was wandering if the suspension settings can somehow be altered to allow offroad height whilst towing a trailer? I guess the obvious way around it is to unplug the trailer when crossing a river, etc, but that will disconnect my electric brakes for if I want the car in offroad height down a steep hill, etc

    So I wanted to know if anyone has a workaround with this?

    Also, i was about to order a Faultmate FCR as a simple code reader and resetter but thought if there are customisations required in the computer for the suspension settings, I may need a more advanced system if there's one out there that can work around the suspension system customisations?

    Thanks guys for any assistance!

    Oops! Soorry I guys, I didnt realise this was my first post on this forum! I should have introduced myself!

    I live in Sydney and am on my third landrover (previous was a classic and then a TD5 Defender) This is my favourite so far. The main issue im finding is setting it up for outback trips with the lack of aftermarket parts available. I've had the car for 4 years now stock standard and am planning to tour from Cairns across to the Kimberley's in June for 3 months sop am looking at adding a few extras. We'll be sticking to fairly well travelled roads as my wife and I also have an 18 month old and by then a 6 month old!

    Thanks again guys for any assistance.

    Hi Flyboy.
    Firstly Welcome to the forum you will find it extremely helpful as I have . Would probable never have bought a R.R. if it had not have been for this forum. Other forum to check out are: fullfatrr.com & rangerovers.net
    You have a couple of simple choices that I know of.
    1. Johnson Rods. Will give you a permanent lift at all highs. ( I think) LR3 Lift Kit - Johnson Rods - Range Rover Sport Lift Kit
    2. EASControl or IIDTool from GAP Diagnostic. This will allow you to reset individual heights as required.
    Home - GAP Diagnostic
    Faultmate may also do this but I dont know.
    Pretty sure trailer height is always at standard but I'm sure others may be albe to correct me on this

    Gary

    Thanks Gary,

    I just checked out Gap diagnostics......sounds like it has potential. Also, after all the searches ive done on fault readers, I had never come across the IIDtool which sounds very good. I've emailed Gap diagnostic with questions regarding the trailer locking the suspension and will post the response here when I get it.

    You should get an answer fairly quickly - Steve from GAP Diagnostics is very good at getting back to you about features, etc.

    I emailed Rovercraft the other other day for a price on one, and off the top of my head, I think they were about $540 or something like that - I will be getting one soon I think.

    Oh - and welcome to the forum!

    Hi Gav & Marcus I paid $373 for my IIDTool direct from GAP Diagnostic as a beta tester. May want to ask them direct ( or on fullfatrr.com - View topic - IIDTool from Gap Diagnostics or here New products from GAP Diagnostic – beta testers needed - Page 2 ) if they need any more Beta testers. Patrick told me they didn't have many TD6 owners. So worth a try
