I ended up using an extra EAS inhibitor switch mounted on the far left hand side of the bank of switches (replacing the blank). I have it wired up so they the orange light comes on when the EAS is active and off when the EAS is disabled.

Hi

I fitted one yesterday under my passengers seat, not instantly accessible but pretty easy to flick when needed

You need to cut the purple and red wire, which supplies power to the EAS delay timer, and add a switch into it.

I will try to take a couple of pics later today

I have the locking driving light switch mounted there (it's a genuine switch designed for that purpose). STC7811

I simply cut the red and purple wire and added an on - off switch.
Out of the way, easy to operate with the flick of the thumb and works fine.
I flick it off every time I park it at home and dont use The Bitch for a few days. It is parked on slightly uneven ground and used to settle trying to keep level.
Stupid Bitch wouldn't just be told.
I dont give a bugger how it looks.

I do, that's one reason I haven't done the mod yet. I think I'll do the automatic mod. I referenced above.

Thanks guys,
So, the one with the relay fitted will just shut it off when the ignition is turned off, and by fitting a switch, it will shut the whole thing off.
If I was to cut and fit a switch to the purple and red wire, would that still mean that it would operate when ignition is off?
My thinking is to fit the relay, but also connect a switch so that I have full control.

Yep, switched off is switched off.
I know nothing about this relay thingy.
Occasionally the EAS will go into fault mode, I just switch it off while driving and it will stay at the ride height at the time and not go down to the bump stops. I just drive around like that for the rest of the day untill I get home. Stops and starts make no difference.
When I get home and park the thing I connect my Nanacom and clear the faults and EAS all good.
I then turn the EAS off untill I next need to go out.
I also have the EAS bypass kit installed with the pressure guage.
I monitor the pressure the guage when I lift the bonnet each day before I start the car.
I turn the EAS on before I lift the bonnet.
Being a LR Thingy I always check under the bonnet and check , belts, oil and water and have a general look about before setting off.
