I saw the comment on Facebook, remember now. That'll be why I only got your voice mail yesterday too then. Lol have fun, see you soon.
Oh, with the lack of work I have at the moment, I may have as many changes on the p38 as you when you get back.
Enjoy the bumps.

So I removed it.

I removed Stefan's automatic mod today for the same reason. I've left my manual switch in place.

I made a change today in that I added a switch in series with the relay coil so that I could still isolate the EAS power even with the ignition switched on. Effectively, it is the same as what you blokes have done with a physical switch in series with the purple/red wire.

The modified page was put up on Stefan's site but I see he's reverted to his old page and lost the rewritten page. I don't know why.

In my experience the easiest way to disable the self leveling is to pull the relay from under the left seat and put in its place a 4 pin standard relay. I had to do it while trying to solve another issue with the EAS and it worked brilliantly. It is the equivalent to leaving a door or tailgate open.
Give it a try, supercheap have the relays for about $15 bucks as I recall
