Why does my D4 sit lower than most D3?

[Lotz-A-Landies]

Over the last year or so I've been noticing the height of my D4 seems to sit noticably lower than D3?

Measure it and if it is wrong calibrate your height sensors to correct the height.

In the back of the iidtool manual (http://www.gap-diagnostic.com/support/documents.html) is the measuring process, factory heights and calibration sheet. HTH

It had a service only Monday week ago, but I didn't ask about height.

What I did mention some time ago is that as soon as I stop it drops about 50mm, even drops while sitting at traffic lights. They say its normal. ????

Some degree of that is normal, certainly my car has always done it and sometimes I have thought it was excessive. Height sensor calibration has reduced how much and how often mine does it. Has you car had any suspension work (LCA or suchlike) ? Or any reason to have had any suspension component removed and refitted ?

No,
After a major warranty claim, I'm not tempted to modify anything till its out of warranty.

Has it always sat at the current height ? Does your stability control function as you expect ?

You can change the height to whatever you like via sensor calibration. There is a tool that a LR dealer will have to do precise measurement of height to enable the math for sensor calibration. They're unlikely to want to do it as it is a bit time consuming.

A tape measure will tell you if it is out of spec but make sure you cycle height and allow the car to settle by moving back and forward before you measure.

How shall I put this...are you er... "generously" proportioned?

Uncalled for!

With electronic air suspension, the height shouldn't change if the sole occupant weighs 45kg or the car is full of 7 members of a Pacific Islander rugby team.

Now you can go back to your coil spring mentality.

It will when they all got out... As it would rise due to less load.

It will then adjust back down to calibrated height.
