In searching for the reason why some looms can still cause various but mostly front valve faults I have determined that the cause is still the partial parting of the grey joined connectors where the LR grey connector plugs into the grey Llams connector but that the location of the cable tie in the centre of the connectors, as shown in a picture (now deleted to avoid incorrect advice) in a preceding post, is not always adequate. A revised recommendation is to fit the cable tie between the 1st and 2nd set of wires from the long side where the thicker black wire is located.

This will cause various faults:

This is good but can be distorted to loose contact:

Install into 2007 Supercharged Sport

Thanks Graeme the cable tie done the trick to start with but still plays up a bit with the suspension “raising slowly” starting to be indicated again.

I have installed the Controller switch into the ashtray location and I have changed out the Special Mode switch to a small rotary key switch – I had to lengthen the cable on the Special Mode switch.

Thanks for this thread in helping out the install.

The raising slowly message has nothing directly to do with Llams. The message occurs when the compressor cannot raise the vehicle quickly enough which may just that a big change in height is required but maybe the compressor isn't working as quickly as it should, perhaps due to a clogged dryer or worn-out exhaust valve or the compressor itself is failing.

The key switch is a good way to prevent accidental usage with the switch mounted in such an accessible spot.

Excellent product, easy to install and I am happy to recommend it.

Very nice, you just purchased a new product that raises the height of the vehicle.

And just by chance the LR3 without the height ignores the warning that his system will lower and is driving over 50kmh and then runs over pot holes that hit hard enough to damage it.

Yet you, with the extra inches hit the same pot holes going over 50kph and no damage, not even a bent rim.

Thats a tall story you have fabricated to make the investment seem better.

Welcome to the forum BobJ - Nice first post... :eek:

Until you understand the context perhaps you should sit back and be less of a... I dont know.... ****** :cool:

The issue is not potholes, its the centre ridge under the vehicles belly plate that often does the damage, and when following tracks its often impossible to avoid being in the wheel ruts which places you right inline with this issue.

Combine this with the fact that our tracks can (and do) go for well over a thousand miles and the 50km/h restriction is not viable for outback travel.

A device such as LLAMS which allows this to be over-ridden really does have a significant benefit when traveling and the convenience of twisting a selector to pick the suspension height is brilliant.

On a recent 1400 mile run, we needed the additional bump travel of extra lift, however were traveling at 70-90mph for long undulating and corrugated sections (went out to our former nuclear test site)...
Without the +30mm function the vehicle would thump the bump stops, raised +30mm and it was a pleasant and comfortable ride (for 8-10 hours at a time).

So whilst I welcome you to our happy forum, and hope you can enjoy it here - If you wish to continue in the vein of this, your first post - May I suggest you stick your Cranium where the sun has no luminance and be careful that the door you entered via doesn't hit you on your posterior as you exit.

Not a tall stary sunshine, fact, I have seen this system in action when out with friends.

Besides, you don't have to buy the system, knowone is twisting your arm, just recommending it.

Also, not the best first post by someone, is this how you speak to everyone for the first time, have some manners mate!!!
