Thread: LLAMS electronic height controller for D3/D4/RRS

Sorry for the faulty loom.

There is a black wire that runs between the 2 black connectors and another black wire from the male black connector to the connector for the Llams module. Most likely the wire has pulled out of its crimp at one of the black connectors (it would be a 1st), but perhaps I missed soldering it to the module connector (would also be a 1st). I can post a replacement loom directly to you today if you PM your address.

Edit: The black connectors are meant to be fully populated.

I assume the wire has come from the female connector. The cap can be released by prizing each end with a very small screw-driver then the socket retaining clip released thus allowing the socket to be removed from behind. I would not expect the wire to be reliably re-crimped but soldering it should be OK.

I would prefer to send a replacement loom and for the faulty one to be returned when the replacement arrives. I don't have replacement sockets (I get the looms made in the UK in sets) so would hope to repair that one.

Graeme,

No problem, As discussed with you on the phone, I got it fixed. I extracted the metal crimp connector and re-crimped it. It seems to be quite well secured so I went with that. The guys at Davies Performance made sure I was putting it ion the right place over the phone. They had another one they could look at.

I appreciate your replies and you time on the phone. The system seems to work well. The +50 height in offroad mode gives great clearance and will certainly give me more confort off-road.

Thanks again. Yev

I FINALLY got time to install my kit last night. A lot of wires up under the dash, incredibly impressed with your crafty workmanship!!! Only issue I had doing it was trying to mount the black box, so I screwed it to the rubbery back wall lightly, it was my best fix cause the velcro wouldnt stay on anywhere. Love this and am looking forward to been offroad this coming weekend. Thanks!

Thanks Adzee.

There's a horizonal spot low on the inside of the plastic panel behind the removable panel that is just big enough for the velcro and box, albeit a bit tricky to get it good enough.

Having purchased LLAMS early in the year I finally got around to fitting it today. No problems with the kick panel and the steering column panel but the pedal cover would not come out - took the Torx screws out but the panel stayed connected to something up under the centre console - managed to pull it out but it is damaged in the area that goes under the centre console and will require a little plastic welding to fix.

After a little while I was able to find the ECU connectors and pull them off and put in the new ones. All went well.

I then went down to the local park to calibrate the system on the flat. This is what I managed to achieve measured at the top of the front wheel arch.

When set to offroad height and -30 set it actually dropped 35mm
With +30 set I only managed 25mm and on +50 only managed 45mm.

With offroad height set I did not get any height rise when +30 was selected and when I selected +50 I only managed to get 20mm which was disappointing.

I did not get any fault messages.

I will go back down tomorrow when everything is cold and redo the calibration and see how we go then.

I am now at the stage of mounting the controlling switch which I want to put on the flat section of the steering column case - on the left side near the bottom.

I have found and taken out the two torx screws at the bottom of the casing up near the steering the wheel, but the bottom half of the casing still does come clear.

So can someone who has mounted the switch there let me know how the bottom half of the steering column casing comes off.

Thanks

Garry

It could be useful if you were to measure the heights when at normal and off-road heights of 2 wheels on 1 side of the vehicle during the calibration process, ie after switching Llams to -20 whilst at normal height then again when at off-road height but before switching Llams to +50. However when the vehicle levels as a result of what it thinks is weight being added or removed, it seems to have a wide dead-band where near enough is good enough until the vehicle is driven. Driving a little distance with Llams at +50 is more likely to produce the off-road height that existed at calibration time.

Whilst I fitted a driving light switch to my steering wheel cover, I cannot remember just how the cover was attached. I'll have a look later if no-one provides the clues.
