It's easier and quicker IMO to use a measuring stick to set the heights and you need to do all 4 levels.

I was using a stick at one point so the difference was easily seen as apposed to bending down with the tape measure.
It does make for quicker referencing!!;)

Showing height changes?
All i get is the write section and the read section of the calibrate page are always the same when looking at the standard height section for example. Even after i put the blocks in i had no difference in previous or present.
Now im presuming i dont run the car at the same time as the diagnostic suit?

Engine running to do the calibration or you will pull the battery down and the EAS may play up.
You have to change the height numbers and then write them, you can then "Get heights" again to verify the change has been accepted.

With the engine running, what voltage do you have at the battery? I ask because a duff alternator can play havoc. Otherwise it points to the driver pack.

the connectors in the EAS box are another trouble spot.
If you are really stuck, I can lend you a tested driver pack.

How did you cut them Tony?

Go down side with a sharp scriber tease them out. Then pack suitable washers bit of Vaseline and push them back in. You may have to cut the tail off. Then use one of those Stanley type knives you can snap the blade off to get a new edge. Extend blade as far as possible wet blade. Then staring at front of blade apply slight pressure and make one steady stroke using all of blade to give an even surface. Did all mine a few years ago all ok since.
