Hi Stephen and welcome to the club!
Have you gone through your fuses to check for a blown one or two?
You can check under the seat after identifying the heater plugs and check there is voltage there. If so the heater elements could be damaged inside the seat.

Thank you very much but ive tried the fuses and both ok. I dont have a multimeter to test with. Everything is plugged in underneath. It could be the element as it does have 216000 miles on and still going strong 
. Also the 4x4 screen is showing the passenger rear wheel is low which makes it deflate every night. I have changed the sensor twice the plug once and done a calibration myself and its still the same. Any ideas lads ?

Yes mate rear passenger wheel. Everything works fine when its running. It goes up and down etc. But the screen says its down. I have took the fuse out over night and it stayed inflated all night put it back in next day and left it and it was on its bump stops next day

Hi Stephen, welcome to LZ.
Be careful if you push the button and the lights come on but no heat, if the elements are broken you may be supplying power to them and they could arc and burn. No heat “Turn them off”.
I left mine and it wasn’t long before the smell of electrical smouldering filled the cabin. There are various replacement elements available for a DIY fix. Good luck.

Hi mate i have done that myself with my fault reader. Funnily enough tho it doesn't show any faults for the suspension on the reader. All the special programs work fine.

Oops sorry, I didn't see how far the thread had gotten....

Did you get the sensor mounted correctly - and is it the correct sensor?
The calibration will fail if values are not within +/-3mm of expected measurement based upon the other wheel positions so it's possible the calibration wasn't fully completed.
Compare the sensor mounting to the opposite side, if you're not sure, post a photo. The sensors are unique to each corner so if you used a front or one for the offside rear, the position reported will be incorrect.

Hi mate thanks for your interest. I got the sensor off amazon as it said the left rear sensor. It all fits correctly. I done the calibration with the measuring tape and they are all spot on just cannot get the light off the dash as for some reason my fault reader wont let me into the ecu even know it is a expensive 1 and does the calibration.
Thanks

Done that multiple times and it doesn't move it stays fully down on the screen. The other 3 work on the screen
Then its either a wiring fault or a sensor fault, have you checked the connectors in the NSR wheelarch, mounted on the chassis rail for moisture ingress? What position is shown on the 4x4i screen with the height sensor unplugged?
