Presumably you could have lowered it with the diagn
You said you could do it here. So then you could pull the fuse before you put the key back in.

No offense, it's very ingenious but don't see the need if your scanner will do it, BTW you didn't say which one you have?

ive been driving it for 3 days now and ive had no issues although it did settle a little lower within a day just slightly so if i do it for anyone else im going to set the height about 2mm higher than they ask it to be because it settles down

yeah mate i see why you would be suspisios but im not forcing anyone to do it! the way i did mine is with two pieces of wire but ive made up a plug with only 6 pins in it and i just connect the other side to my jump pack because its just the case of doing this

yeah ive included instructions id rather the person did it themself id even do a video chat or something like that but i dont mind doing it for someone if they are willing to travel to me
i took 2 hours to do my own as it was the first time i did it but now i am able to put mine up or down to any height i want in less than 10 minutes so it would be a bit ****ty of me to charge someone,i know what its like to not be able to use my car and nobody was able to help me i would rather not have the same happen to anyone else i have already done someone elses aswell
im actually in the proccess of making a cable that can plug between the plug that goes to the air ecu and the ecu its self so you could press a button to raise the car to the height you want and lower it to the height you want im going to post a image of the cable when i get the parts i will also include a guide for this as it could be usefull for offroading and working on the car aswell. i am willing to do this service for free but i plan on selling the suspension adjustment cables if it works out the way i want it to the plan is to mount 3 switches in the glove box one for up and one for down and one to cut the power from the fuse for the eas before you adjust it

Never used IID but I wouldn't think a faulty sensor would stop it from lowering with diagnostics unless you were entering specific values, IMO it would just open a valve until you stop it, I know someone on here had issues with a snapon so we used my Foxwell and had no issues.
What's to stop someone over inflating and blowing up their air bags?

Am I reading all this correctly? You are making some sort of cable to bypass a system that already exists? There is a 'button' that raises and lowers the EAS , already in the vehicle. It has one direction for up and one for down, it can also be used to maintain the vehicle at yhe height you have chosen. It is handy when off-roading.
As for your altruistic, I just want to help, the truth now comes out "i plan on selling the suspension adjustment cables"
Rather than looking for bodges, people should fix their existing system , if broken. These are vehs are not silly little vauxhalls or fords, or similar, that need bitsa,s added. They are built with the system in place.

@gold rover I think this is intended as a work around so when your suspension throws a hissy you can adjust it and make it driveable pending the repair.

I wouldn't make many, I suspect if you make 2 set come christmas time you will still have 2 sets left.

If you are inside the car how can you see the suspension?
P.S. After your comment to @gold rover I think I'd better stock up and popcorn, and you better get some earplugs

It's an LR don't assume anything. Also very stupid to rely on something else to stop you from fooking up.

And IMO the parts would arrive quicker than your cable.
And most people with an LR have access to another vehicle for when it breaks.
And ain't gonna risk causing more damage with a bodge.
Now where's my popcorn
