Just checked the Nanocom manual. It is the Settings manual you need. As Wammers says, need to be the correct height. It never matches exactly but it shouldn't be far off.

I see you're in MK. I'm near Aylesbury so not a million miles away if you want to drive over and have a play one weekend.

You need to make some setting blocks from old broom handle and drop it onto them and read the live values. If they're miles out, slacken the sensors and adjust them until they're within 2 bits side to side then copy the values across and try again.
 
You should be able to tap the stored value boxes and adjust them to whatever you want, I can on mine but if they're not close it will be bouncing all over and fry the compressor very quickly (ask me how I know!)
 
You can only do it properly with the blocks and a little bit at a time on each level there is a chart online telling you what each height is in centimetres and what it reads on the nanocom as there different
 
EASunlock and a tape measure are more than adequate to set the suspension with. I have more than likely had a Nanocom longer than any one on here, but have never used it for EAS setting. So cannot help a lot with this. I suggest the OP goes to the Nanocom site and uses the Emulator, it may help him to understand the various functions. The stored settings could be the system defaults stored in the ECU which are reverted to if a max or minimum permitted parameter on any height is exceeded. They normally are not changeable however Nanocom may have this function. I would suggest noting any settings before changing anything. https://www.nanocom-diagnostics.com/

It isn't difficult. I cannot remember any issues when I did mine. Done MrGorsky's too. With 2 of you it can be done PDQ.
