For a friend's p38. He had a low rear nearside and discovered the height sensor plastic mounting broke off allowing it to pivot. He's ordered and fitted 2 cheapy ones on the rear but the problems remain or worse. I have nano but would I be correct in thinking that level blocks are needed to calibrate? Or can it be done with a tape measure and the nano ?

You can use a tape measure or calibration blocks, old broom handle cut up works wonders ;)

Are you really asking for a friend?
 
I managed with with a tape on a carpark.. helps if the tyres are well inflated.
Mine was completely hopeless when i got it so i averaged the numbers or and sweet them all the same for the height i was working on and adjusted from there.

You don't have to get exactly the right height for each wheel and make sure you're within 2 bits on each axle
 
Silly question incoming...
Does fitting new sensors mean the eas has to be set up via tape measure or whatever? There is no adjustment on the mounting so they 'should' read correct once fitted? Or do manufacturers tolerances vary so much they always need setting up when replaced?

Most likely...either use a stick to measure from hub cap to the top of the wheel arch (easier than remeasuring with a tape the whole time), blocks are the fool proof way and save lots of running around the car (in lieu of crawling under the car, of course). Although assuming you also have your "friend" :) to help then the rhythm stick approach shd be fine

The sensors are not precision devices, calibration is always needed when a new sensor is fitted. I always use a measuring stick, much quicker than faffing around with blocks.
