You know B&Q betterer than what I do!
I did have a boss who's wife wouldn't even put petrol in the car. They lived in the sticks, I secretly prayed she'd run out of juice one day! (They weren't nice people!)
Sounds like my wife, she's been driving 15 years and she hasn't either. I once had to drive 25 miles to get the bottle of oil out of HER boot to put in HER engine cos the oil light came on.

Coulda bin worser!
She coulda driven home to show you the light! Mind you perhaps it was still a good thing, I knew a girl who saw her engine was getting a bit hot, so she stopped, opened the bonnet and poured cold water through the oil filler hole.
Wifey did have a bit of a habit of putting petrol in a diesel car, did it at least twice. At least she never started the car. This was back in the day when diesel small cars were a new thing.

Did that the first time, or was that the engine management light
wiimins sometimes need a big sign on the instrument panel saying, "if a light comes on, stop and phone!"Did that the first time, or was that the engine management light
Once had a car and at the back of the manual, where the instructions were given on how to change a wheel, someone had written "or Mandy, just call the AA!"

Eureka!! I forgot about the air suspension having access mode!!!!!! Cheers backinblack & Gstuart Problem solved!
and I was SO close to buying some F#*ing MASSIVE Vernia callipers to measure this damn thing
Just make sure you lock it in access mode
always welcome mate , know u can lock it in access mode but would be also tempted to pull fuse F26 , that will stop the suspension trying to move , for that just in case
Just make sure you lock it in access mode
beat me to it, lol, also mentioned ref pulling the F26 fuse, just so then it doesn’t wake up and try to self level
Never trust a computer! They'll turn round and bite you in the bum when you least expect it! More sensitive than wifey with a hangover!
Whenever i am alone in the dark I keep looking over my shoulder to see if one is there......silently watching me.....with a big knife!u just had to mention the word computer didn't u,
Maybe I should try that, alarm started going off last night for no apparent reason then this afternoon I noticed she had dropped to access height
Battery gone flat?Maybe I should try that, alarm started going off last night for no apparent reason then this afternoon I noticed she had dropped to access height
Wifey's car alarm went off the otehr day for no reason, then we found out, flat batt was the reason!
Anyway, anyone know how high the bonnet is on a D4 in access mode
Maybe I should try that, alarm started going off last night for no apparent reason then this afternoon I noticed she had dropped to access height
same fuse in the D3/4 for disabling the suspension, looks like u have a leak
if u put ur suspension into off road height , measure each wheel from the centre of the wheel to the bottom of the wheelarch then pull the fuse , leave overnight and then see if it drops, if it does should show u which corner , front back , etc
ref alarm, link out ur bonnet switch and see if it still goes off
hope that helps
Nope got in, started first time, and rose to standard height. May have been a bit low but not flat.
