Lincolnshire is a big county,any chance you could narrow the location down a bit @steveeasy as you can see from my location I`m in Lincoln and have heard some bad reports about a garage just outside the city overlooking water, pm me if you would rather not disclose on here.

Now known as the Infamous 4 Louth,now
Louth so not local to me then, did have couple of bits off them 30 years ago when I bought the first RR nothing since though, one guy that writes in LRO mag did work there but noticed that last couple of times he has had something in LRO he now works somewhere else, I wonder why.
Hey ive made a massive error they did do something. ive not seen car in daylight. they pulled of the sill cover to see if it was rusty and left it dangling. they have broken the cover on driver seat to fiddle with plugs. so they broke a couple of things and lost interest.

Given it a like but bugger really !
Hi,
trying to find the right diagnostic tool to sort the L322 suspension out. Previously the RR indy did check wiring that they said was ok. they did not say any problems with height sensors. they said ive a loose knuckle bush. theysay the geometry is out hence the suspension going in to fault mode. Oh need new pump. I suspect there is some logic in all this. the play from the loose knuckle bush could upset the system. I still think I need to change height sensors. the car is a lot more level since they did their bit. however low is normal. normal is off road and high is well cant get there.
So I am going to fit a new bush. and try and recalibrate it myself. Ive been told this morning Nanocoms does not cover L322 2003. The foxwell nt510 elite seams worth a try but the Chinese are on holiday until the 18th Feb. anyone recommend any other diagnostic tool. I am back on the case as the car needs sorting or all the work will have been wasted.
Thanks

Might be worth you checking out posts by myself, @dwarfer and @stustrong in past couple of weeks on suspension height calibration with the INPA software and lead, got mine now slightly under what it should be with it (4 foot 11 inch wife so she`s happy).

@steveeasy
yeah we had some issues
you could say that...@kds was nearly there, after a marathon session, dating back to last year, then another part curled up its toes ,height sensor rubber bearing bit the dust
now all good, now in fine tuning mode
on a loop !@dwarfer mine was just about everything in sight going batty
, that too dated from last year, fine until a bag blew outchanged everything,now im in the ball park, instead of the ball ache
i just have to remember to put in - ( minus ) re inpa calibrating, i forgot
hows that possible! i too am in fine tuning mode,and within 4 mm, looking for better, dought i will find it, but ever hopefull

hi there
bc cables on the bay cost a bit more blue in colour, but the chinese silver cable work too, some have a switch some dont.
i had to fit a switch to mine
easy to do lots of vids on youtube showing , either directly soldering across pin 7 and 8 or adding switch.
and inpa download ( with thanks to @stustrong and @kds ) for information , was mikes easy bmw downloads again online
its a bit of a faff, it helps if you are computer savy and not like me...
i first tried the disc that came with my chinese lead, BAD IDEA !!
i think it downloaded the entire chinese phonebook and a feck load of other spam, so after removing that cr@p and disinfecting the laptop i went with easy mikes bmw download... you live and learn..
on the inpa once installed its e53 old x5 series and click into the systems to check.
p.s.. i know the nt530 got some stick, re calibrating.. but its a good tool and will get users out of trouble,well worth it for the price compared to the big names.
Bit late to the party @dwarfer and @steveeasy but I would go for cable with switch on it, my original cable didnt have the switch and I have since bought one with purely because it gives you a bit more option. It might need several goes to get suspension about right but at least you are not having to pay out each time and yes the Foxwell comes in handy to check on other faults.
