Just musing to see if there was a good outcome to this problem.
Sorry, I news as yet. She sitting outside the garage waiting for an appointment...
and very patiently I might add in the rain....

Rain has just started here, in earnest.
Could try adding or subtracting 5 to all targets so they're more towards the middle of the default ranges. Just in case the track is wearing in a particular place.
Has it been hanging with all 4 wheels down?
Morning @Grrrrrr, I'm wanting to check the sensors on the bench and as soon as island are sending overseas again I'll oder two new sensors for the front..
If I need them. Hopefully testing will reveal dodgy sensors.
At low road height the front sensor readings twitch on the nanocom live info screen. (if thats the name)?
It has been on my ramp with dangling wheels before once or twice.
I have also moved settings up and down a touch to see if there is a clean/sweet spot but unfortunately not as of yet.

As long as the shocks are OK, letting the wheels hang should not be a problem apart form picking up dirt from the end of the tracks. Off roading, there is always the chance that maximum articulation will occur. Glitches from the sensors on live info is not a good sign. The O rings can fail on the sensor input shaft letting water into the sensor, I have personal experience of this.Morning @Grrrrrr, I'm wanting to check the sensors on the bench and as soon as island are sending overseas again I'll oder two new sensors for the front..

If your vehicle is 1997 or better you can swap the sensors side to side to use a clean track. On earlier versions you cannot.Morning @Grrrrrr, I'm wanting to check the sensors on the bench and as soon as island are sending overseas again I'll oder two new sensors for the front..

Morning Tony, tis à 1999, I've previously done the side to side and a donor pair but this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem has presented itself in the form of a twitching meter!
I removed the FL sensor and connected it my dvmmvm.. Err.. Meter and took it through a slow sweep to watch for flickering and number jumping.
Not so much jumping but when left at just past the half way point around 999 and 1010 ohm(for reference) the readings won't settle and will twitch upto 5-10 ohms.
If left at near full stretch before or after center position the readings are solid and no twitching at all.
So, the conclusion is to replace the both sensors at the front when I can buy them from island.
After the present troubles have subsided hopefully.
The rears on the live data with the nanocom reveal dead solid readings and stable.
This for me builds more confidence in what i saw on the nanocom and also rules out any coms issues between the car and the diagnostics.
Just to add also, I did find a small amount of play in the sensor shaft as it comes out of the sensor housing itself. Which did add to inaccurate readings and flunktuation!

Is that side to side play or in and out?Just to add also, I did find a small amount of play in the sensor shaft as it comes out of the sensor housing itself. Which did add to inaccurate readings and flunktuation!
Side play my good man!
Rld can do them for 228€ à pair or 170€ from island when they back to euro deliveries.

Quite likely the O rings have failed then
Just emailed you a couple of photo's of the insides of a sensor.
I'm off to take a look-see!!Quite likely the O rings have failed then

Is that a type of grease or contamination on the circuit face?Quite likely the O rings have failed then

Muddy puddles in the hills of darkest Yorkshire was all it needed. We did off road to put the caravan on the pitch where we stopped each night on the grand tour to introduce my French wife to the UK and some of my folks.
