Is there a way to keep the suspension in low height? I read there’s an override in the boot, if I remember the fuse panel on the right. I can’t find it on the car.
I’m not trying to have it slammed lol.
I need to take it on the the channel tunnel Monday, normally go in with the buses etc, but there’s no room left.
I’ve got the standard wheels, internet tells me height is 1902 mm.
Max height for normal carriage on the train is 1850mm.
Lowering the suspension must be well over 50mm.

But I don’t want the height going up accidentally etc.

I need to book it now, help please someone or I guess I’ll be letting the air out of the tyres at Folkestone.

On my 2004 L322, you could drive it up to a certain speed at access height (15-20mph IIRC) so yours should be the same - maybe practise first, though, to be on the safe side!

Oh, and don't try it on an air-suspended Classic. These lift up as soon as you drive off...

Thanks for your reply.
Hopefully it should be ok. Just got to keep an eye on the ride height button, make sure it stays low. I know you can have it high up to 30mph ish, not sure about low.

Thinking back to my 2007 Vogue, you could lock it at access height by lowering it and continue to hold the lowering button until you hear a bong and see a message on the dash saying locked. There is also a padlock symbol beneath the button which illuminates when locked.

Then, like DR says it will remain at access height up to a certain speed but it gives you another bong and a warning message to slow down first.

I used to take mine on the Eurotunnel train often without probs.

I hope that is correct, I have had a few model years and forget exactly which is which wink
