Did you give the vehicle time for it to realise it needed to extend

Well it works for me
I wish I'd known that yesterday - I got the 'reset suspension when clear' message but didn't realise I had to do anything else it might have helped me if I'd know - but now I do, thanks for that info Andrew
Here is a pic of access height on the left, through standard off-road height in the middle, and super extendy mode on the right.

HI,
For information, where is the air intake of the air compressor ?
My point is : can the compressor be damaged by raison in liquid mud, or in water ?

The air intake for the compressor is filtered and is located up towards the rear light cluster.In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

It wont keep going in Super Extended mode. It lowers automatically when it realises you have been naughty and not 'reset after clearing the obstacle' At this point you wont hear a bong but you will be given a mild electric shock through the seat base, as a punishment for ignoring the instruction to reset.In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I couldn't get this to work - what's the trick please? I'm sure it'll help my bad back when pressure washing underneath.
I have a lump the same width as the chassis beam with a 6" nail hammered in the end to locate in the jacking point (I didn't want it slipping off and punching into the cabin). I can kick it into place when the car is in extended mode - I try and drop it manually so it thinks it's floating, but nothing Dr. Ian Malcolm:
