We still need someone who wants the prototype who is close to Sydney so mods can be made to the system as we go.

I have a video. Can I upload to my gallery or do i need to go through YouTube? â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games”

Goesn't like the MPEG I uploaded. No video just sound. Confused

Any ideas? â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games”

United Kingdom 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Graphite LE Auto Unknown ColourDiscovery 4

This a long shot as I have no idea on how the suspension works, but from what I can see the height sensors are probably some sort of measurement based on resistance (bit like a potentiometer). Would it not be possible to wire in a second value which could be switched in to vary this value depending on whether you wanted to higher or lower the suspension. It would act like a shortened rod and you could just switch out the circuit via a dash switch. Obviously it would need to be calibrated to make sure it worked, but you could do this with a trimmer.

Of course all this is based on the level sensors being resisitive, so if they are not I am talking rubbish. Also if it were that easy I guess everybody would have done it by now.

There is a system which effectively does that. Takes the values from the sensor and alters the output to the CPU, gives a number of height options........$2500 plus fitting. Shocked

Looking at about a grand plus fitting but can be easily DIY fitted with some car ramps or with more difficulty without.

I think I'll have to youtube the vids. â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games”

The rods sense for self leveling, traction control, diff locks terrainn response and DSC. The need to work. Shortening rods just moves the range they work slightly but they still operate and control all the functions. â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games”

Still need someone to take the prototype and wreck it.
