Ride height 2004 v 2008

Not sure if this has been discussed. Is there a difference in ride height in normal mode between earlier models of disco and later ones. There is a 2008 disco parked in my neighbours driveway and it seems to sit lower...mine looks a good bit higher particulary at the back end. Not long pulled up and defo not in access mode.

Should sit a bit higher at the rear, with 466 mm at the front and 485 mm at the rear when measured to the centre of the wheel thus:



Clearly test on a level surface, full tank of fuel or ballasted accordingly, no additional weight, correct tyre pressures, engine running etc and Tight Tolerance mode.

If you are embarrassed Mike you could jack-up the height with the IID Tool to compensate!

I calibrated mine yesterday using IDS and it made no mention of having a full fuel tank,. It did go into level floor, no one in the vehicle etc. It always freaks me out hooking the diagnostics to the car and watching it do its own thing....
