remember that any programmed height reduction on yours will be across all the height modes ... ... - .- -.

Just a quick point to make when considering lowering your FF's gents... Check your insurance cover!
Most WONT cover modifications i.e. Mapping & lowering! Worth checking your cover before tinkering

All FF's before the facelift in 2006 are able to have the access height programmed separately, I've got mine on the bump stops and normal on the other heights....

You just need an IID tool or similar to do it...

No its not hard and there is a write up on the gap home page. Also just write down all the settings before hand. I would try as l did lowering the access height only by 40mm. When you click in it you have to use the arrows to navigate and set. And l am sure you have to confirm and update the settings. If when you set it the access height keeps flashing and wont settle you have gone too far. I think l managed to get mine down 80mm but dont know if it was std prior.
But l did mine by just taking my time.

Thanks John, where did you get your GAP tool from and how much was it? Think its time I got one as had 'air susp inactive' error message up for a few weeks that only just had cleared at repair garage this week

Cheers again

Cant remember off hand but will dig out the receipts. The iid tool comes blank so is the same for all models just when you first plug in downloads vehicle details to it. And l have just resolved a major cooling issue with the iid tool. It is invaluable.
Remember to only change the access height.

If you cant suss it you are welcome to come see me and l will help, also the air suspension on mine played up for a while. If its slow going up it may just be a compressor piston ring, dead easy to change again and cheap on fleabay too

Ok got mine from or direct, they only list the one part number as they are all the same, l was sceptical at first when they told me. Just been on their website and they are out of stock at the mo, worth a call or email though. I might go under the car tomorrow to have a look at my rack and adjust the off road height to get a bit more room, if l do l will get some notes made.

Sorry spell check! LRDIRECT.

Thanks Cov, I'm on the Herts/Essex border just north of london so you're a bit of a distance away, but I'll look into the IID tool and may well be back for tips on adjusting the access height. Has anyone said it could wear the bags quicker because it will be sitting lower on them? (I'm assuming letting more air out of them?) - if thats how it works?

Hi, Very easy to do as has been said, it will back up all your original settings before you start so no need to write anything down, you can return it to stock with a few clicks....

Won't make any difference to the bags, they don't care where they sit....

I have mine set to the bumpstops but you have to be careful, my tyres hit the wheelarch liners and I'd rip the front wings off if I steered it whilst low, also have to make sure the wheels are straight before I lower it... I only did it for my in-laws, they have trouble getting in otherwise, only use it once a month or so....

So, If you will use the feature all the time, just check tyre clearance....

I believe Island 4x4 are about the cheapest, or ask Dan at Duckworths he usually has a good price...  Pete

Just done a quick video, put it on YouTube, backing it up is a better idea as suggested.
Will put the link on for YouTube as soon as uploaded. Forgot how easy it was.

Can't get the link to work but type in l322 access height Samantha
My daughters account and you should see it, let me know
