That would be my next step as Road Force seems to be the most likely to give that 'new car' ride.
Not tried it myself but lots of good reports.

Have you had the dynamic response fluid changed as I noticed a small improvement?

Okay, I'll get it booked in for road force.

I used Neinmeister Porsche in Warrington for a road force on my Bentley and it did bring a good improvement.

Thanks Stan, the plan so far is a road balance on the wheels then an alignment by hawke eye if I can find someone with it if not Hunter.

Will update Thumbs Up

Right got an interesting one for you guys to puzzle over...

So my RR has auto access height and with me having it turned on it drops to access whenever I alight the vehicle.

Driving away it raises itself back up as you'd expect.

Me and my partner met up with friends tonight and whilst sitting in the car talking before leaving I manually raised the suspension up to normal height from access.

On the drive home the suspension felt much better damped and just better over all compared with the drive down (about a 40 minute trip)

That makes no sense to me but I'll do some testing and see if it's repeatable!

Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated Question

You can switch auto lower off, and would need to be switched off during a geometry setup... You can also manually lock your car into any height you wish. Simply hold the suspension lock button for 3 or 5 seconds... This might help you diagnose your problems? Thumbs Up

Do you have a lock button that isn't on the lower button? The one on the lower button locks access height for a faster speed in underground carparks.

Yes I could switch auto lowering off and just leave it in normal height for a bit to see how I get on.

I only have the ability to lock in access height as far as I'm aware.

Holding the down button with the lock just lowers and locks the car to access height when in normal height.

Just weird how that seemed to make a difference doing what I did last night, will test over a few days and perhaps measure heights when allowing the car to automatically rise to normal height vs me manually selecting normal height

i wonder why the ride would be affected like that....after access mode, could it be the compressor is struggling to pump enough air into the system to give a good ride..
..or maybe a sensor somewhere? ... - .- -.

Seams really odd I have to say… Certainly shouldn’t make a difference…
That said, it’s not hard to damage components driving it in lowered mode up a badly made track! Always good practice to press the up button before you drive away…

It had a new compressor about a month back Stan under LR warranty as it was throwing up normal height only due to the original being tired.

Craig, I see what you mean but in my ownership its only seen paved roads so far so hasn't been driven on any bad tracks in access height.

I'm sure it was fine when I bought it and drove it home Laughing

For the record, locked at access height has a maximum speed of 40 kph, above which the vehicle will raise to normal height.
