RR Height restriction in car parks

Been using the FFRR recently for work and having a few problems finding car parks that it fits in. Never came across this problem previously as we never take the RR into town for shopping etc.

What's the exact height of the FFRR?

Most multi story car parks round here seem to be 1.9m high and even with the RR in access height i didn't dare risk it, was only me in car so couldn't have a close look.

Any advise and has anybody else experience this problem.

Ride height: 1.86m
Access height: 1.82m.

It WILL fit, but it WILL give you the Sh Censored ts at the same time. Laughing

I have taken my car into a 1.9m multi-story car park with suspension lowered and it still looks close.

One thing that L322 doesn't have that Freely2, Disco3/4 and Rrsport all have is a transfer with all the heights and clearances stuck on the drivers side sun blind, I cannot understand why on earth L322 doesn't have the same info as it is buried away in the manual. I have photocopied it and put it behind the drivers side blind for quick reference.
I've never had a problem with 1.9m high multi-storey carparks except in my Defender. Mostly that height is the height of the folding barrier so that commercial vehicles don't use the carparks 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

With it lowered, the back drops more. (GPS Fin)

I would hope the handbook allows for the fin? Shocked

Can you inhibit ride height, in access like the P38? I think you just had to stay under a certain speed.

Yes, press the padlock button in the middle of the 'twiddler' to change the ride height.
Locks it as long as you stay under 25mph I think...

Will be making a warranty claim for a height sticker then! Just checked both sun visors on each side and no height table. Maybe that's why I got a discount from James! 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

I also have 22" alloys but even with standard think i'll keep looking for other car parks as it seems abit to close with above figures.
