100mph (or 160kph), correct, or at least that's what the manual says. Land Rover customer assistance did confirm to me that the 'true' speed is 100kph (62.14mph) for 30secs - it should return to normal when below 80kph (49.71mph) for 60 secs.

If you are measuring the height when the car is parked, it will not be at the motorway height. No longer FF owner but still interested. Present car Jaguar XE ............................................ Previous car Td6 SE ................................ Previous LR- Disco 300TDi Auto |

I am taking several measurements, directly at the side of the motorway, just off the motorway (park and ride) and stationary. Access mode measures at 118cm.

You haven't stated what year of vehicle you have. I was poking around in all the various versions of the manuals, and couldn't find one that doesn't have a motorway indicator except for a 2007+ car which has no mention of a motorway level at all.

Huh? My RR was originally sold in Rome. It has the motorway height indicator. I bought a US manual via ebay (can't read much Italian) it shows the motorway height indicator. And, while I will admit that it's one of the details I have not spent a great deal of time observing, I am relatively certain that every L322 I've ever been in had a motorway height indicator - both here and in the US. (And I have been in quite a number now. Don't actually think I've ever been in a UK spec L322 tho, come to think of it) Where is this info from? A much better way to measure (oem spec actually) is at the wheel arches, BTW. It's easiest either measuring ground to wheel arch or upper wheel edge to arch (on level ground!). RRC 2Dr, RRC 4Dr, P38, and 2 L322s (wife thinks I'm nuts - prob right, too) |

Actually, it would be if you parked before driving 1 minute at under 45mph. RRC 2Dr, RRC 4Dr, P38, and 2 L322s (wife thinks I'm nuts - prob right, too) |

I didn't think this was the case either, which is why I went poking about in various manuals. In a 2007 manual there is no motorway height indicator, but there is no mention of motorway height at all. Any manual I found that mentioned motorway height had a height indicator on the console. I didn't read *all* of them though! |

Does the manual you downloaded actually make any reference to motorway height? I had a feeling it just doesn't exist in the later models based on what I saw last night. |

That looks just like my UK spec TD6 suspension panel and I have never noticed any lights to indicate "motorway mode" - I have to admit that I assumed it may lower by 1" automatically above 60mph, but didn't need to tell you about it ! |
