DIY air suspension lowering (without remote)

Just wondering if anyone has done a DIY job to lower the rear suspension without the remote? It seems pretty simple to me by either

1)[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Intercept the signals from the ride height sensors and make the SLABS ECU think the suspension is too high
2)[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Install a switch to provide power directly to open all 3 air valves
3)[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Intercept the signal from the BCU to SLABS ECU which tells the ECU that a button has been pressed on the suspension remote (although I think this would be a digital signal not a simple analogue one)

According to Rave the SLABS ECU will only make the air bags deflate when the ignition is switched off so the suspension won’t try to raise again once you remove the intercept

Do you mind me asking why? Have you lost the remote?

I have just bought a TD5 and do not have the remote, can they be easily bought from a Landrover dealer.?

Yes they can, £100 plus re-program plus vat about £150 I was quoted.

That's why I was looking at the DIY option
