Dangling the wheels should not really be a problem, what do you think happens on full articulation if you go off roading or bump up a very big kerb on the school run? The only problem is the crappy sensors build up dirt on the parts of the track not often used.

Land rover do not recommend the use of two post lifts on Range rover vehicles. As a matter of fact they are specifically mentioned as not suitable.

I think the problem occurs when suspension work is carried out and parts are removed and bits dangle lower than normally allowed buy the shocks.

Plus one to that.
If I'm doing any work that will allow it to drop then I disconnect the sensors but never had any problem letting the wheels hang. I think as said, if the sensors are full of crap or the joints are seized it can cause issues but I guess I've been lucky.

From RAVE so please yourselves.
TWO POST VEHICLE RAMPS
The manufacturer of RANGE ROVER VEHICLES
DOES NOT recommend using ’Two Post’ ramps
that employ four adjustable support arms. These
are NOT considered safe for Range Rover
vehicles.
If a vehicle is installed on a Two Post ramp,
responsibility for safety of the vehicle and
personnel performing service operations is
attributable to the Service Provider.

I do lift mine on a scissor lift but lower the car down to access height to reduce pressure on the shock ends.
I will say I've never had and issues immediately after. Although she likes a dance occasionally
I dont think it's down to the ramp....
Coat, hat and gloves..

That's a safety issue due I presume to the weight, no mention of sensor problems though.
2 post lifts always look dodgy to me but I would like one. No room for a 4 poster.

It's on page 7 of the workshop manual introduction section for the P38
Does it apply to the l322? Or just the p38?It's on page 7 of the workshop manual introduction section for the P38

A good question as it does state L322 on the top of this page in the prefix.

Not looked at the L322 section, but an earlier post shows the L322 on a 2 post lift.
