Leave it at normal height open a door or tale gate and jack up one wheel at a time if you can , this will help stop the arms dropping to far and then having the suspension throw a fault @gstuart is you man for this as the sport is a refrocked d3.

Thanks mate. Just wondering what opening door or tailgate will do. Thanks for the reply

For the D3 it’s recommend to put the suspension into off road height , can then pull fuse F26 which will prevent the suspension from moving

Plse , plse, never ever get under the landy without using axle stands

also when the fuse is reinstalled the suspension will drop to access height

opening tailgate etc is to prevent the suspension from moving , however I personally pull fuse F26 from the engine bay which stops the suspension from moving

Plus before I forget , if u have the hydraulic anti roll bar u need to be very careful as u can cause the seals to leak

just need to jack it up just enough to get the wheel off, to prevent as much as possible for the anti roll bar to excessively twist , but alas does put a strain on those seals

Jack both sides at the same time?

indeed, read one the other day where an owner had his bushes etc replaced by a garage then when it came back oil was pouring out of the ARB

What a wonderful design, a complicated active anti roll bar that can potentially blow it's top on maximum articulation, I thought these vehicles were supposed to be able to go off road?

Can they take it? Most modern cars say not to because they cannot take the weight.

the picture i put up above was a top garage and they have done my range rover tyres on all 4 of my rangies for 20 years so i think its ok to use 2 jacks
