or maybe not enough fluid getting to the TC ? The viscosity will drop as it warms up, when could also limite TC drive ?

I'd driven around with it in the down position and it had no intention of trying to move.. then i turn the ignition on and it does the usual 3 wipes as though i'd sprayed the screen wash, but I'd not touched the stalk :D
The rear wiper will just be finishing off it's sweep. There's a sensor and a magnet so it knows it's not parked. The motor armature sits in a bush rather than a bearing and can get a bit rusty and start to sieze and draw too much current. Mine...
It's a worm gear so you can't move it by hand. It has current sensing so it turns off if it draws too much. If you're quick you can turn the ignition off and on then leg it to the back and help it along before the motor stops again.
The suspension fault I was chasing for 18 months was from a bodge by a previous owner where they had just twisted the wires together. The more green the connection became the more often it happened. Once I found and soldered it it's been fine.
It's done!!!!
Bought LR023651 and installed it and then the calibration went through without any problems. I can now raise and lower the car without any problems and it no longer goes into extended mode.
I would like to thank everyone...
That's very odd - have you tried swapping the +5V & the 0V lines over? I know you say it's wired correctly, if nothing else, it'll eliminate it as a possible cause.
Only the ) volt and +5 volt wires can be swapped, the third wire has to be on the correct pin or there will be no change in the values as the arm moves.
I'm glad you said that! I've got a graph showing expected voltages vs. height somewhere, I'll see if I can find it! You've also got me thinking if the cause is in fact a rear sensor if both sides are tracking equally...
It won't adjust with a door open.
It should stay at what ever height you select. Although it will self level every 4 hours or so.
Off to work now so going off line.
That's why they're finger-turn knobs, not bolts ;) it takes about six minutes to get to the spare, as long as the dogs are not in residence and it's not raining otherwise they're 'problematic' to get out...
I do have a bottle of sealant, a...
