Hey just wondering if anyone has had their RRS locked in access mode or fitted a lowering module??
If so how have you found the ride quality, bearable??

This has been discussed quite widely, just use search to find out more.
As far as I remember, Adam RRS has his locked in access mode and is satisfied...

Isn't the ride arse numbingly solid though?? I drive 5 cm in low access and I hate it...

Nick, I think it all depends on the driver...
I had a Mini with racing suspension and it was a nightmare to drive on normal roads and personally would never do it on a RRS...

mine was done by reprograming the ECU,

its 25mm lower, and to be honest, i have not noticed any difference! it was done by a friend whilst i was having work done to it, and to be honest, it looked lower but i never noticed a difference in ride! RR Sport supercharged 06

Slim - you can try it out on your own car without any modifications................................ find a poorly maintained stretch of road and lower the car to access height and keep the button pressed until you hear the chime, it is then locked in access height and will not automatically rise (this is designed into the system by LR for use in multistorey carparks with low ceilings.) It will give you a pretty good idea of what it will be like if you have it permanently lowered.
Despite what has been said above, I think you will notice a difference and you might even loose some tooth fillings. BTW if you drive any distance with the suspension locked down you risk severe damage to the airspring system as the car will be riding on parts not designed to be driven any distance on. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I've had a lowering module fitted and it still rides pretty much as smooth as every other Sport I've been in...

A lowering module does not lower the car to the access height, hence its still driveable.
Try to lower your car yourself and have a drive.
Look here..

My mistake...

I've not tried it, just asking the question and debating wether or not to go down the route of lowering the car.... given what I've been reading, I think I'll give it a miss

Thanks for all the info again!
