ARB Drop Link - Suspension Now Stuck in Extended mode
Had the dreaded MOT today - failed on one point which is good news. Offside rear anti roll bar drop link was missing - I think this may have been a victim of a recent pay and play day.
Had the drop link replaced and now the car is sat very high up on the suspension at the rear. Dropping it to access height makes it think there is an obstacle and the car jumps up to extended mode. The front is raising and lowering but not to the same level as the rear.
Got an intermittent suspension fault on the way home from the garage as well.
Is there anything I can do to fully reset the suspension height all around to normal? I dont have an IID tool or anything myself.

Nailed it Mikey.
I had checked all the height sensor rods themselves and they seemed fine. Gave it a little wiggle near the suspension arm and its just pulled away. Snapped right off near the arm itself.
Thanks
Now just to fix it...2006 Discovery 3 - HSE Auto

Hi D3lta & Mikey
I really hope this is what's happened to mine. Had my Disco in for compressor replacement and dealer just phoned me, swearing that he's fed up trying to solve this problem, suspecting a broken wire. He described exact same symptoms: normal height front and stuck in extended height at the back.
How did you end up fixing it D3elta? Did you have to replace the sensor link?
