OK I'm here guys.
Just got in from sitting in the driveway raising and lowering the car to wind up the neighbours.(Cheers Flinty)
What you have to do is :- Starting with key in ignition (Not turned on)
1) Turn hazard lights on
2) Remove Key
3) Press and hold down LR button
4) Move suspension height to access height and hold for a second or two.
Hey presto, jobs a gooden!
To operate - hazards on / doors closed hold LR button & press lock or unlock to raise or lower (compressor cuts in if required)
PS. Its designed for hitching up etc The hazards do have to be on for it to work 
Got to go out and play with it now (its completely reversible so give it a go)
Ps Flinty, PM your Personal Email, I've got a lovely shot of you coming out the sheep dip I'll send you TDV6 HSE - Light Guards - White Reflective Sticker

The compressor will only fire up when he engine is running - If you have just parked it up and switched off, you can only do it until the accumulator runs out of air. Craig

Reggie,
Please tell me this was not from a swingers party. These sort of images can be very damaging you know. I might have to go for therapy.

Reggie,
 First time out was a fortnight ago. My son and friends arranged a trip to Ireland Bass fishing and I just couldn't say no. Fishing pretty everage to say the least. We only had 10 Bass to 5lb on plugs, where as last year same place they had over 100 all put back alive I might add. Just getting the bug again so I think it's about time I got things sorted for a D3 trip. Especially as the Cod are now showing...I'm told.
Going back offshore Wednesday so while I'm away I'll see what is happening around the coast and see if we can't at least get one weekend out when I come back.
Trev.

Just had another go following the previous advice, and hey presto it works, albeit with the hazards on. As said previously hazards need to be on and you can raise and lower til' your hearts content and yes the compressor does kick in with the engine off. this will make hooking up to my caravan so much easier. Anyway....back to that old seasonal topic FBH  has anyone in the UK had theirs on yet this month ! we havent quite managed below 6 degrees yet in Yorkshire !

You could always remove the fuse for the indicators overnight....if you could contort your  hand enough to do so of course  Still, you wouldn't need a fake ghoulish hand to scare the kids with afterwards Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

I'm the coast side of yorkshire and have had the FBH on once. IMO it comes on below 5 not 6 degrees (the same temp that you get the snowflake icon).
I have the parts to do the remote mod so that's next for me.
