Hi There

Question.

Hi Charles. Welcome to the site Very Happy

Yes, it's fine to leave it at access height overnight (or any other period for that matter)

Thanks for that!

I would then also assume that it is normal for the air suspension compressor to run for 20-30 seconds on startup every morning?

Howzit Charles, and welcome.
The compressor seems to run for a little while every time we start the vehicle. I assume this is normal.

Don't tell me you have the farting air-conditioner option too?

I thought it was only for the SA market

Charles - I'm intrigued, are you a bit of a shorty too?

Define shorty? If that would mean 5 foot 6 (1.7) or less, then yes Rolling Eyes

Just thought that nobody would worry much about access mode unless they were a bit vertically challenged like myself (1.76). My dear old mum can't get in the car without access mode. She's about 4ft I think.

Can't say we've ever had issues with the door mirrors, but that damn rear-view mirror is always in the way, even with the seat at its lowest.
Whats the problem you are experiencing- not enough adjustment left/right or is it up/down?
You may want to try a different seat height?

It's left and right movement.

There is a TSB to fix the mirror for vertically challenged people, just have not got around having it done.

The rearview mirror is fine; my seat is set fairly high.

Just grab the mirror housing and push it into the next position in the direction you need to go. Maybe it's not in the correct position?

By the way, have you visited the "africa" subsection yet?
We could do with a bit more fun down there. I think everyone's still on holiday
