I trimmed the compressor and it ran for about 2.5 mins, but the suspension had dropped overnight. The following evening I pulled the fuse and the nearside front had dropped quite a but the following evening. I need to redo the test but measure all 4 corners before pulling the fuse then leaving it to see what has changed.

For what it's worth, with new tyres fitted the ride is less harsh. Good luck with your diagnosis. 2005, TDV6 S, Auto, 190k miles, owned from new, V8 Brake Upgrade, Nancom Evo, RLD protector, BAS EGR blanking & Remap, separate ATF cooler, changing all the fluids ahead of time.

Just as an update, I joined the merry band of IIDTool owners. I did a check and the shocks needed a bit of calibration and it seems a bit better.
Going for a longer run tomorrow so fingers crossed the poor handling is a it better. Will still need new shocks as the car has done 160k now but currently have more important things to spend £800 on.

P.S. not sure if anyone can advise me if the car needs to be 100% level when using the guided suspension setup on the IIDTool. |____000_
