i know this topic has been covered many many many times however this is more of a double check for me before I spend some cash.
I only started to look at this as when fully loaded 3 people and a shed load of kit the light on the dash dropped to low, car was still at neutral. I then started to struggle to get into h as I started doing a few green lanes, if I get out and close the door the. Press the button the vehicle will raise to h (I am 95kgs, so not that massive before you lot jump in with eat less cake). I replaced all the fluid and did a flush (though I bought the wrong replacement bleed nipples. If someone can tell me the correct size next time I do it I will replace the corroded old ones)
So I finally managed to get Techstream and my mvci to work and interface, talk about nightmare job on 64b windows 10, not a job I ever want to have to redo. Thanks @uHu, though not fully helpful a few bits were.
I took some measurements of H and N positions centre of cap to top of wheel arch. As follows (right hand drive) in mm, I went from n to l, back to n then took n readings and then to h and took h readings
OSF 523(h) 485(n)
NSF 543 (h) 510(n)
OSR 550 (h) 510(n)
NSR 555(h) 520(n)
So I am concluding that my drivers side TB needs cranking clockwise to bring it level with the NSF
There is a fair bit of additional weight (drawers, RTT, auxbattery etc). Below are the Techstream pressures and heights
Due to rear pressures I was going to swap my rear springs for the King-79’s as I also doubt they have been touched since 2001.

Have I diagnosed correctly?
