Hey all,
I've just acquired a 92 V8 Soarer from a deceased family member. As the car was not driven for over a year it was a long and tedious (not to mention expensive) process to get it back on the road. After 2 months in the workshop, it's back up and running and I have not been happier.
However, there is an aftermarket digital height controller installed in the car which is slightly puzzling me. As can be seen in the picture below, the "Mode" button on the left hand side switches between 3 heights, with "Mode 3" being normal, "Mode 2" being slightly lower, and "Mode 1" being the lowest height. As I don't want the tyres scraping against the guards on poor quality and bumpy roads, I want to be able to raise the vehicle so the car is not as low in "Modes" 2 & 3, but lower than normal height in "Mode 3".
There are 4 arrows on the right hand side of the controller. I've tried pressing all 4 buttons 1 after the other but they seem to not raise or lower the height of the car at all. I was just wandering if anyone on the forum has one of these digital height controllers or knows where I am able to find some information on them.

Cheers,

Chris

Some updated information, as I can't find any manuals or paperwork for this controller. I had a look at the back of it. All it says is "Field DHC '96" and then a 6-digit number. I know Field makes a whole range of Digital Height Controllers but I cant seem to find a website. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Here's their web site:

http://www.field-net.co.jp/lineup/dhc-limited/op.html

I was also after an english manual.

I have a different model to yours. I was able to determine the dip switch settings, but that was the extent of it.

Good luck with their web site.
