Kenny - those are the pre-programmed reference heights and cannot be changed. They are set at the factory and will be the same for the 4 cylinder estates at least:

The initial heights are heights (front / rear) which are "hard" stored in the ECU, these heights do not change and cannot be modified.
These heights are equal to 128 steps at the front and 120 steps at the rear and serve as a reference until the reference heights programming procedure has been carried out.

Okay thanks Marc,

Because my suspension was so far out prior to fixing the wishbones, I carried out the Citroen recommended way of setting the height ie ignition on and move the collar adjuster on the ARB until the correct height was obtained.

After that I measured the required heights at the front and got the following FNS 160mm FOS 162mm. Reference height 160mm+/- 6mm well within 130 - 190mm tolerance.

So I will leave at that.

Thanks again.
