Default SDD Path to suspension calibration

I have once before been able to run SDD to adjust the suspension levels.
I have a need again to visit that area for a buddies XJ8L that is uneven and cannot for the life of me find where in SDD I can do the suspension calibration.
I have looked in two version V125 and V130, and both look the same. ( I did not expect much difference)
I tried the Service functions, Diagnostics, dealer options, predelivery to no avail.
Was able to run the suspension module programming successfully but that did not include level setting.

Anyone know the exact screens and menu path for the required access?
Thanks in advance.

After this I will have an official JLW DREWTECH Mongoose adapter for sale if anyone will be interested.

I see that you solved this.
But I will use your thread to see if anyone have solution for my problem.
When doing the suspension calibration I get an error on the last step after all the mesurements input and I wonder if anyone have encountered this.
The error says the following:
Failed to calibrate the air suspension unit

System faults logged
Please re-attempt calibration considering the following:
The vehicle must be on flat, level ground
Measurements must be made using tool number 204-484
Measurements must be entered in millimeters

The car is on a level surface and connected to a charger when I do this. I use the original height subtracted for my wanted lowering when entering into the system.

The message is telling you that you cannot complete the calibration if there are faults existing ---you have to check the DTCs and FIX them before attempting to calibrate.

I have not yet run the adjustments and will do this weekend and let you know.
I suggest that you try entering the actual rather than the offset amount and see if they are accepted and then try a smaller offset. I think it might look at the offset from nominal and say that Delta is too great.

Thanks for reply.
With regards to dtc, yes there is some but I cannot get them away, they are such as seat heating calibration or something and something with fuel delivery. Looks like old ones but cannot get them away.
Besides that there is not other dtc and the car is working flawless.

I tried lowering only 5mm as well and got the same error
