While it could happen this sounds unlikely.

ALWAYS put the car in max height (off road) setting before jacking and leave the tailgate open.

Opening the tailgate does not stop my car from levelling itself, but keeping a front door open does.

Yes in your case leave front door open but tailgate should do the trick for most |

Ive stripped front legs down what i think has happened is as it was jacked and the wheel and leg extends due to the stifness in the airbag it has pulled itself off the lower mount all that seals on the lower is o rings and the pressure in the bag keeps it atached as its jacked up the shock lower mount has pulled out the bag and the air escapoed and because the fronts are piped together the other side goes down regardless so if u did strip down the side that was jacked i would be shocked if the bag had burst more likely the o rings have ripped from the air forcing past them or maybe just needs reseating on the shock lower mount onto no6 Range Rover

Going back to the original problem, I doubt both airbags have popped. Probably something else has gone that is common to them both. Remember they are cross connected to allow the self levelling to work.

That's a great result, and I must admit, totally unexpected for one as cynical as me! Researching my first Range Rover purchase |
