Hi, Ive just picked up my FFRR an 03 td6 hse. When i picked it up all was well until I decided to have a play with the buttons. The problem now is my front suspension is alot lower and the rear is higher. It was level before this. Ive book it in to be looked at monday morning. But Pleeeeeeeeease could I have some help as what might be the problem.

Cheers

You have a compressor and air bags (don't think there called that) that inflate so probably issue with either of these.

You tried raising or lowering the ride height? Any errors on dash?

If you have been pressing the height button repeatedly you may have overheated compressor so leave it for a while disconnect battery leave for 10 mins and reconnect . Then try again . If height button used too much in succession it goes into a safe mode to stop overheating might be the cause. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

The only thing on display is the usual suspension inactive and 35mph or something. There no light on for the button which operates the hights. Sorry if this is vague. Cheers Olly

Could of just overheated the compressor. Give it a bit to cool down and try again. What height does it think its at? Also remember all doers need to be closed for it to work.

Disconnect the battery for ten mins, then reconnect, start the car turn the steering from full lock left to full lock right (resets some systems) then allow the car to run for 5 mins then raise the car to either normal height or if too high lower it first to park mode... Then raise to normal height... Only when its achieved normal height would i attempt off road height...

That maybe one possibilty. Ive also tried with all the doors shut and still have no light on for the height functions just in the same position of the front lower and back still up.

Light on button to change height means auto height adjust is disabled so you don't want that on. You got light in one of the height modes or none lit up?

Theres no lights on at all olly, :roll:

You wont get any lights till you do a battery reset!!!

OK cheers Craig I will try this. As I say Im a complete newbie and still finding my feet in FFRR.

If you have an Air Suspension Inactive message and no orange lights on the height indicator then the system has logged a fault and won't now try to run the compressor or any part of the suspension system until the fault code is reset. If you have the kit (IID tool, RSW Allcomms etc), it's a 30 second job to read and reset the code; without the kit you can't do it. No amount of disconnecting the battery will help.

When the fault is read you need to consider what it is that has caused the fault to be logged in the first place. If the front suspension struts haven't been replaced, there is a good chance the rubber has perished and they're no longer holding air. If that happens, the compressor is put under considerable stress desperately trying to keep the pressure topped up. It should only run occasionally for short periods under normal use. Replacing the front struts is pretty straightforward, though they cost a good few quid to buy - Island 4x4 was the cheapest I could find and their service was excellent. Replacing the compressor is an OK job, but there is information here about refurbing them if you're paying yourself.

Good luck and welcome to the joys of Solihull reliability! Current: 2010 Range Rover L322
