Hi car left in garage for a few days with suspension left on Access mode. Jumped in car today and noticed that car took longer than normal and slow to reach normal ride height. Then tried to set it to off road height and got message telling me that suspension was slowly raising then message said suspension will rise when system cools down.

I think the normal height is maintained and car does not seem to drop I have just checked and it seems okay.

I don't think I have a leak so think answer is most likely compressor, If it is compressor is it an easy swap and would you recommend a D.I.Y job? and is compressor located in spare wheel well? If not where is it located. Car is under warranty but its not Range Rover and you know how they always try to wriggle out if they can, although I will pursue warranty avenue.

My car is a 2009 Range Rover TDV8 MY 2010. car is booked into Andy White Independent Edinburgh next Wednesday to get checked out but thought I would get your opinions before hand although I have to say Andy has a great reputation from what I hear.

I would appreciate any advise in advance.

Cheers

It is unlikely to be a leak of the bags as they usually go at some 7 to 8 years I believe (mine went at 7 1/2). It can be one of the hoses that has come off one of the bags, I heard from another FFRR guy on here that it happened to him.

Compressor also seems a bit "early" they seem to last quite a while. The swap is pretty easy but it sounds like it may have overheated due to running to much because of the leak. So lets hope it is just a hose that came off  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

The compressor is in the boot & is very easy to change, but make sure that there is an actual fault before changing.  The reason women's minds are cleaner than a mans mind is that women change their minds more often!
When women say fine a mans in deep doodoo as fine has so many meanings.

Problem solved found a small leak at connection to compressor. Fixed myself took 10 min.
