Hi Folks

My 2009 pre facelift 3.6 TDV8 (AKA Roy) is coming up with suspension error message and is riding on its bump stops ( more like bump starts than stops)
I assumed it was one of the air bags but when you start the car there sounds like there is air leaking inside the cabin. The AC is off and so is the AC fan.
Can anyone tell me if there an air line attached to the suspension some where in the cabin? I can not hear any leaks outside of the cabin
Thanks for any help with this

Damien

Did you try searching ?

There's loads of suspension threads

The air suspension compressor is in the boot under the spare wheel - is it that you can hear ?

If you're getting a specific message, then try searching for that.[/url]

it sounds like it is near the gear shift/dashboard area not from the back

Thanks

Damien

Locating the source of a noise from inside the cabin is almost impossible. What is the message on the dash?

I'd start by checking the compressor/air supply unit, but if you are hearing a noise from the front there is a cross-link valve at the front behind one of the wheel arch covers which might be relevant. Apparently it is a hassle to get at. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Re cross link valve:

It is in FR wheelarch by the mudguard. You can "peel back" the inner wheel arch to gain access without having to take the whole thing off.

Mine did this because of faulty height sensor.

I dont understand this 'search' guys.

Not everyone is on here 24x7 waiting to answer your questions - some of the most knowledgeable people may not even still be active members.....

The most effective use of this forum is to search for similar issues people have had - if you can't find an answer, post as specifically as you can - what is the exact message, what have you tried & ruled out etc.

It's very hard to diagnose vague problems remotely

We all try to help and mostly get ideas.
