Quick update: my solution (swapping dryer) didn't solve it after all. I got the message again. Since I still have the Hitachi compressor I wonder if it might be the ride sensors.

I don't have a code scanner, so perhaps I am off to the shop.

A really helpful read as my 08 L322 suspension is behaving in exactly the same way. Great pointer for me to discuss with the indi tomorrow (who to be fair will probably be all over this!)

Of course! A simple fix; a new front drivers side suspension strut owing to a leak / split in the old one. Essentially the compressor was working overtime to keep the system full of air owing to the leak and shutting down when it got a bit hot. All good now.

Thanks for the update. Was your front corner sinking overnight? Still trying to get to the bottom of my issue - intermittent faults are the worst! 2011MY 4.4TDV8 Autobiography Baltic Blue

The whole car would sink when stationary and engine off, not just that corner, presumably owing to all the air in the system escaping via the split.

Suspension problem

I have the same suspension problem, can you send me detail of your repair guy

I did get it fixed eventually thank you.

Even though it was still under warranty I finally gave up on the garage I bought it from + the main dealer who they were sending the vehicle to in order to try and source the fault. Was costing me huge amounts of time and causing endless hassle as never knew when the suspension would start acting up and leave me stranded far from home.

Went to an independent Land Rover specialist who within an hour had identified the possible causes, which were:
1. Software may not have updated when the suspension compressor pump was replaced thus causing the pump exhaust valve to stay open and deflate the system. Apparently it is common for those installing new pumps to forget or not know this is required. So they updated the software and that solved problem number one.
2. Compressor pump was still running unnecessarily, thus overheating, and cutting out altogether. This was shown to be caused by a faulty front right side height sensor. The garage replaced both front height sensors and that was problem solved thank God.

All I can say from my experience here in Ireland is that you need to find yourself a garage who has the knowledge to find and fix the faults in these vehicles.

In hindsight I can't believe how clueless the mechanics at the main dealer were.

Eventually got to the root cause of my 'cross-articulation algorithm' fault - replacing the n/s/r height sensor has done the trick. Odd that it did not come up with a specific height sensor fault code though. 2011MY 4.4TDV8 Autobiography Baltic Blue
