United Kingdom 2004 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Adriatic Blue
New to forum -Battery problems and Air Suspension Inactive.

Hello,
First of all I am new to this, so not sure what to do and how it works. So please be kind if I am doing something wrong.
I have a 2004 4.4v8 lpg vogue, have had it one month love it to bits but electronics starting to frustrate me. A week ago the centre console said 'Air Suspension Inactive'. I have noticed the front passenger side does go down slowly. Is this causing that message? It wont let me lower or raise the suspension. Will a weak battery cause suspension problems? when i put a meter across the battery with the engine off it's only reading 12.2 volts where it sould be 12.6V.

Any help or ideas? Thank you Oli
Ps. Also when ever starting the RR it bleeps really loud after about twenty seconds, is this the telephone/bluetooth or what??

Sounds like you have a leak in the air bag

For whatever reason you battery at 12.2V is only 50% charged.
Try charging the battery and see what happens.
Could be the battery on it's way out.

As mentioned, sounds like an air bag. If you're handy with the spanners, there is a good 'how to' in the wiki, and it isn't a hard job. Parts will run to about £220 per side - do them both at the same time. You're battery also sounds like it is on the way out, which can cause all sorts of errors and faults. The beeping sound is probably the reminder that you have an active fault that needs attention.

Cheers - Gav

Cheers Gav,

have replaced air bag, and cleared faults with a computer. At the moment it is staying up now Very Happy , Have also found a bluetooth phone system, that is what the loud bleep is on start up. will monitor battery for now.
