Guys,
I just had my rear brake pipes fixed but now the car sinks down at the front (slowly) and of course I get the "Suspension Fault" error and "Normal Ride Height Selected" it does in fact go back to normal height and drives fine but I suspect there is something else to spend my money on - ideas?

I have has the occasional "Suspension Fault" before when traversing rough ground but it has always cleared. The car has done almost 130,000 miles. Geoff

It’s time to take the “Running In Please pass” sticker out of the back window now, or am I showing my age?. 🚔🚔🚔 G reg 2.5VM Vogue Portofino red 1991- 1999

Seems to be sorted, their Autologic said same as my IDTool - rear nearside height sensor - swapped it for a new one and now transmission fault gone. Geoff

This is interesting, and grateful thanks to super shuttle and Stan for pointing the way to what the cause of my air suspension failure might be.

My Vogue MY2002 with just 65,000 miles on the clock and which I have owned for 13 years was returned to me by my local Main Dealer after having the front brake pipes replaced with the Air Suspension now totally inactive. Only cost me £1400 and me being fool, I thought the similar amount I paid for them to replace the brake pipes last year covered both front and rear. The MOT that was done by the MD while the car was with them for three months and one day in 2017 appeared to have missed the corroded front brake pipes!

Sorry having bit of a rant, it a long story as to why I had to use a LR MD in the first place

The Air Suspension appeared to be working fine when the car was delivered to their care but the "helpful" vehicle video health check identified a possible fault with the nearside front air spring which required further investigation.

The fault what ever it was, didn't appear to stop the air springs doing their job before but on picking up the car I got the Inactive Air Sus message and thought that the usual fix of turning the steering wheel lock to lock would clear it. It didn't.

Now permanently at access height and no lights on the switch.

The car has been back with the MD for five days now. I'm told a "hard re-set" might do the trick but they don't seem to know what this is and they are not interested other than taking another four figure sum from my bank account. I've not even had the courtesy of a phone call to update me as to what has caused this and what the solution might be.

It seems that nowadays its quite acceptable to return a vehicle with a major fault that did not exist before and this is classed as good customer service.

I've given up with them and will try and find a competent independent, (I've used Gratech in Heybridge, Essex in the past) to check the air springs and height sensors in case the MD has also disturbed other components in carrying out the repairs to the brakes.

If I have to replace an airspring or several, Delphi or Arnott appear to be reasonable replacements and much cheaper than LR branded units unless Dan can do a deal.
Thanks for listening, rant over! Peter Kemp

Hi I took my L322 td6 05 in to get a new airbag on offside front after picking it up have noticed it seems to be permanently in off road height yet it says standard-height according to the light tried to lower it it lowers to access height was working fine before the new air bag any suggestions will it be mega bucks to fix thanks in advance

Hi DG17,

Sorry to hear of your air suspension problems.

There's a new topic posted today, "Suspension Woes" which pinpoints possible sensor issues for these suspension height variations. Supershuttle appear to have solved his problem by refitting a sensor as mentioned in his earlier post. Worth checking them and the wiring out I would think.

The Land Rover MD who has my car is still investigating why its showing the Air Suspension Inactive message and agrees that what ever fault existed was present when the car was taken in for an oil leak to be repaired and the air suspension at that time appeared to be working perfectly.

They have said however, that if an air spring needs replacing, they are prepared to fit aftermarket parts in place of LR branded. That must be a first for a LR Main Dealer and this should save me a lot of money.

Another plus, they discovered why the rocker box gaskets keep failing. Increased crankcase pressure due to collapsed rubber pipework to the PCV. Something I told them could be a possible cause after seeing the write up in the Wiki.

Feeling a bit more positive about owning a FFRR now, until of course the next thing goes wrong!

Please let me know if you manage to trace the cause of your suspension height problems. Peter Kemp

Thanks PSG’s will have a look at the sensors and wires will let you know the outcome
