I suspect that the left rear airspring has a bad leak and the vehicle is pivoting on the left front and right rear making the right front high. |

Have a look on the 4x4 info screen, see if the line under any of the wheels is flashing red.

Hi David and Graeme, thanks for your input, I don't think it is an airbag, both bags still have air in them albeit not enough to lift the vehicle, there doesn't seem to be a connection between the front and rear axle, the front goes up and down (but does want to be in extended mode) the rear doesn't move at all. All four sensors are pointing the right way, no obvious loose wires or such, battery has 12.7V compressor switches off when the tank is full, drilled a hole in the sintered filter, tried a battery disconnect, jacked up one side but nothing seems to get the rear to lift, almost like a physical blockage is preventing it from moving.

One of ours did the exact same thing a short while ago, turned out to be a failed rear height sensor. Not saying that's definitely your problem, but it was ours. Hope you get sorted. Drives:

If you are getting full air pressure at the tank and the back will not lift at all it sounds like the air is not being allowed through the rear valve block, as in other posts, possibly caused by a dodgy height sensor?. On the rear valve block, slacken the tubing, find out if air is getting to the valve block and if any air is coming out of the two tubes from the block valve ( distributor valve ) Have a look at the wiring.

I have jacked the car up at the rear and I now have a faulty sensor reading on the 4x4 screen for the N/S height sensor, this might well be the cause of the confused fattie.. I will see if I can find some info about testing the sensor on the bench to verify it's failing but I will still check the rear valve block for it's functioning. thanks for all the help so far.

Well, installed the new height sensor, noticed a crack in a wheel, bought Ipad for use with IID, does not work, too old, cannot update IOS. Don't despair, download Apple app onto laptop and setup and update, Ah, app does not work on laptop, try Google apps, same problem, load app on OH Ipad, well at least that bit worked, Sadly Ipad does not have a sim card so won't work in the garage, no problem, take car out of garage, nearly drive into the kitchen and connection works. Plug in IID, ignition on, connect Ipad wirelessly, it works. Register IID to vehicle, login to app, nah, I don't think so, the right hand side of the secreen can't login because the email and login are already taken, the left hand side of the screen doesn't like what it sees and tries to login, no idea what it wants but I have had enough of it, after 3 hours trying to conect to the damn thing I need some food, a long walk and to calm down before I shoot something.

Finally done it, registered the IID in offline mode, that has worked.

Yes it was, after installing the new sensor everything went back to normal.
