Default Suspension / Sunroof Issue

I purchased a off-lease 2006 LR3 in Nov 08 and have had minimal issues until recently. I searched the site and did not see much on these topics so thought I would see if this forum has any ideas before I head off to the dealer or mechanic.

I'm in the Los Angeles area and have typically gone to the dealer, since its out of warranty now I'd like to look at going to an independent. Any recommendations?

Suspension (Access/Normal Only)

I'm able to lower the vehicle but unable to to raise it for off highway mode. I have no fault messages. When in Access mode, the switch does not allow me to raise to Normal. I have to drive and then vehicle raises automatically to Normal.

A few months ago I did noticed that when I would go in off highway mode the front would not raise at the same time. One side took a few seconds longer to level off. Air suspension problem?

Sunroof Stuck in Tilt Mode

The sunroof is stuck and I checked the fuses and found that there are no issues. It seems that it may either be the switch or motor and understand the headliner has to come out to determine what the issue is.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Regarding the sunroof, have you tried a reset? Hold the close button for 20 seconds and the sunroof should spring to life.

The switch is bad, trust me seen it a few times too many. Too many people spill coffee and such on it.

suspension issue could be as easy as a compressor not putting out enough pressure. just did 2 last week for a similar issue. the sunroof needs to recalibrated. if your looking for a shop feel free to give us shout i service plenty of cars from the LA area i actualy have one in the shop right now that got towed in from a dealer. www.ragingbull-performance.com
