Hissing noise

I have just noticed a hissing sound on my Discovery V8 ESyear 2000 model. The soundappears after every 10-12 seconds. It is louder when heard from outside of the vehicle.

Please advise what it could be.

Thanks.

RE: Hissing noise

Where do you hear it coming from, do you have rear air suspension? When do you usually hear it?

RE: Hissing noise

It appears from the front, not sure if from the left or right. I have heard it when stationary in all gears (automatic),it may be there when the vehicle is moving, but road and engine noise may be suppressing it.

RE: Hissing noise

You are going to have to crawl under the truck, get a little dirty and be alot more specific as to the location of the noise, if you want to get some positive help from us.

Ive heard it too, but I believe it's just the air suspension working.

Could be wrong, but please do, let us know where you hear it :]

Happy Rovering!

Not the air suspension, cause I had it, ditched the SLS as soon as I could, and still have it. Was told by Dealer, that it is the ACE pump reassessing its position, or something like that.
