Default Air suspension stuck in access/crawl mode

HELP! I am currently in Conakry, Guinea (west Africa) with my 2000 Range Rover. There are no qualified mechanics here. I cannot get out of the access/crawl mode making it difficult to drive. Any quick fix?

Are there any warning lights on the dash and has it ever done this before, did you recently do anything to the vehicle and how long has it been since you serviced the air suspension? We are going to need more information on the symptoms to start accurately diagnosing. If its a computer issue you could try disconnecting the battery and allowing the car to reset and that might correct it... I'd tell you to take it to a dealership but, yeah. This might be helpful for you if the computer has stopped responding and you want to control the air suspension: http://rangerovers.net/repairdetails...n/suspump.html

Good luck

If the light is blinking on road height and solid on access try keeping the door open with the truck running for about 5 minutes to allow the tank to fill, then close the door press the up arrow to go to extended height, and see if that works for you. I have done this before when mine was stuck in access mode.

No Problem, send some pics of your adventure for those of us stuck in the U.S. post to the Rover forum.
