air suspension stuck in down position
 
I have a 2002 P38 Range Rover. My right front air shock had a small leak and would quickly inflate once the vehicle started. I went over a speed bump and all the air seemed to go out of my system. The suspension is now down and the vehicle bounces uncontralably. The dash message reads slow: not to exceed 35mph. Have I just blown the right air suspension or could it be relay? Ay help would be appreciated. Thanks

attached a couple of pages on this from the RAVE shop manual, there are certain conditions that trigger that message, and others that use that message plus a second message. Air leaks can be found with a squirt bottle filled with soapy water, the leaks will blow more and larger bubbles.

It could be a number of things. A soapy water spray bottle is now your best friend. I had an exauhst tail pipe break off and it directed the hot gasses to my rear air lines. Lost all air pressure to the rear so it dropped down to the bump stops but the front was in the air. Had to drive home 250 miles through the mountains that way. Not fun at all. Worst trip of my life. hahaha
