First Frost in NJ brings front end down to bump stops!
We just had our first frost in NJ! I noticed if my RR rests for more than a day the EAS has to level things out when I turn the key. Now, since the air dipped below 32 degrees will all R.Rovers EAS systems be effected by the cold air and lower the vehicles more noticably then in warmer climates? I went out to my RR early in the morning and the front end was dipped down to the bump stops. Front bags look new and the rear ones look originals with visable cracks. Rear bags will get replaced asap!
Thanks for any feedback.

I don't have Range Rover, just a Disco which doesn't even have SLS, and in reading through this thread something came to mind. As previously stated, I have no first hand experience, just theory. At 32* water freezes. Is there a drier somewhere in your air suspension system which should be removing moisture from the air? Is it possible that the desiccant in the drier has gone bad, allowing excessive moisture into the lines, compressor, valves, etc, which when temperatures drop, freezes and allow valves to remain open that should be closed?

Well folks we had yet another NJ frost and nothing happened. Now what I have noticed it that the RR will loose air from time to time while parked and now in between starts which are days apart. But it will always rise to the occasion and stay that way while driving. I guess I can drive it this way until the bags no long hold air for the entire ride and then replacements will be ordered from British Atlantic.

Maybe you have opposite of my issue in the summer. For some reason my front passenger door will decide it is open when it is not during hot weather. It is intermittent so it is am annoyance.
If yours does this with the rear hatch when it is cold then the system will go into crawl mode and drop all the way down. It could be doing this when it is cold and you never know it. It could even do it with just about any rear door too. Just a thought.

Rob,
Are you saying the vehicle will slow itself down (crawl mode?) if it feels that the door or tail gate is not closed properly? We had another frost last night and just the front end dropped.
I'm guessing as long as all four bags hold during my travels not to worry. I will order a set of bags since they are showing their age.
