Hi all im a little new to all this.

im experiancing air suspension issues with my 4.6hse range rover. hence im hoping i can get some help from here to repair the problem or at least diagnose it.

i'll try to explain, if i leave the car in the normal road setting the suspension levels to the bump stops and then takes ages to come up some time whacking it over a bump does help to settle things and get it to come up. it always appears to be the rear that takes the time or goes down 1st. however if i park the car (even over night) with it pumped right up it stays up and i can drive away.

once it has been up some times and i mean some times it will go up and down quickly normaly every time i start trying to trace the fault which dont help me!!

ive have the compresser running with out the filter so theres no restriction but that dont help. tried tapping the valves to see if one is stuck but cant see how that would work as if it was the valve surely it would fail on just that one corner?

so help and advise please its a horrid ride with out it

You need to get a mechanic with a good scanner to read the fault codes and go from there, oh and put the filter back on before you trash the pump.

 

mlaws016 - Mike is absolutly correct.
My guess would be rear o-rings on the bags (air springs) are leaking. OR if a person puts it on a frame (service) lift & lifts it off the ground, sometimes the bags will seperate from the pistons. Kind of like a tire bead when you hit a curb.

Unless you're a very competent mechanic, I'd have someone you trust or can sue look at it.

I just did mine & it'snot complicated, but it's definately not for novices (no dis intended)
