Just brought home a 2005 HSE for the wife and have a question.

The front passengers corner seems to ride about 5/8" lower that the other 3. It does this in Access, Normal and Off Road. Holds position over night, so I don't think is a leak. No fault codes. Current on recalls.

Height sensor? Needs to be calibrated?

Any ideas are appreciated...

 

Could be a calibration issue, yes. If it were a sensor I'd think you'd get a fault.

 

The Ride Level Module has the ability to adjust an individual corner, via the cornering valve, so its simply out of calibration or is getting bad info from a sensor. Its not unusual for a sensor to give issue, but I would try a calibration first, before hanging any parts on it.

Its rare when I see a Rover come through the shop with it identical on both sides. +/- a few mm is OK. Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle is in motion, your behind the wheel which will make the left side drop down a little bit.

 

Thanks Tech.

Im new to this. Calibration = Trip to the dealer?

 

The dealer can do it, but some indy shops can as well. There is a post floating around that has a list of indy shops by state, you might be able to find one near you.
Also try LRShops.com, its another locator service. Hopefully, anybody who claims to be a LR specialty shop, can do it. Call first and ask questions!

 

...also YOU could do it (in the future), if you buy an IIDTool from GAP Diagnostics. They are invaluable.

 

I'm tempted to get one, they are about $350 if you get them from the UK. They are about $550 in the US.... but I'm hoping that Blackbox gets their software updated soon for the nanocom. They are working on that right now supposedly. Hopefully I can just buy a license for less than $350.
