Hey all, glad to be here.
I just purchased a 2008 LR3 SE in Tonga green with 65k on the clock.

The truck has a full service history, oxmoor rear seat covers, hitch assembly, PO installed a garmin and backup camera, and left me with an iCarSoft diagnostic tool.

Love the truck.
Been looking for the right one for months.

The truck is in truly immaculate condition by all outward appearances, however on my drive home I got a suspension fault.

Ran the codes when i got home --- got C1131 and C1A20
Looks like I might need to replace the compressor, or at the very least clean the dryer, and/or repair a crack in the cap fitting.
Not really sure yet, will dig in soon to figure it out.

That is a huge bummer for me, but looking through the service history I have not seen any listed repairs to the suspension, so I have to assume it's the original compressor. It makes sense to me that it would begin to fail after 8 years.

Regardless of this small hiccup, I love the truck, and my wife and 2 year old son love it.

I'm cautiously optimistic about it, albeit a bit nervous.
Of course I've read all manner of rover horror stories.
Hoping this one doesn't bankrupt me.

Anyways, glad to be here guys, and looking forward to learning more about these trucks from you guys (and gals).
