Set off from Dunfermline at 4.00pm this afternoon hoping to be home for about 9.15,got to Coldstream when the suspension fail warning light came on in the middle of nowhere,came on intermittently changing from orange to red and occasionally going off all the way home to Sheffield,just got in,at times it was like riding a kangaroo.

I had this on the D3, LR assist came out, took it away and replaced the compressor and the compressor sensor. Speed Limits! not where I live!

Just got it back seems the height sensor was faulty and was false sensing and trying to raise the suspension which was conflicting with the +30mph sensor which was trying to force it back down,hence the compressor and valves were working full time and overheating.New height sensor fitted and now working OK again.

You should have called in for coffee, I live near that joy of a road ![]() Been there doing 50mph with the caravan in tow is bad enough, but at 30mph it must have been a nightmare ![]() |

Good to know it was just a faulty sensor however, LR has introduced new improved height sensors.. http://www.rrsport.co.uk/gallery/albums/us...ations.pdf ..check to see if your vehicle qualifies and if it does, did they fit this?

I've got a RRS HSE TDV8 (MY08) and this has just happened to me (last night) currently RR-less as car on a low loader being taken to the garage later this morning, LandRover assist has arranged for a Disco to be brought over some time this morning. Hope it's not going to be a recurring problem |

dealer had to replace all 4 sensors, good news was they were in stock and got the car back the next day....downloaded the release from the link in this thread and it seems that there's a problem. One question, anyone know why they had to do a 22 mile roadtest? Seems a long way. |
