Suspension question

I've noticed on my tdv8 that when raising the ride height the back of the vehicle seems to go up a lot quicker than the front. Is this a potential problem?

Thanks

Is that not because the front has a big lump under the bonnet Smile

The RRS seems to have a totally different characteristic to the D3 when changing the susp height, like you say the D3 just sort of goes up whereas the Sport sort of gathers it's thoughts then sends air to each corner willy nilly.

Whistle No comment... But I doubt it. How old is your car? If it's still under M W I'd just book it in to dealer. Smile

No, actually never been s fan of them. Cost of repairs versus warranty. They are good for peace of mind but at the end of the day it has to work out more expensive otherwise the warranty companies wouldn't make any money. Instead I use independent specialists. They are often ex LR and tend to know a hell of a lot more than most of the main dealer monkeys.

Only time I did was when I had a maserati. Now if, no when, they go wrong you are in a world of hurt. Took it in for a slight noise from the gearbox, cost nearly £3,000. I'm back with Land Rover
