Afternoon all,

I have a 2008 RRS HSE V8. It's been playing up a bit lately. Driving around its fine, but when I park up, turn the engine off, lock and walk away I notice the offside rear corner is much lower than the rest of the car. It doesn't always do it, only sometimes.

When it does happen, it makes no difference to which high selection I have set, that corner of the car is sill lower than the rest of the car.

Any ideas?

I've had the height sensor changed, which made no difference and there doesn't appear to be any air leaks from the spring.

Does it drive level? RRS gone

As daft as it may sound could be another sensor causing it LRA logged on to one of my RRS's to look at which corner was faulty when I had the magic carpet experience....

As Maw said... I'd look at another sensor causing the issue... and by using the EASControl you're not really solving the prob, just covering the symptoms... RRS gone

4x4 info will tel l you if there is an issue with one of the sensors , could just nee recalibartaed mate, get it into a dealer or specialist

It drives level. I checked the 4x4 info screen and the back offside where the issue is reports fine, no flashing red light etc but oddly when the suspension is set in the lower mode the front offside flashes red so maybe that's causing it somehow.

It's in at Brown Church now getting looked at, but I'm not sure they are any closer to sorting it! (they've already changed the height senor)

Thanks,

Jon

Yes, all fine when its in normal or high mode per se, the red light only flashes on the front offside when it's in the lower suspension mode and the rear only drips when its parked, and only sometimes. Odd. Getting it looked at again today.

I've just got off the phone to Brown Church. They've tried everything and the car doesn't sink on the offside rear like it has been with me from time to time. They disconnected the battery and all four corners stayed the same height, they connected the Auto Logic and nothing came up, they checked to make sure the spring wasn't leaking, all came back ok..... Really odd

Hi
I had exactly the same problem with my car, needed the sensor changing and a new compressor.

What senor did you have changed and what would a new compressor do?

Thanks,

Jon

The sensor was the frount drivers side, car was down at the back driver side. Put the car in to Guy Salmon and they said it needed a new compressor as per diagnos as well as new sensor. I dont know the exact problem with the compressor.
