Hi, hopefully someone can help. I have just recently gone back to RRS 2.7 Diesel and the suspension warning light is coming on. It flashes for a second saying something like "don't drive above 30mph". It flashes for a second and goes off. Nothing happens, doesn't lower or go to limp home mode.

Hi, just to add, I was leaving my rugby club, started engine and the red suspension light came on and it felt as if the rear back left corner raised a little and went back to normal. Light was off, drove home about 6 miles and all ok.........not sure whats happening but want to try and get to the bottom of it before something seriously goes wrong, ta again. 2017 Range Rover Sport HSE |

Hi Peachy, just been for a drive monitoring the TV screen in 4x4 mode and I think I have an issue with the rear height sensor (I think!) when watching the screen the rear passenger looks to have a bit more movement than the others and then it will suddenly show as bottoming out, drops and the red minus sign flashes on the screen. Then a couple of seconds goes back to normal. When I go out and actually look at the wheel it is at normal height.

The trouble with those compressors is that there are so many stories on this site which have resulted in many different faults & fixes all around the EAS.The obvious route is to have your fault codes read & then take it from there. Hopefully it's a quick cheap fix. My compressor was on its way out when I purchased my RRS but being a novice I didn't know what was going on. It gradually got worse & my neighbour who is a RAC technician plugged in his box of tricks. We went straight for a new compressor. Whilst removing the old one we could see it was already refurbished. The compressor got noisier & louder has it started to fail more often. It's been 2 years now & you can hardly hear the new one working.

Hi Peachy, I will get it to my buddy and get him to read the faults codes. By the looks of things it may well just be the sensor that is at fault but I defo have an issue with the compressor, if you say you cant hear it since you got a new one, so will get them booth done.

To be honest - never looked at changing the sensor - but the compressor if your mechanically minded is a relatively easy job. Take your time & be careful not to break the bracket it is cast so therefore pretty brittle. I believe there is a new make of compressor now that is far superior - the experts will be along in a bit to confirm or advise on the sensor.
