I reckon I am about to have my compressor replaced after the dreaded "Suspension Fault – Normal Height Only" display and the car now about 2mm from the floor and driving like a bone shaker.

Its out of warranty and my garage who I always use for my cars once they are out of warranty will do the work but is there any way that they can do the required software update after replacing the compressor as outlined below?

Weak Compressor: An official Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) LS-204-004 addresses "ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION (EAS) WARNING MESSAGE AND LAMP ILLUMINATION". This deals with the warning message "Suspension Fault – Normal Height Only" message appearing with the Air Suspension Warning Lamp on.

Computer diagnosis shows pressure increasing too slowly or unable to pressurize, with no air leaks. The usual problem is the compressor exhaust valve sticking, causing an internal air leak when the compressor is active. The bulletin recommends renewing the air compressor (RQG500090 is the latest specification air compressor with a stronger exhaust valve return spring)and installing and updating the air suspension control module software using WDS disc 13 or later.

Had the dreaded message on the old Sport and it was a new Air Compressor requirement. That said in OZ they did not go for the "LR supplied one" but an OEM version.. total cost for me was 850 Aussie Dollars (well Allianz extended warranty Insurance)..

After the Suspension fault message, you may get "special Programmes not available" Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Hi mate, Thanks for the reply and yes, already had that message

What I want to know is if its possible for anyone other than LR to do the software update - anyone?

Worst case scenario if I have to have it done by the stealers - how much will that cost? Best Wishes

Software updates are only done by the dealer mate. It all depends how long it will take. I think dealers charge by the half hour. Ask dealer that you use there hourly rate. Good luck.

replacing the whole thing was all that could cure my lean when parking problem

GIB 984 I don't know how far you are from these guys, but they sorted my suspension faults last winter. New compressor fitted and suspension reset at a fraction of the cost of a main stealer.
