Hi all

I had a suspension fault come up on the jeep today, 2005 supercharged. Red warning light with two arrows on top and one inside the logo pointing down. Flash message said turn off ignition, done that and it cleared.

However tonight when I got home I checked j set the bonnet and the fluid level is below minimum on the reservoir with the same logo jeep with the arrows above. What fluid do I use to top this up again?

It was bought from a dealer with six mo this warranty, only bought last week so have also emailed them and will ring in the morning as the last thing I need are suspension faults it's only over a week old .

In the meantime hopefully if I top up the fluid this may help temporarily?

Hi

2005 Supercharged Land Rover Range Rover

Logo - Jeep shape with two arrows above it one going left one going right

It has a 6 month warranty from the dealer we bought it from, I emailed them last night as we have only had the car just over a week.

BTW it's not a jeep nor a truck.[/quote]

What do you mean its not a jeep?

He means a Jeep is a Jeep and a Land Rover is a Land Rover. Americans like to refer them as jeeps, trucks, rovers, but they're all wrong!
Get onto the dealer, its their responsibility to fix it, the warranty is more for their benefit than yours.
Not sure what cap has the LR logo on but of its at the front behind the light it could get very expensive. But as I say, its the dealers responsibility to fix the car.

Yeah rang dealer this morning they said it would have to be left down to them and they would have their mechanic repair it. I just clarified that it was under warranty and he confirmed that it is, last thing I need on the mouth of Christmas is an unexpected bill.

The yellow cap is on a fluid reservoir, it has a shape of a "jeep" on it with the two arrows pointing each way on the roof. The same symbol that is coming up on the dash to warn of suspension fault. The liquid level in that is well below minimum so I am guessing there is a leak from it and perhaps not a suspension fault as such in relation to the air suspension.

Jeez I couldnt be told not to go for a Range Rover really really wanted one now I see why people were trying to put me off

Active Anti roll bar fault.

They are taking the LR on Thursday to repair. There are a few little other niggles too they are going to look at. He said it could be something as simple as dirt around sensors on the rear or even when it was being washed they said power hose could touch them. Although in fairness it is sitting a little off on the passenger rear side arch when parked, it sits about 1-1.5cm lower than driver side rear arch.

The icon of what you term a jeep on the filler cap is the universal icon for an SUV............... If you have it, on your remote opener for the rear hatch there may be an icon of a saloon car with it's boot open, doesn't make the car a saloon car!! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The logo and the yellow cap you refer to are for the dynamic response system. It's a pair of hydraulically adjusted anti roll bars. It allows a soft response at low speed and a firm one at high speed for stability. It's effective but can be prone to problems with age. It's the garage's responsibility to sort it so don't worry.

People advise against the brand but they've never enjoyed the good things. The comfort, the go anywhere ability, the towing capability etc. The chaps in the Disco3 forum refer to it as "perma-grin" and I think that's a good description.

Get it sorted and then enjoy driving it.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Typhoo, there really is nothing to worry about or be panicked. These cars have so much equipment on them that some things do fail from time to time. You have a warranty, the garage has agreed to sort it so no worries. Just make sure you purchase another warranty ( from a reputable company ) before the existing runs out and you can calm down and just enjoy driving these great cars.
And the likes of people trying to put you off were probably from the BMW, Audi, Porsche fraternity. They also fail as well.
These cars are fantastic, I'm on my 4th and there are not many cars that you can drive all over the countryside, literally, then pound across Europe, which I've done many times and then wash them off and pull up outside some swanky hotel in Monaco and not look out of place
