United Kingdom 2009 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black
Stuck in Access Mode

Afternoon all,
Picked up the sport a couple of months ago and have already had the compressor changed. I popped it in to access mode and then the suspension light came on again. Turned it off and on again, still there. So I can't get it out of access mode and my garage can't get me in until next Tuesday.

Is there anything I can do to get it out of access mode until then? Or can I drive it for the week without causing any damage?

Gibbro

Welcome to the forum - It's not meant to be driven in access mode for more than a few hundred yards - you will feel every bump & the suspension parts on these motors are notoriously crap - have you tried driving it upto a certain speed - it defaults to normal ride height after a certain speed. What about a hard reset on the battery ? 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Try a hard reset, disconnect the battery cables and touch them together for 20 seconds, then re attach to the battery. Thumbs Up 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

I have driven it up to 40 mph and it still remains in access mode. This makes me think it's going to be the new compressor they fitted. When the key is in the ignition and turned on the light shows from the off. Will try the hard reset though, thanks.

It's more likely to be a height sensor that needs re-calibrating than a fault with the compressor.

That being said, when you start the car can you hear the compressor running up ? (it's next to the passenger back door next to the wheel arch under the car).

Have a look on the 4x4 screen to see if any of the corners are showing different Thumbs Up

Morning guys,

Well the suspension light didn't show on start up this morning so i quickly threw it in to normal mode and got a 'vehicle raising slowly' message. But at least it's back in normal height mode now and the warning light stayed off.

I think the issue is the front nearside, but all looks within level on the 4x4 screen.

I've got it booked in for next week so ready for my pants to be pulled down again.

Vehicle raising slowly might still be down to a dodgy height sensor, but it might be that you have a second issue in that your compressor is weak (the compressor being weak wouldn't cause the other fault).
