Air Suspension Release Valve - Our car is farting !
Car just back from the annual service was fine before. Now when cold, the air suspension valve ( I guess ) releases a couple of times in the first few miles until warm, any comments would be helpful ?

Strange, Just that in year one it only ever did this when you were at the end of the journey, after switching the motor off ??

sounds like the exhaust valve upgrade wasn't carried out correctly or some contaminants got into the compressor during the work

Mine can do it on door unlock before a journey, or at the end of journey - can never tell when Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

yep, that's 'normal' what isn't is for it to be audibly farting for the first couple of miles in a journey if the 'i>' is also shown on the dash display, it could be that some of the software hasn't applied correctly - alternatively, it's possible that the air intake ducting has become dislodged from the silencer during the compressor upgrade operation, does the sound appear to come from the left hand rear of the vehicle?

Mine also does it on door unlock, or at end of a journey, and occasionalyy at other times! Reminds me a bit of breathing elephant! Don't put it off, go for it!
