Morning Larry,
This sounds like a suspension issue (obviously) what lights have you got on your dash? Anything lit up that isnt usually there?
Welcome Larry - Sorry to hear about your problems.
What year is your RR Sport?
Whereabouts in the lakes are you?

On a D3 the first port of call for this sort of thing is to make sure the battery is fully charged.
NasherHeaven doesn't want me, and hell is afraid I'll take over.

I recently had a very similar issue just before my suspension compressor failed. I would suggest getting it back into "normal" ride height and leaving it there until you can get it checked out.

If you are in off road mode it should automatically lower to normal height when you travel above 25mph, if it will do this remove the fuse for the compressor to get mobile.
More info would help peeps diagnose your problem. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Good idea about removing the fuse ^^^^^ . This will stop the compressor doing anything it shouldnt whilst you get home.

Could do with saying precisely where in the lakes you are - quite a large area....

Have you had any reason to change the suspension height?- if you have the compressor will overheat very easily and give this fault.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

They are probably 30 minutes or so away, c. 15 miles.

^^^^ Likely your best bet. They will have a diognostics machine that wont be VIN locked so can look at any Land Rover Faults.
