| Suspension not sitting level after parked overnight |
|
Good afternoon all, 1st post. I have an issue with my Disco, everything is ok with the air suspension it lifts ok and goes to all the levels with no issues, but once parked and left over night the OSR dips and is way lower than the rest of the car?
Any ideas before I send it off to the stealers?

Quite often, it is the valves leaking rather than the suspension unit themselves. I've never had an issue with mine so I can't provide any more details, but it's a fairly common issue.

or faulty height sensors, or compressor leak, or air suspension needs recalibrating or all of the aforementioned, best get it in to yer LR dealer

Cheers for the replies gents, Bodsy has kindly offered to pop over with his Faultmate and have a gander at some point.
I thought it could be something like a leaky valve or alike but I was also concerned it could be something more drastic like compressor or sensors etc. So hopefully this will point me in the right direction before sending it off.
Thanks again, as soon as I know more I'll post what I find out, just for reference.
cheers
Dave.

Hello brothers-in-arms
I am doing some diagnostics on my deflating suspension.
Here ara few questions:
How does low Outside Air Temperature affects deflating suspension (my problem occured in winter)
When I park the car uphill rear suspension drops more than front. When the car is parked downhill the situation is reversed (front suspension drop).
I did the driver suspension diagnostic: I took out all suspension fuses and a relay (relay R7, fuse F3(5A), F26 (20A), FL10 (60A)) overnight and the car acts as I mentioned above. The terrain here around is not leveled so I can not try this on level ground. I judge the slope to be 5-10%.
Rok It is difficult owning a D3, but not owning it (once you had) it is even harder.

My suspension is also dropping about 1-1.5 inches after 48 Hours, now the outside temperature is minus 10 Degrees. The car is equally lowered on all corners. Is this normal?

Mees,
1 1/2" in 48 hours is with this low temperatures not a sign of problems. Specially not if it lowers more or less the same amount at all corners. Roel

No we never found the root cause im afraid, and then strangely it went away after a few days it was very strange.
