intermitant suspension fault
Hi im new to this iv had a d3 2005 hse for 2 years had new compressor a year ago and all has been ok
(i know iv been lucky , but looks like luck has run out)
intermitant suspension fault normal height only
just had the wiring loom repaired by local garage at the cost of £60 (LR wanted £300) but now a week later got fault back, repaired loom wires checked and are fine. it only comes up with fault when i try to put lever up into off road height, or the car tries to raise a bit after pulling away, but it can stay without a fault sometimes for a whole trip, say 10 miles, any ideas would be most welcome, as i really want to keep loving my d3 but if i cant then i think i will start to fall out of love !!
Thanks

Hi dd,
I think that you'll get much better cooperation from the forum members if you don't behave as an .
Think on it,

Presume that the air intake is where the compressor is.... passenger side rear wheel, just in front of it, look underneath the car and you'll find a plastic cover over it
Not that I've taken mine apart mind... yet...

just had new compressor fitted but now the front is going up slow but the back seems fine , as been told there could be a air filter that could be the cause. it goes up leavel at the front but takes its time and dash says suspension raising slowly .

Others may have had different experiences than me but when ive seen so far on the cars ive fixed, warning "suspension raising slowly" is from my cars experience been a leaking pipe very slightly or a dodgy/inferior compressor.
Did you fit a new genuine compressor ?

Hi dd,
I apologise for my earlier post. I, incorrectly, thought that everyone knew about SHOUTING on forums.
I'm glad that fatboy was more perceptive than I.
Best Wishes,

DD this is written a lot from what I read so I guess a bucket of soapy water on the air pipes / connectors to see if it gives an indication of where !!Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!
