If you raise and lower the suspension repeatedly in a short period of time then you will get this message ...you just need to give it time to get back to a happy temp  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Unless you have worked it really hard it sounds like mud has accumulated around the compressor; it will need flushing out.
I think a few on here have made additional or enlarged holes in the compressor cover to encourage the mud out.

| suspension compressor overheating |
|
i have just come back from a trip to Botswana with a new compressor before I left and after some heavy sections of sand I always got an overheating warning and dropped suspension which is very unnerving when you are facing miles of heavy sand Mvubu 2014 Discovery 4 TDV6 XS, Corris Grey.Snorkel, OL Bull Bar, Winch,OME Heavy Duty Coil Springs,Light Guards,17" Black Wheels,Cooper ST max,Dual Battery+Inverter,Drawer Storage,FR Rear Ladder,Hannibal Roof Rack,80L Excel Long Range Fuel Tank,HiLift Jack Points,75L Water Tank.
