Discovery 3 Air suspension compressor |
|
Hi all, had issues with my Disco 3 with compressor, so got it replaced by a Dunlop one. Made sure the mechanic checked for any leaks after fitting, all was well & no leaks I was told, but noticed a slight dip on drivers side of about 1 inch compare to passenger side.....he said the shockers may need replacing. Now after driving at normal height it sometimes dips forward whilst driving at times then I can feel it bounces a little too.. Does the cars height need to be calibrated, or is it that the compressor is faulty?, there doesn't seem to be any warning lights showing on dashboard, so what could the issue be of not staying upright on normal height setting. I kept it at normal height overnight, but day after it dropped a little. Also what height should the car be on normal height setting from centre of wheel to the arch overall. Would appreciate your feedback, thanks Pradeep.

Mine turned out to be a leaking suspension strut. Id sprayed them with soapy water which didn’t actually reveal the problem…….but then I could hear a faint hiss of escaping air on the front right corner. I’d previously changed the valve block so I guessed it had to be the air strut…….it was!

Calibration of the suspension is very easy if you have an IID, takes a few minutes
Front 466mm
Rear 485mm
Measured from the centre of the wheel to the top of the wheel arch
