Air suspension help

Hi

My 2003 Disco 2 has problems with air suspension. I have replaced the relay and the compressor is working fine. Therefore a problem between the relay and the compressor ? What could it be? A leak in the pipes or more sinister?

Your help would be appreciated

Perhaps a better explanation of your 'problems' might help. And the chances are the same thing has happened to many others before so the search function might answer your querry.

What is the actual problem with the air suspension? What's it doing that it shouldn't do?

It is sitting on it arse ! Sorry for the vague descriptions. The button to raise makes the beep beep noise but back does not rise and there is an occasional orange light which comes on withe the arrow pointing up and down.

I had that. Turned out to be ride height sensor.

Piece of **** to change & only £30.00 ish each. Oh don't forget to disconnect the battery terminal first before commencing work.

jack up the back a bit then try again...and make sure trhat FL9 in engine bay fusebok is ok...and all doors and bonnet well closed

95% of all problems associated with the rear air suspension are caused by leaking air springs and/or faulty ride height sensors.

The very first thing to do however is what Fery said, jack up the back end, ensure all doors are closed and then start the engine via the open drivers window. If it pumps up and stays up it's the ride height sensors.

Replace both at the same time and don't forget to disconnect the battery earth before you start!

The fuse was replaced last night ( as it was fecked ) which did not solve the issue. This morning the fuse had blown again! Underneath wires had rubbed which was causing the issues. Rcalibration and now all is fine

Thanks for the advice folks

Back now looking fantastic... Took the V8 out for a celebratory spin
