Air Suspension issues

samdanshacha said:

Hi, I have a 2006 LR3 HSE that has a problem with the suspension. I replaced the compressor and (relay) a wee while ago but found that the rear drivers side sat slightly lower than the rear passenger side. I recently upgraded to 20" with Continental tyres and am now experiencing a very uncomfortable ride. On a smooth surface it is fine but you hit the smallest bump (i.e cats eyes) and it's like you have hit a big pot-hole. Before I go and spend a wee fortune at the dealers, has anyone experienced the same problems. The suspension moves up and down as it should and it isn't losing any air, tried the soapy water trick on all the pipes and checked the heights overnight. Any guidance would be appreciated. Cheers

Hi, I have left it on 'normal' and 'off-road height' on separate occasions and it isn't losing any air. She goes up and down when asked.
I will take some pictures and post later. Unsure if it is the drivers side that is low or the passengers side that is too high.
Thanks again

ur right u know, seeing the chassis is the same on a sport and D3 it’s only the bodies that are different

then the LR3 is what land rover calls them in the states , nothing like confusing things , lol
