disco 2 sls

I have a 99 disco2 with sls,for some reason after a journey the sls dumps
the air for no reason,the journey can be any length and this happens 1 in
every 10 journeys the outher 9 occations the sls remains fine.
Any ideas?

What do you mean by "dumps the air"? As in the suspension dropping
onto the bump stops or a "phissssst" a few tens of seconds after
switching off but the suspension remains up. Mine does the latter and
when I asked it's "normal" behaviour. I just wish they'd mention all
these odd noises in the User Manual.

The SLS completely deflates when in "limp-home" mode. I would suggest
you take the vehicle to a Land Rove specialist with Autologic or T4
diagnostics who can read the FAULT memory for the SLABS ECU.
Typically, a faulty height sensor will cause the vehicle to go into limp
home mode.

The sls drops right on to the stops but like i said it only happens appx 1
in 10 times the other 9 times its fine,seems to eratic to be a major prob.

It could be a faulty sensor, but I agree with the other poster, you
really need to get it into a well-equipped independent specialist to
find out.

No doubt of it .......replace both bags(around 70pounds each).....they have the ability to seal themselves sometimes. If u wait they'll drop more often and u might lose the compressor too.

Father-in-law just replaced his, looks a fairly straightforward, and £128 for a pair of dunlop airbags

£128? That's cheaper than Paddocks. Can you tell me where he got them from, am going to be doing mine very soon, i think....

I`m sure i can find out
