Hi all,

New member here and needing a little help/advice.
Range Rover LWB L322 diesel 2002
We've had a bit of a cold snap here and recently when I startup in the morning 1) the seat memory fails to work, although the individual controls do and 2) today, I now have an Air Suspension Inactive message coming up, although it does seem to be working OK.
Do I need to be worried about these, and is there anything I need to be doing?

Many thanks

Check your battery condition! If it starts to fail, it can affect things like memory settings. I imagine the battery may be fairly old is it?

Cheers for the quick reply Doo. Actually, no, I shoved a new one in a couple of months ago in prep for winter

Perhaps the alternator not as good as once was or the starter drawing more current. They are an enigma, but if it's lost it's memory, the usual suspect is lack of volts to keep it. One of the other chaps will happen along soon. They're the real LR/RR experts, i just now about earth cars and their little foibles, these Range Rovers are in the realms of interplanetary craft

Tell me about it

I know a bit about engines, but electrickery leaves me looking like a clown most of the time

It's not that it's lost memory, it's just the memory button doesn't work first thing. It starts to work after the car has warmed up - 10 mins or so.

Sounds like a relay is jamming in the extreme cold. Like I say, one of the real experts will happen along. Good luck
