L320 drag car

Hi all will try to make this short. Front suspension very low, rear on hi setting. So called local independent LR Garage had it 10 weeks had to get the car back in the end with a huge bill for fixing nothing. They changed compressor, middle and rear blocks, nsr level sensor. Still the same.

Needs diagnostics, but may be a problem with one of the valve blocks.

Thank you for the quick reply. The center and rear blocks are new. Would the front make the car do this?

No idea on your model, could be leaking airbags.
It really does need diagnostics.

Ok l320 RRS, but thank you.

Sounds like you would have done better spending the money on your own diagnostic tool first.
People laugh when it is said it will save you money, now we see why.

All I can say is what are the codes the garage saw that lead them to believe they needed to spend so much of your money? Ask them for codes.

Buy your own reader (good quality) and tell us what you get. It’s fixable.

Did they mention any white powder? Do you have the old bits?

It could be leaking bags at the front, soapy water is your friend. Although I would expect the back to finally drop to.

As you can see, so many questions and a code could eliminate so many issues.

Can you DIY?

@gstuart is your friend right now as he has gone through his.

The front wont go up at all. Now when just tryed the new compressor keeps blowing air off. WOW.... they never mentioned powder and didn't tell me codes. Guess I'm &(^£*&£.
Ok what's a good reader that does air suspension

Do you get any messages up on the dash?
If they have no codes they wasted your money. Sorry.

I have IID Gap as do many. Not cheap but I have had my money back already

It's now saying there's something underneath the car ?

A lot less that it will cost you to get a stealer to fix it if they ever do.

Correct

If it thinks it’s beached itself it will raise even further than normal to help gat you out of said beaching It should then try to lower, IE exhaust air to bring it back down.
Now my thoughts. If it thinks it exhausting but doesn’t go down it will still think it’s beached.
Exhaust filter? But guessing without proper diagnostics.

Something fishy about all this. I just need my car fixed so I will buy a diagnostics tool just to see what the he'll I really do need to fix it.

I am not sure of the RRS.
Some had a remote exhaust on the end of a pipe some didn’t. And that ends the extent of what I know, sorry.

My L322 exhaust is at the pump but then it’s in a safe space.
