Sport PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hi all, I have just got to the lake district today and kept getting a normal height only suspension fault.. i then managed to get it to off road mode and now I can't get it down the switch feels like it's missing the down part.

I'm stuck up here and need to drive back home to Cornwall on Wednesday can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Yeah that's fine it is late

Its possible we can get someone local to help but we need advice from the tech minded folks first

Hi

As it’s in off road height over a certain speed it should automatically lower to normal height , can’t remember off the top of my head, once it lowers then leave the switch alone , which will allow u to drive home in normal height

Another option to cover bases is post on the D3 forum https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/index.php, as someone may be bear enough to come and plug a diagnostic reader in as ur need the codes read anyway , then if it comes up as a faulty switch may be able to find one on route home

For information if I want to disable the suspension system u pull fuse F26 ,

Will check out the speed it drops for u

Ps, as a side note bro al height error can be a lot of things , broken wire behind front passenger wheel arch liner, compressor , dryer blocked , the list goes on

Looks as though u can get the height switch on its own , but still checking , just in case so u have abit of knowledge before hand what’s involved

But must have diagnostics done first due to the range of faults in can be

The sport and D3 centre consoles are different , pic is from my D3 , of course don’t know if ur sport is manual or auto

Bit more further digging , u can just get the terrain / height switch assembly

See how u get on with fault codes

Isn’t it a Rangie sport, not a D3?

Awsome thankyou will give a little post up.

Has anyone got a fault code reader?

Also apologies its a 2005 tdv6 Auto. Not sure if they made manual ones.

Try Lakeland Land Rover at Coniston and see if they can do a quick diag for you

Hi

The sport and D3 share a lot between them, up until I think 2012 when the sport totally changed
