Hello and welcome.
You'll have to get the fault codes read. A Land Rover garage can do this, either main dealer (expensive) or specialist.
Or, much cheaper, is to download the software from www.rswsolutions.com. You'll then need a lead to connect your laptop to the OBD2 diagnostics port.
And either download 'Rave' from the internet or buy a disc off ebay. You'll need it.

I can supply the cable and the software on CD including RAVE. Your fault is likely to be an airbag leaking or a height sensor or maybe the compressor.

Sorry Datatek, forgot you were doing them. Do you do a OBD2 - Faultmate lead? The one they supply is ridiculously short and they want £25 postage for a longer version for something that costs less than a tenner.

There are a few reasons for it to be sat on it's arse. But 95% + of the time it will be a failed compressor seal or diaphragm valve.

Hi Derek, I don't have the 15 pin D connector in stock or the cable which I assume is 8 or more cores. I can look at the possibility if you are interested, probably not economic though. Personally I find the cable long enough as it allows the Faultmate to sit on the passenger seat and I have a long cable to the laptop.

Data, BBS's low usage OBD11 cable is only about 12 inches long, an extension lead is provided FOC with the SV kit.
I'm considering buying a new OBD11 cable for my Faultmate as I would prefer a longer vehicle /server cable, for those who feel the same some options below.

If there were enough interest, I would guess I could do a 3.5 metre cable for around £12 + P&P, a one off is not practical as I would need to order a drum of cable.
