New owner here. Just recently picked up my first Range Rover, 2001 2.5d, thing pulls like a train!!!! Electrics are a whole other question or series of them that I'll be asking here :), the dash is lit up like a christmas tree, every telltale light is on!. First question I have though is that the compressor for the suspension has been disconnected and the bags inflated manually but I'm planning on parking it for a while to sort out the electrical gremlins, should I deflate the bags completely or partially or leave them as they are?

Thanks.

I suspect if you have had to inflate the bags manually it will find its own level soon enough.

Good battery is starting point.

Leave them as they are and if one corner drops, suspect that ai spring is leaking. If the bags are original, they will need replacing anyway. Leaking bags is probably why the compressor has been disconnected.

I plan on leaving it parked for a few weeks to sort out all the electrical problems. i was just wondering whether it was better to deflate the bags, leave them full or partially full?

That's great thanks. New to owning this type of suspension, didn't want to damage it by leaving it in a position that it shouldn't be in for too long.

If possible use a maintenance charger if your leaving it for long time prevents any possible problems caused by a flat battery

So, it has an EAS fault. I would bet the compressor is toast caused by the airbags are leaking.
I can supply the EAS diagnostics and cable which works with Windows.
You need to plan a complete overhaul of the EAS, not difficult and not very expensive.

Windows not set just indicates the battery has been flat. Run each window all the way down, then all the way up and hold the button for 5 seconds, you should then get the message "Window Set" for each window as you do it.
