Belated Update With advice from other threads in this forum I successfully replaced the height sensors and air suspension units at the weekend, so thanks to the posters concerned. it is however worthwhile making sure you have four new 10mm M5 flange hex bolts before you remove the old...

I appreciate how the SLS is supposed to work sierrafery, it's just that my SLS seems to have forgotten....... And at the risk of exhausting your patience, just one last query... Would you recommend connecting the negative lead to the negative terminal of the battery or to the car body... or...

I realise that now.... just didn't think something with that small a point of contact would fuse so tightly... i assumed the body was sticking.... But this is a big learning curve for me, so your help is appreciated.... and if you feel like giving a tutorial on how to set up the kind of parallel...

Thanks again sierrafery... never thought of using anti-rust spray on plastic connectors, but I'll give it a go.............. And I'm not sure I have enough knowledge to improvise the wiring you suggest, so maybe I should just stick to your second option. But thanks again for your help.

Not much progress due to the freezing weather. Highest temperature today was -1........ The only fault code I get when I switch the ignition on relates to a faulty ABS sensor on the hub that was replaced by a garage a couple of months ago. Not relevant to my current problem, but something for...

Thanks again for the ongoing advice sierrafery. There were no fault codes stored and I haven't touched any of the components inside the compressor housing yet. Just a visual inspection. I'll take a look at the ecu plugs as soon as I get a chance. The weather at the moment doesn't exactly...

Thanks sierrafery, that's what I was beginning to suspect. Any ideas on how I can test the ECU if I pull it out? I've got details of which pins are connected to the valves. Or is it really a job for an auto electrician ...if I can get one to come out into the wilds... or for my main dealer?

Done all that. With the engine on and running, all I get when I test the valves are readings of 0.00V or 0.06V. And the reading across the relay is 0.20V. Same readings with ORM selected... or when using Nanocom to inflate the bags. Zilch. Nothing. The fuse is ok and the relay seems to be ok...

Thanks guys, but I know the bags need replacing. I had already bought new bags and new sensors, BUT........ on the Friday evening before I was going to replace them the car developed this additional fault. And there is no danger of the compressor burning out coz it's only running for a few...

Thanks thebiglad, but that was my first thought. I don't think you can imagine how many times I have gone around that vehicle opening and shutting all the doors...... Also the Nanocom says that the door switch is closed.

My issue is that I can't get any of the valves to open. When I start up the engine, the compressor runs briefly but neither of the inlet valves open and there appears to be no voltage across them. Then after a few seconds the compressor stops working. The car is sitting low due to a leak in...

Hi All. I asked this question in another thread, but it's probably more appropriate to ask it here so I hope I'm not breaching any site etiquette by asking the same question in different places. I've got a 2001 TD5 with air suspension problems. Using the excellent advice and guidance on...

Thanks for the offer of help Ahaggar. I had read about the "Transport" problem before and I'm aware of that. I think I must have some kind of electrical problem. My problem is I've never used Nanocom on the SLS while it was working properly, so I don't know what responses I should get to the...

Well that's very encouraging to hear Ahaggar.... but have you ever used it to diagose faults on the air suspension or to inflate the bags? I'm having a few problems and would appreciate some guidance. Thanks.

Thanks for the welcome ...and if I can keep my Disco going for another 17 years chunkymunky, i'll be a very happy bunny...................... but probably even poorer than I am now.......
