Air suspension playing up
Over this cold spell great white ain't been that great when gettin to the car in a morning the front end has dropped quite a bit, once started the normal height is used, but after driving for about 5 mins the car drops to the bump stops, and the red stability light comes on, then the back end goes to extended mode (dragster stylee), the dealer did some checks reckoned the compressor was on it's way out, so i've had that done at the cost of a kidney , everything ok on the way back, didn't use car for a couple of days, then on way back to scotland 5 minutes into journey car does it again, drove straight to dealers BUT they had it in for an hour and couldn't find a problem, the ecu hadn't logged the 2 red warnings either. i then drove back to the top of scotland with no problem at all.
Anybody have a clue to whats up with it, or anybody had a similar experience

Do you have the 4x4 info enabled and if so are any of the white lines red?
Mine done this in the first week in Jan and turned out to be corroded wiring to the hieght sensor and/or a crushed plug.
Got a repair kit from TLO for £20 and all right now.

last time i had a wire and connector replaced it didn't cost £20, it just seems a bit odd that they replaced a compressor (made of pure gold), when the old one was working ok, i even went offroading whilst waiting for the pump to come from landrover, i can't help thinking i've been done up the bum....
i looked at the readout from the computer down load and everyting was ok... typical
i've just been out to it now and it's doin the dragster thing and won't go down to access mode but no warnings are coming up on the info screen... now it's ok agian just playin about with the ride height settings.
it seems to me, to be electrikery problems again....
probably all that money for a connector
mines an s' model, so only has just the info on the little green screen
cheers matt
