Hi and thanks for accepting me on the forum.
So, I have a 2004 Range Rover Vogue 3.0L. I bought it in October and I drove it from the UK to Portugal and it didnt miss a beat. It was fantastic. Now it starts! I had a slow puncture in my passenger side rear tyre so I stopped at a garage and put some air in it. When I got back in the car I got Air Suspension inactive message. Thats strange I thought, so I popped into a garage and he plugged it in and reset the suspension. I left there thinking no more of it.
That evening I was sitting outside my parents house waiting for them so I decided to lower the car and raise it, however, when I put into maximum height, it just seemed to keep going on the front drivers side, and the bag literally just blew up. I was absolutely gobsmacked.
I then purchased new front struts and new height sensors, and fitted them myself. I actually replaced the droplinks on each side too because they looked nasty. I also disconnected the battery while working on it.
Once everything is fitted I kept the wheels off the ground and let the bags refill. Once that was done I put the car back on the ground and started it up. I put the car in standard height mode but when it was done, the car was sitting about 100mm higher on the front drivers side than on the passenger side.
I thought it needed recalibrating, so I took it to my local garage and he plugged his machine in, deflated the system and started to raise the car up. All looking good he went into offroad height and the passenger side was a bit slow to rise and then, bang! the driver side has gone off the rails again and blown up.
When it does blow up, it leaves no errors and the suspension stays active. I am at a loss with this now and im seriously considering putting it on coils. But, in one last attempt to put it all right, I am hoping someone will come up with an answer.
Thanks for taking the time to read through my problem
