Ok door closed so system active. I wonder if the front axle pressure equalisation is cycling. What is the difference in bit count side to side on front axle?
I'll check tomorrow morning but it does raise the question why not equalize when the pump isn't running. That's the odd bit.
Ive adjusted the axle heights countless times and it always re-offends.
 
I hate it...

You can't say that Tony....
You can't...
I. I. I..
You just can't...
Don't you give on me:eek:

Under normal circumstances when the vehicle speed falls below 1 MPH both front valves open to equalise pressure across the axle. That is why it is so important to have the bit count within 2 bits side to side. If one side has more pressure in it than the other the car will drop slightly when this happens then will rise again to the set bit counts. When the car is assembled and system is setup on blocks, the arms are tweaked to give bit counts of no more than 2 out across axle. So the pressure difference side to side is minimised. That is why you don't change bit counts whilst sat in the car. All measuring and changing is done from outside.

Agreed my good man. I'll take a look tomorrow but I've no doubt in the settings tbh....
 
Bugger it, the air suspension is irrelevant and it'll be springs for tea tonight...
I've checked all the measurements,
I've checked the sensor bars, connectors and stored and live heights.
Road height,
FL 120
Fr 119
Rl 112
Rr 112.
sits still. No dancing.
Lower road profile settings .
FL 102
Fr 102
Rl 93
Rr 97.. Live info is always 2bits out between the front axle sensors. I had to take the rear left down to get the fronts to come close to each other but never balance out.
Live info reveals the front sensors at lower road level flicker between 102 and 99 bits but only at lower road height. F*cking thing... Sorry that's my frustration coming out.
 
Deja vu Mark! I feel your pain and think back a couple of weeks to my own problem - which does seem to be fixed now, although 'isolation' has barely allowed me mileage in double figures.
For me, cleaning the white plugs (hard wired in your case I know) but also putting the OE relay back did seem to put a stop to the theatrical movements. I wondered whether the self levelling was storing up events for action as soon as the ignition goes on.

Thank you, everything is unmodified and nearly new aprt from the 20yr old height sensors... I've just looked on island and for the front the price isn't bad and that is for Dunlop versions.
 
Is the sensors on your year of range rover reversible side to side so to use a new bit track on the sensor,.:rolleyes:....RR.
They are yes, been there.. And these are a second pair of a similar age. Underpants have been turned inside out and swapped for last Tuesdays as well. :p
