Hi all,
I have a disco 2 millennium edition with persistent problems on the air suspension.
Both air bags have been changed and LH sensor changed this last couple of months, RH sensor replaced approx 4 years ago.
Initial problems getting the ride height correct on the LHS, this was due to a basic error by mechanic not storing settings.
A friend replaced the M8 bolts securing the lower part of the sensors on both sides.
Within 4 days, after initial drive and parking up, I came back to the vehicle to find it had dropped on the LHS.
I fired the car up and watched as the LH pumped up then lowered itself a couple of times before settling at the correct height, no more problems for the rest of the day.
The following morning I drove the car approx 1 mile and both air bags dropped with the fault flashing up on the dash for the air suspension system.
Turn off, restart, the dash warning light clears and bags pump up, drive 200m and bags deflate with warning light again.
Its happy to sit and tick over with no probs but as soon as I start to drive we have the above.
Borrowed a nanocom evolution, which is happy to talk to my car with no warning lights on and tells me there are no faults on the SLS.
When I force the fault to appear by driving, I get an error message from the nanocom telling me it cannot connect to the ECU and is unable to read any car data on any of its menus.
Because I can't drive it, I can't get it to my local Land Rover chappie to take a look, to be quite honest, I been to and from him with it for the best part of 6 months and we're about to give up and put it on coils. (LV are happy to insure with the modification and are not charging stupid money)
Any ideas please?
Thanks.
