It probably will eventually but not necessarily immediately. I broke an airbag last weekend and I could definitely hear it hissing. No fault reported though, despite the wheel rubbing on the wheelarch on that corner.

If the problem is that severe then it's probably something else - duff compressor perhaps? Do you have a solid LED and a flashing one on your height display? (solid shows where it is and flashing shows the height it's trying to go to).

Have a look on rangerovers.net for loads of information on air suspension.

One more (probably completely obvious) thing, I assume all your doors and tailgate are properly closed? it won't move if it thinks any of them are open.

Yes, start with the compressor, if you haven't repaired it previously then its the first place took look at with EAS problems. Replacing the piston/seal/cylinder is a measly £90 and a quickish/simple job.
