I have a Discovery 2 2004 TD5 Landmark.
Round trip of 200 miles today and the added joy of a return journey with the rear offside suspension inflated to full height; nearside normal. No warning lights; car drove as normal with no issues - just leaning.
Two years ago I fitted two new suspension bags as they were deflating and two new Britpart height sensors as the lower pivot eyes had split on the originals. Worked perfectly until now; the bags are obviously OK but the sensors surely can't have failed already? It's been raining very heavily today and we drove through loads of standing water at speed. When we started out for home the ride height was normal; 30 miles later we stopped for fuel and noticed the extremely angled Discovery..... can water ingress into the sensors / wiring loom cause this?
As an aside, but worth mentioning, I have just had to change the starter solenoid internals (intermittent starting) so had to disconnect the battery (both terminals). At the same time pulled the ECU behind the battery and inspected for the dreaded oil ingress from the injector loom. No probs there - refitted. Reconnected battery and success! Starts on the button!. No suspension issues, warning lights or anything untoward showed up at this point. (Saturday). Forward to today (Tuesday) and now a suspension fault........ Grrrr..... could battery disconnection have affected the software?
Any help please!
