I’ve recently brought a 2006 L322 and it’s coming up with suspension fault when driving sometimes but no obvious issues/ change.
Came out to the car in the morning and the rear was on the floor. First thought was air leak but then 2 days later it hadn’t dropped overnight, luckily I’m a mechanic so plugged it into the diagnostic machine and nothing came up so I am stuck, was wondering could it be the valve block sticking every now and then ? Many thanks in advance

It's got to be something unmonitered and possibly uncontrolled to an extent.
So youve got no faults at all
What diag are you using

+1 on this, some diagnostic will say they will work and even list EAS module but won't actually communicate or only partially.
I tried a friend's diag and saw exactly this

Leaks open and close where the bags fold.

I would check the compressor output.

Got a feeling there might be 2 different brands used in the L322?

I did wonder if this could be the case but the bags don’t look too old and It was only extended for a bit of a muddy field and then stays in normal height when it became deflated but couple days later it stopped deflating

Never played with one but I think it is under the spare wheel?

If it isn't there then it will probably be under the car behind the rear wheel on the left (near-side in the UK).

When I say spare wheel, I mean inside the car. As in take the spare wheel out and look underneath it. Or is the spare wheel accessed from underneath?

There's a thing from JLR called Topix which is a sort of online version of RAVE, the workshop manual. RAVE might even cover the early L322. Worth a look.

On mine (facelift) it's under the spare wheel in the boot

It's under the spare wheel in the boot which is inclined to fill with water.

Ive had all sorts of issues from sensors being out of alignment. Bags deflating, ride height issues where the front was higher than the rear by a good 40mm+. Random fault messages.......

For me, had to drop the car to the bump stops and bend the brackets for the height sensors.

Reading the live data, the front and rear sensors should add up to 4.9v to 5v. Left to right should be the same value all but. When I looked at mine, front right added up to 5.3v with the rear and was 0.4v higher than the front left wheel. Bent this bracket, did a recal, which kept erroring out when I initially tried, and all been good since.
