    Air suspension randomly drops to bump stops RRSC 2007

    If all four corners drop the first place to check is within the valve block as it can vent the air bags back through the compressor

    HELP!! Range Rover Vogue Battery changed HDC/Suspension Inactive

    as the brakes are used for HDC if youve got low fluid it will probably turn off the HDC , if the suspension doesn't reset with the turn of the wheel then it almost certainly needs sticking on a diagnostic , ABS sensors are a good candidate as it uses the wheel speeds on different systems

    if HDC inactive flashes up when starting the car then the battery is on the way out, this can also throwup lots of odd little messages for stuff that theres nothing wrong with. As for the suspension you need to read the fault if its " reservoir pressure static when filling" then its either the...
