    Disco 2 Air compressor

    It will self level for something like two min after switch off. This includes lifting up (comp on) and dropping down (hissing noise). If its only on for a short period i would say its normal, if its none stop you might have an air leak or other fault. Does it drop overnight?

    Disco 2 lowering rear suspension

    Once you start driving the vehicle will self level. 15/20mph i think. Best thing for getting under tow hitches that have sunk in the mud.

    disco 2 rear seats

    If you imagine them as they should be in place put away, left hand side seat. Put your hand on the top of the seat, there is a small clip roughly in the middle, just out of sight if you are opening from the standing position, to release the seat from the side of the vehicle. With the clip...

    Series II suspension

    If it was the valve/hight sensor, you would hear the valve open and the air escaping/vehicle dropping and then a clunk (valve shutting) when at correct height. Mine drops when we get out most of the time but only 1-2cm. If its i constant hissing until the vehicle drops right down then i would...

    Water in Fuel Warning Light

    99% its the connection with the sensor. Supposed to be a common fault, to the point where i was told LR disconnect them now! As you can see from the location its not surprising that the connections get wet. My mechanic has disconnected mine, saying as the filter is changed regularly if any...

    Self Levelling Suspension Remote Control

    I saw one on e bay this week, not sure on price though. Make sure it comes with the bar code as it can not be programmed to work without it. Great for hitching the caravan when you get it going. ;0)
