United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual Zermatt SilverDiscovery 3
Suspension issue

Hi all

Disco recently has been standing too high in normal ride height at the rear on passenger side

Today I stripped the brakes to free of sticking callipers and replace a piston in one whilst I was doing it I gave the sensors arms a bit of movement to see if they were free, the top of the extension of the arm where it goes onto the round spigot was seized so, I freed them off,

now it sits way to high on both sides and on the return journey from my bros it went into limp mode and the special programs shut down and dropped it to its knees,I stopped, let it go to sleep then restarted and it still sits too high but didn't shut down for the rest of the journey home,

I am going to borrow bros snap on diag next weekend and see what codes are there, but where should I be looking for the problem, is it knackered sensors or does it need resetting in diagnostics.

Be grateful for any help

Cheers Big Cry Rolling Eyes Confused

Still, have this problem

but now as well as the rear lifting to a ridiculous height it now gives Amber then red fault light then goes into limp mode and dumps air,

where do I start looking
I am pretty sure I have a leak somewhere as when it stands for the week it drops to its knees, so I know I need to find this first

but what could make it pump the rear up so high ??


Any pointers be gladly received

Cheers

May need re-calibrated. if its sitting high at any point.
 Why does every page of the manual have fingerprints?

The ride height sensor either needs re-calibrating or replacing and then re-calibrating.
