Air Suspension Question
Hi all,
I have a strange issue with the project D3.
I've been getting the orange suspension warning light on and "Normal Height only" message popping up within 30 secs of the disco turning on. Read the faults with the IID tool and was getting the "gallery not venting" error Compressor valve fault.
So I replaced the compressor as it was faulty (tried on a friends D3 and go the same message)
The new compressor arrived and I fitted it now the orange suspension warning comes on again within 60secs of the Disco being turned on. The new fault is "preassure increases to slowly". I can sit and watch the valves open and the bags fill and rise using my IID tool but when they close and the air tank valve opens to fill the reservoir it throws a fault and shuts the compressor off straight away. The IID tool shows the reservoir valve opening (0%-100% so assume that's closed and open)
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Are you sure you didn't have a leak in the first place, which kept the compressor running and it?
Then when you've fitted the new compressor it cant fill the reservoir quickly enough because you still have a leak?Disco4 MY16 SDV6 Landmark Black

No leaks that I can find. The Disco will go to normal ride height then stay there all day and night not dropping at all. Would a hole in the tank cause this?

Spray soapy water to find leaks, tank usually suffers from pin holes at the front end and along the seam that makes contact with chassis rail, compacted rust can hide small pin holes

Maybe the solenoid in the central valve block is not opening correctly to vent the "gallery".

I'm with Garry on this. Sounds like the central valve block. This is just forward of the compressor.Kev
