| Discovery Suspension repairs |
|
My suspension repairs (10 days with the dealer) were all within the 3 year warranty. Recently a broken CD/Radio button was sorted with a complete CD/Radio replacement in the second year.

Hi got my landrover discovery back today after been at the dealership for two days. Its working perfectly once again and yes, they already had a note of the enhancement program requirements when I arrived there yesterday with the car. I had to sign the worksheet and it was listed as one of the work requirements. Have driven 82 miles in it today and no problems and no warning lights coming on either. However, I would like to thank you for your help in this matter and to the owner of the site, thank you for enabling such a helplful site for the general public's use. Its wonderful and I shall be back if there is a next time, or if I want to have a ramble through your files for assistance. Best wishes and once again thanks. Very fed up Land Rover Discovery driver.....

Hi Griff,
What were the symptoms (apart from the warning light coming on and a message on the display)? did the suspension lower / refuse to raise / freeze? for Freelander 2 Diesel, Discovery 3 / RR Sport TDV6 & RR Sport TDV8, Defender (TD5 & Puma) - available Now!

Hi folks,
got a 2 mth old HSE ( great car but...)
randomly when stopping car, engine off and closing door - rear suspension seems to vent "air" and drop by about 1 inch. Happens approx 50% of time. Has also appeared to happen when driving ( once stationary and once very slow speed). Been to dealer for software patch - no change.
2nd visit to dealer 'no fault found' as no warning lights, no diagnostic info and no 'memory' faults logged.
Promise I'm NOT MAKEING IT UP!! obviously no confidence that this will not happen at speed.
Any ideas or similar problems??
Dealer just says 'computer says no!'
£45k car - not happy!

the Disco3 'fart' is normal, as is self levelling when stationary with the engine running, such as when at traffic lights etc. Not sure how you would sense it lowering when moving, but the system is an active one and will move air around to achieve best-case level all the time.
hope this helps for Freelander 2 Diesel, Discovery 3 / RR Sport TDV6 & RR Sport TDV8, Defender (TD5 & Puma) - available Now!

You can sense this at traffic lights sometimes if you pull up too hard... the back drops and you feel like a gust of wind has moved the car - best I can describe it.
As TFC says... its normal if a bit disconcerting sometimes.

| Re: Suspension Height Failure |

Spooky, my suspension failed on me yesterday, rang dealer in bishop stortford, told me they can have a look on friday, 3 days time, told them no thank you, rang chelmsford dealer reluctantly and they called out LR assistance to me who arrived four hours later and recovered the car, gave me a jaguar to use until mine is repaired, got a call this afternoon to say it was ready for collection, took about 24 hrs from reporting to repair, that is bloody good in anyones book, well done Lookers at Hadleigh, not Chelmsford. Sadly this is the first time this has happened on my car, air suspension failures on my previous Range Rover was the reason that we parted company, every time it went worng it cost me £1000-00. Mainly due to misdiagnosis by morons. If this starts playing up on my car then we will part company well before the warranty expires and it will definately be my last dealings with Land Rover. Shame really because I was looking at a Sport as my next purchase.  70,000 MILES AND COUNTING
