| various intermittent errors including suspension warning. |
|
Hi All
I'm a new and proud owner of a 2008 Disco 3 HSE.
I've only had it since Saturday but already noticing some errors which I have read elsewhere seem to be regular. It seems that sometimes when I start the car up I get an amber Suspension System light come on, the DSC lights up as a fixed Amber light and on the suspension height adjustment lever the usually lit normal driving line is out. Sometimes restarting the car gets rid of these errors. I did mention it to the trade seller and he said it was due to low voltage because it hadn't had a good run in some time. Well i drove it for 3 x 1hour trips to and from work without the lights, stopped off at the shop on the way home and when I got back in the car the same indications were present again. Any thoughts? I've read elsewhere that the suspension could be a sensor fault but why the DSC too?
Thanks for reading. I hope this makes sense as I'm not a mechanically minded person.

Best to get the codes read to see what is showing up.
May be worth having the battery fully charged

Perhaps not, how do you know the alternator is working as it should?
How do you know the battery is good?
Get it on a charger, then clear the codes, drive it and the check for codes again
The D3 is a big power hungry beast
Perhaps check the battery with a meter
at rest
at tick over
with gadgets turned on

Hey
Thanks for the reply. I took the car back to the dealer and timed it right as his LandRover specialist was there. He hooked up to a computer and determined the fault to be due to the air compressor. The dealer said he would get it replaced. May be a delay due to covid in getting one but promising. I was also get some judder on the motorway intermittently and they believe that's connected to the compressor too.
