Range Rover L322 - Air suspension inactive // We have a new fault, caused by myself going off road. We found the corner where the fault was and it turned out to be a disconnected height sensor. #rangerover #rangeroverl322 #airsuspensioninactive

Hi Ben we are in France also in 23160 we have a Range Rover Vogue Petrol 2005 and have a problem with Air suspension total collapse we are at the end of our tether trying to sort the problem and were wondering if you could help at all even if there were a suspension conversion kit for this model. One guy had a look at it dismantled the air compressor before lockdown and then contacted us after the lockdown that he wasn't opening again! and left us with a dismantled compressor. Any help you could give would be appreciated

@Bensgarage 4 жыл бұрын

There are coil spring conversion kits available, which if just road driving would be ok. You would lose the benefits of the air suspension ie changing height and extra travel when you get it bottomed out. But if you don’t off road then it wouldn’t be a problem. Have you had it plugged into a decent diagnostic tool? How good are you with the spanner’s? Bag piping Andy.com do compressor rebuild kits with full instructions so you could maybe rebuild the compressor.

Glad that was an easy fix. Has been quite a revolution in Land Rover specific code readers in the last few years. I have the latest version Hawkeye which does all Rovers from the Classic to the L405. Very handy for my 2000 and 2008 Range Rovers. If I eventually buy a Discovery 2 for off road bashing it will be good for that as well. Having said that I might still buy a Gap Diagnostics IIDTool for the L322. Cheers.

Once again many thanks for your reply its nice to know that there is someone in France who can advise

I’m afraid I don’t know of any one. I do most of my own repairs and if my workshop was finished I’d offer to do it, trouble is I still have no floor. From what I can see it’s a fairly easy job, just time consuming. You might want to research the kits, I think there is something you plug into the wiring to fool the cars ECU into thinking the suspension is working as normal. That way you don’t get warning lights coming on.

@kevinmiles2677 4 жыл бұрын

It goes more in depth, you can change height settings, change things on the car that only a dealer would be able to do like set the folding mirrors to fold when you lock the car, enable the towing socket if you fit a tow bar, flash the ecu and change ccf files plus many more things. The icarsoft is great at reading and clearing codes.

Henry Galdamez it should if working correctly raise the suspension to normal ride height when you start driving (not sure what speed it raises) so I guess the answer would be no you can’t.
