P38 air suspension
Range Rover Blues:
Anyway, I've been to Rover Renovations too, top bloke. Have a look at the Arnott GIII air springs (I keep saying this but) I have a pair for the rear of your car that were sent by mistake, if you want to avoid shipping and duty they are in my loft (but not cheap).
If one bag leaks then chances are when the car is self leveling (every 4 hours IIRC when parked) then eventually it will end up on the bump stops. On the RRC you can disable the sytem with a switch under the driver's seat that tells the ecu there is a door open, it's for changing wheels etc. Leave this switched on for a couple of days and see which corner goes down then.
A leaky bag could be muck in the valve O rings, a leaky union or damaged pipe but also take a look at the quality of your bags, one of mine was threadbare :shock: I'm surprised it stayed up.
If you know someone with Rovacom you can a**e around with the ride height settings to your heart's content. I have GIII bags on the LSE and my high profile is about 2 higher at the front and 3" at the back, I run plus 1" shocks on the fornt and plus 2" on the back without the bags threatening to explode.
Have a look in my galery.
P.S. it does sound like the pump is past it's best. When you turn the engine off it will lower to the level of the lowest corner, so don't worry if it goes down when you park on a curb etc.

AFAIK the way to stop the suspension going down on a P38 when changing wheels is to open the top tailgate and switch the hazards on - not really an option for a couple of days continuously :wink:
I will certainly have a look under the seat but I bet P38's are different from classics :roll:
Pity really - an ideal way to find which corner is causing the problem

For waht it's worht I have the workshop manuals as PDF's. THey don't help with overhauling the parts as the LR system is to change the whole unit and charge a fortune but if any use I can Email them; you will need broadband though as they are not small files.

Thanks Wavey - I already have them on disc but the offer is much appreciated
Think it might be a good idea to buy a proper manual - looks like I may need it ! :lol:
