Air suspension fault
ScrumpyJack:
Well I know it makes sense to go coils but, the wife doe's like to pose, I would post a pic of her bling as she calls it, if I new how,
Anyway, I have heard you can pump the suspension up manually, would like to know how,
I personally think the valve block has seized and the ECU, bless its little socks has dumped air to put in the "safe ride" bad choice,
Going to change the valve block if no good think it's time for the coils :cry:
God bless Land rover :wink:

Have you taken the time to read the manual, there are several conditions that cause the EAS to go into safe mode, including a compressor overheat. For it to deflate completely I'd suspect more than one fault. It takes about 5 minutes to work out what's troubling the ECU if you have access to Rovacom.
Don't listen to those people who tell you to go coil sprung, that's the chicken's way out. Also as you'll have to declare it as a modification on your insurance.
My LSE has EAS and it's the most stable car I've ever had for towing, you just have to make sure the trailer is loaded correctly because if it starts to snake you never feel a thing.
Anyway, don't just chuck money at it without knowing what's wrong, if you lived closer I'd have a look for you.

Totall agree with the above, air suspention is brilliant, you have to have had it to really know how good it is; coils really do have to be a last resort.
