LR3 Air Suspension Problem! Help!

[Houm_WA]

Right...the dilemma of the college student!

Free time or money - pick one :-(

I know

I'll take the free time while I am studying, it is just embarrassing having to fix the suspension or whatever every now and then. My family has endless jokes about how fragile this land rover is.

 

[Houm_WA]

I'm not proud of this, because it was the WRONG line and I went way too fast (I've since perfected it) but next time your family makes a joke about it being fragile show them this and let them know that it's never left me walkin' and I've taken it to the Yukon and back!

I'll show them for sure! btw that is one cool looking disco! I will buy the fog lights as I've already got the A frame bar.
They do have a right to troll the land rover tho as they have paid for almost all the fixes and services hahahah.

Anyhow jeffjam have you fixed your suspension yet?

 

[Houm_WA]

Thanks...I like it too.

 

[BearishDriver]

What was it jeffjam? does it rise now?
I changed my air strut yesterday and the ****** still lowers overnight! I am REALLY sick of the stupid EAS now



It takes well longer to lower but anyhow the rear drops dead
I am guessing it is the valve block?

 

[Houm_WA]

Dude; whomever advised you to change your shock to solve a lowering issue led you astray. That isn't their failure mode.

 

[BearishDriver]

It was indeed leaking, one could actually listen to the air going out the strut.
Mate the thing is that in top of the leaking air strut it's got yet another issue, after changing it one can notice the lowering after 3, 4 hours. Before it was within 5 minutes.
Anyhow, the valve block is the next option isn't it?

 

[Houm_WA]

Hmmm...I suppose the front valve block would be next. I have been fortunate enough to not have a leak in ten years (knock wood). I had a shock go out (as mentioned) but zero leaks. I wish I could be of more help!
