My Air Suspension Compressor is shot!

Brand spanker TDV8 bought in December and I get:

"Air Suspension Fault, do not exceed 30mph" !!

I slow down, car gets very bouncy, I pull over. I get out to take a look and it's like I'm driving some Max Powered chav-mobile it's that low!

I was only about a mile from my house so I crawled back, quite literally with the height of the thing. Got back and I was now riding in a hot-rod! The rear was at off-road height and the front was diving down almost scooping up the road!

LR assist appeared, told me my compressor was shot, tow-truck dispatched to come pick up my 'drag-racer'!

A little miffed. Not what I'd expect of a £55K car after less than 6 months.
Am I alone in having this drama? The chap from LR assist said there had been quite a few compressor failures in recent times but thought the problem had been addressed. not in my cases obviously. Local dealership where my car is now, has them on back-order. Says a lot to me.

United Kingdom 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

There were a few failures in the early days of RRS but I thought they had got over it with a fix. Might be worth asking if any of the Disco3 guys have experienced the same problem recently as they have the same suspension system to us. They are at www.disco3.co.uk A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

Turns out it was a sensor.

The LR assistance guy didn't think it was, because he carries those with him and I could have been on my way.

Anyway, at least should be back up and running. Hopefully no more low-rider/hot-rod funny business with the suspension for me!

Was going to say that a few others have reported these issues and it turned out to be a sensor... Very Happy

Let's not forget that a car doesn't get less prone to faults the more you pay for it Wink
