Hi guys, i'm new in town!
Would appreciate some help with a suspension problem and after reading a few threads on here there seem to be an alarming number of them!!!!
Amber suspension light has been coming on for a week or 2 and further investigation reveals a fault which the Diagnostics are saying is 'Directional Control valve 1 - Current exceeding limits' or words to that effect.
Does anyone have any experience of this and its ease of putting right or am i going to be banging my head against a brick wall, a wall probably belonging to Stratstone in Swansea which incidentally is repairing it this Friday. If i'm honest i don't have a great deal of faith in them!!!!
Been quoted 2 hours labour and 90 quid parts which hurts as the car was only 3 weeks out of warranty when the fault 1st appeared.
Any views greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jase

Welcome on board - If you give it a few hours i am sure that the man who can will be along - bring on Bobby the font of all knowledge

I figure you have some sort of diagnostic tool.
Are there any fault codes in addition to the words? Malaysia Boleh!

Afraid not, its info i got from a specialist and subsequently from the main dealer.

As you are only 3 weeks out of warranty it might be worth contacting Land Rover Customer Services  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Breaking News.......Jst phoned the dealer for the fault code its.......
C1B03-19
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Jase

C1B0319 refers to a fault with Directional control valve 1.
Either the Directional control valve 1 circuit has very low resistance OR
the Directional control valve 1 circuit is short circuit to power.

The problem is you have to continue using the the diagnostic tool to check the directional control valve circuit in order to pinpoint the fault.

I think it is Dynamic Response related.The DCV's are non-serviceable and failure of a DCV requires replacement of the valve block assembly.

Afraid its a dealer job, sorry. Malaysia Boleh!
