q-rover Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Did you get any fault messages? You could have an intermittent leak somewhere. Did you notice whether the car dropped to the bumpstops/ access mode, or it gradually sank. I have had something similar recently when parking in the garage at work. Outside it is singlefigure temps and damp, and then the car gets parked infront of the HVAC outlet for the buildings ventilation. When I come back in the afternoon, the offroad height light is on and the car sinks down to normal ride height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 press the air suspension inhibit switch on centre console before you switch off and see how it is in the morning. This will stop it changing height and if you have a leak in one corner that corner only will be down, not whole car. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawcospoff Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Thanks for the replys, but no I have no warning lights on, and the motor sank over night slowly I would immagine. I will press the inhibit switch like you say and see how it goes from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Steve Steve, the inhibit switch does not deactivate the self-levelling when parked, it only prevents the car from switchin between normal and highway with changing speeds. The surest way to make sure the car does not self-level is to leave the tailgate unlocked or disconnect the ECU-connector (either under the front seat or at the valve-block).

I've had 3 P38 Range Rovers, admittedly all post 2000 4.6's, and the inhibit switch does exactly as I described on all. So if it doesn't do it on all P38 RR's then this functionality was introduced at some point. I can assure you it disables the self levelling on all 3 I have had in the same way that the drivers door and rear tailgate open does if left overnight.

q-rover Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Simply remove the EAS relay from under the drivers (LHD) seat. Stops the EAS working. EAS switch on mine (97) does not stop the EAS from working. Mine will raise itself from access mode if making tight manoevers as the tyres rub. But then I have oversized tyres, and tend not to drive in access mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintman Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 http://www.rangerovers.net/fixindex.html Lots on air suspension. Should keep you amused for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be usefull though, so perhaps LR did listen to its customers and addressed this with the face-lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
