Air Suspension

[mikeford]

Probably been asked before, but does the D4 suspension lower to an intermediate height at a pre determined highway speed, if so what speed. I cannot find confirmation of this anywhere, a friend of mine with a 10 year old air suspension range rover says his does this, also stating that if towing a trailer the feature is disabled ensuring greater trailer stability. Clever people please provide confirmation if possible.

160km/h but must be sustained for a period of time..

Once it lowers the steering tightens and it becomes a 2700kg Go-Kart...

Interestingly it does about 10.5l/100km at that speed.

Yes, it lowers 20mm once 160 km/h is sustained for more than 5 seconds, and rises again once the speed drops to 130 km/h for 30 seconds or more

You could fit one of my kits and set the switch to low for the same effect at any speed. However you would probably want to get more benefit than that to warrant the expense.

If only we had our own Autobahn:(:(

Apparently The BFG does have his own private autobahn:):):):):)

Even the "little ones" go ok...

Only because it may, or may not, be in a Loan vehicle.. [emoji56]

And because I may, or may not, have sent said photo to Service Advisor with the caption "Goes alright" [emoji48]

Is that market specific? Or just full stop?

Perhaps the handling dynamics are good enough..

[Graeme]

N/A on the L494 anywhere nor on the L405 so presumably wont be on the new Disco either but I know one L494 owner who makes regular use of it.

I've dropped my L494 20mm a couple of times, but couldn't feel any difference in handling other than the car being caught out on fast bumpy corners.

With a camper trailer fitted, the DSC triggered more often.

Cheers,

I find that my L322 with CVDs can feel the bumps too easily on -20mm on secondary roads and the L494s are a lot closer to their lower limit than my vehicle. The L494's access height is barely 20mm above the bump-stops whereas my L322 is at least 50mm.
