Thread: Sagging rear end - air suspension

Hi Daisy Driver, we had the same problem with our Discovery II. Our problem also did not trigger any fault codes relevant to the air suspension. The dropping of the rear suspension was caused by a leak in one of the airbags.

As Alpick and TerryO have suggested, first select the raised suspension mode (off road). Then squirt water mixed with dish washer detergent or similar on the airbags. Remember to squirt the detergent on the top of the airbag at the connector and the lower part of the airbag that rolls down when it is at normal height. If there is a leak, there will be a mass of bubbles around the puncture.

After replacing the airbags with new ones made by Contitech in Germany last year, we haven't had any further problems with the rear air suspension.

We got back from holiday on Monday straight into packing and yesterday all our worldly goods went down the road in a big metal box marked 'MAERSK' - next stop Sydney. We follow at the end of the month. In the absence of my spanners Daisy is off to the dealer on Monday to have the suspension done, I am leading the horse (mechanic) to water and have told them to check the airbags first. I will keep you all posted on progress.
