Meet my new favourite grumpy old man on YouTube

In part 3 the corrosion underneath is unbelievable what these cars suffer in northern climes. Wonder anything can work at all.

I have seen pics of air tanks rusting from inside out in the northern climes.

Hi all, I just bought a Disco 3, and the whole vehicle seems to from overnight from normal height down to access height. Does this sound like a leak from near the compressor somewhere or self levelling from a single bag leak or somewhere in that vicinity.
This is my first experience with air suspension, and only my 2nd ever land rover, previous was a disco 1 that I sold after getting it roadworthy, too much body roll for my liking.

Could be lots of things.
A leak and the vehicle is relevelling and working its way down.
Corner valve leaking causing same sort of issue.

Or other faults.

Pull the EAS fuse and leave it a day or two,and that will give you more ideas as to what is wrong,hopefully.

A GAP tool is also helpfull to check the system,gallery pressures, etc.

Been there done that quite a few times with our D4,frustrating once their are problems with the EAS.

Thank you scarry. I took out fuse#26 last night, and this morning its all up in the air still, which I'm hoping is a good thing to narrow down options a bit. GAP tool? I do have a diagnostic scan tool, but it doesn't show me much on the disco. Might have to take out a loan and buy one suited to LR.
