Normal to off road 1min15sec.

Anyone got any ideas. (D4 3lt )

leaky tank ?

That is slow. Mine does both transitions in <10 sec each and always has done.

(Edit) Yes, rear first as per the following posts.

On mine the back comes up first but the front is up very soon after. <10 sec's

As is mine, less than 10 sec but rear usually comes up first. 2008 D3

Yep, mine too - rear first, quickly followed by front - well less than 10 secs (D4 3.0). Sorry - sounds like a leaky system, as previously suggested.

Hi Roamer,

Had a similar issue and the system reported intermittent suspension faults. Eventually the front sat on its stops and then the back did the same; had to rush off to the dealer.

Diagnosed as a compressor overheating - $1500 for a LR (plus 10 days delivery) unit but purchased one from rovercraft overnight for $1000. Once fitted the issue was still there…turns out a hose and “banjo” connector were loose. Tightened this up and all was good.

I have suspicions as to the compressor being faulty – may just have been overworked due to the leak? Moral is, get it looked at before your compressor fails from overwork.
