- Well the latest news on my Range Rover L322 3.6 TDV8 suspension fault is …It's fixed!
No more dashboard warnings ‘’Vehicle Lifting Slowly’’ and ‘’Suspension Fault Normal Height Only’’
The Hitachi compressor was on its last legs but once serviced and bought back to life it was clear I still had more issues to find and deal with.
With cunning deployment of a GAP Diagnostics tool, a bottle of soapy water and the application of the old grey matter I tracked it down to a leak in the old air reservoir. So I replaced it with an original, brand new Land Rover Air reservoir tank.
If you want to know how long the repair took and the costs involved I detail those at the end of this video.
If you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer them based on my own experience of this repair. Just pop them in the comments and I will answer.
Great result in the end and what a saving. Well done, mate!! 👏
cheers @stevemendham342 👍 I'm pretty pleased I got there in the end 😊
Excellent series of videos. Thank you for taking the time to put them together. Look forward to any other videos you publish in the future.
Thank you @ceriwilliams5111 I really appreciate that 👍
Enjoyed the video , I admire people who take the time out to make them , while trying to diagnose and fix an issue ! Then finish with the positives . 👍
Hi! Great vidios! Maybe hit that tank with some rustproofing! Cant wait to se what gremlins will pop up next! 😊
Thank you and good idea! 👍
Really enjoying these videos. I myself own a 2008 with 171k on the clock so there’s no doubt I’ll be up against these issues in the near future. I replaced the thermostat housing on mine when I first bought the car and I dread to think what I would’ve been charged by a dealer to do that job! I’m about to tackle the radiator tomorrow as it has a small leak but apart from that it still drives lovely.
Looking forward to more videos 😁
Thank you @jamiemarshall2262 appreciate that 👍 and well done for doing the thermostat housing yourself, I’m confident we can keep these going for 30+ years and beyond and doing as many of the jobs on them ourselves is the way forward. Good luck with the radiator 🤞, slow and steady is the way.
Great job and videos, had an 2008 LR3 with suspension issue that I fixed overhauling the compressor. Stealership quoted me thousands. Now have a 2011 RR supercharged , 140k miles. Changed the compressor , but found the leak in the front right airbag. Once that was changed all good. You got me thinking about the reservoir.😮. However the price seems pretty good. I need to upgrade my diagnostic tool, I have the isoft. With these cars we’ll worth it. Bravo to you sir. I am based on the east coast USA.
Well done you I would love one of these but scared to death of costs as I could on afford an older one anyway.
@tunnel7 Thank you 👍 They are fantastic cars and I’m a huge fan but they can require either a pot of cash put aside to keep them going or as I have chosen to get stuck in and fix as many of the problems as I can 🙂
Amazing video. Great information thank you
Glad it was helpful! 🙏
Great fix and what a saving, to me its a no brainer just to do a service on the compressor its like any compressor it will need a service. For the milage it's done and on UK roads over the seasons of rain and salt I dont think its done bad at all, and the price of doing the work yourself for ( to me looked like an easy job ) was pretty cheap esp for the comfy ride it gives you , dont understand people that buy these cant be bothered to do a search on people like yourself to then change it to a coil spring.
Brilliant job 👌👌.
@cicerotwo thank you 👍
I have same suspension faullt code C1A20-64 on my land rover lr3 , i didn't have any codes until i replaced all control arms and air bags springs and front height senors and air compressor , i switch from hitachi air compressor to a arnott and valve block for air compressor and i have faults C1A20-64 & C1A08-1C i cannot figure out the dam issues, this rover is possessed 😊
Really good series of videos thanks for the input 👍
Glad you like them! 👍
great series on the L322 air suspension, thank you Sir. My 2006 4.2 SC is giving the same fault code and moreover, it drops over 4 5 days on all corners, uniformly. Did yours drop in anyway?
@cosminstaicu6522 thank you sir 👍, mine did not sag / drop overnight or over a period of time when standing. If it had I would first suspect a leak/s in the air spring/s and investigate this first. The reason being that if there is a leak in an air spring, while the vehicle stands and it detects that it is not level within a tolerance it makes automatic adjustments to try and level itself and eventually the vehicle will be all the way down either on the front , back or all 4 corners on the bump stops.
Hope that helps track down your problem, Good Luck 🤞
@@car-repairs-diy-at-home I see, it adjusts downwards. If a specific corner drops, than it automatically brings all corners to that level. Thank you!
nice job ,i dont have any error codes but my near side rear will drop over night ,airbag replaced valve block seals replaced still the same tho ??????? possible airline fault ?
Thank you @markburton4681 👍 If there is definitely no leaks from the air spring itself and the valve block solenoids are serviced and working then I agree I would be looking for an airline / connector leak and spraying every connector with soapy water to see if I can track it down starting with the line to the recently installed air spring. If you have access to a calibration tool I would also check suspension heights and recalibrate the suspension after replacing air spring. As you don't have any fault codes it does sound like you have an airline leak somewhere. Good luck 🤞
Where did you buy the oem kit
@22gukwaley41 I purchased the compressor kit from X8R, you can see the website and what I ordered in the 1st video in this series at this link:

who did you use to purchase the reservoir tank ?
@michaelbrownhill8776 , I ordered the air reservoir from Maltings Off Road Ltd based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Good price, ordered am on a Monday and it was delivered next day! Can’t ask for more than that 🙂
