How the suspension system is evaluated
Air springs, reservoirs, valve blocks, compressors, height sensors and electronic controls work together, but the fitted hardware varies by chassis and options. A vehicle that sinks after parking may have an air leak; a vehicle that cannot rise may instead have a supply, venting, control or sensor problem. Record corner heights after shutdown and at repeat intervals. Read chassis faults and compare actual height readings with commands. Check for leakage and compressor overheating before replacing major components.
Manufacturer-specific considerations
Land Rover bulletin LTB00793NAS2 documents C1A13-64 on certain 2014–2016 vehicles where the suspension supply unit cannot vent because of an exhaust valve or silencer issue. LTB00604NAS5 describes a different front air-spring/damper hydraulic leak on certain Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles. Neither bulletin should be applied without VIN and equipment checks.
Repair confirmation
After repair, verify commanded raise/lower operation, stable parked height and any required calibration. Never work beneath an air-suspended vehicle without proper support.
Frequent compressor cycling may indicate an air leak, poor pressure retention or compressor performance problems.
How the concern should be diagnosed
Measure height changes after parking and inspect lines, bags and valves. Replacing only the compressor without addressing leaks may lead to another failure.
