Landrover LR3 Suspension won’t raise Diagnosed and Fixed

[@stanleyharrris7671]

There are rebuild kits for these pumps. Pistons, seals, desiccants, etc. are very easy to rebuild. When the bags have been fully deflated, they take a few cycles to totally inflate. Another good practice is to move the pump to the engine bay, much less moisture, and is easier to diagnose and fix if there is a future problem.

interesting suggestion to move the pump to the engine bay - there is a space where a back up battery is often located . Have you made this modification ? Is it fairly easy to do ? presumably re-routing the pipes ?

[@Cliffordrussellpsyc]

so do i check the fuse are relay if the console switch doesn't light up

Tienes que cerrar la puerta para que suba la suspensión

[@skullbiker3640]

I had a LR3 and now a RRS which has the same suspension system - a common fault is a hairline crack in the "frontplate" to the chamber with the crystals in it . A very affordable Billet aluminum frontplate is available as a kit. I am just about to remove my compressor and fit one of these billet aluminium frontplate and see if that solves my problem.

Nothing wrong with the old pump, all you had to do was clean the drier, and strainer fill it up with new molucils balls and the old pump would work again

I've seen some rotten air driers on these, that's one of the worst. It may have survived a rebuild, but it's been blocked for so long that the piston seal will be shot.

Shut the door to get suspension to activate

[@DiscoGruffalo]

It has a fault, so it won't raise.

[@fernandoquevedo9344]

The suspension didn't raise if the door is open brother! I will try to disassembly my compressor, thanks.

[@vitalychikov7205]

It's cool!!! How long it will working?

[@akbarhoosain3968]

The suspension won't lift if the doors are open

[@slord9981]

Did you try again with the door closed

[@WILLIAMEMMANUELOYUGA]

GREAT

[@AS-ig1uq]

Before I drive 2 hours to go pick one up. Will it drive at full speed? It at least 55 with the suspension not working?

[@2EZEverything]

Yes I believe it can drive fine if the suspension is completely dropped

[@AS-ig1uq]

Can you drive one when it won't lift? I found one for sale. But the suspension won't lift. Can I drive it home to fix it?

[@davidmaestas3547]

You should be fine, I would avoid if it is long distance or if you have to drive on the highway. It will just be super bouncy!

[@AS-ig1uq]

I have to drive it about 2 hours home after that not far. I will fix it once it's home. Anything that might hit under it​@@davidmaestas3547
