| New owner. suspension questions |
|
hi guys. I have finally managed to get a V8 disco3my self yesterday 
i don't know much about the car yet, so i wanted to ask you this...
when I switched the car off last night the suspension did a poufnoise and the car started to get lower. is there any way i can prevent this? because i don't want for the suspension to work all the time with no reason.
thank you... J.p

Nope - the car will periodically do this to ensure that it stays level

What...  Never heard the Citreon XM...? Or the Mk3 Espace with self-levelling rear suspension...? I don't know, and you being French as well...   The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

Jean-Paul, just drive it and enjoy it, suspension will take care of itself
Nothing lasts forever but I don't think there's anything you can do that will shorten or lengthen the suspensions lifespan The End

As you have an early build be prepared that you may have tp replace the compressor at some point.
Make sure you clean out the compressor housing if you have been in the mud. It can cause the compressor to run hotter than normal. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
