2013 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 XS Auto Nara Bronze

New purchase

So I have lurking around here for a while and have finally bought one!

62 plate XS Nara bronze with a few extras absolutely love it. It's a a little different from my other lands 300tdi 90 but they complement each other well.

However it was all going well until yesterday a Amber suspension warning triangle appeared on start up. No restrictions on raising or lowering and no appeared problems with ride etc. Need to get the fault codes read! I have searched the fault but frankly crapped myself at the amount of result

I guess there is nothing obvious to check until codes are read?

Cheers

Ps will post pic shortly.

2013 Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 GS Auto Loire Blue

Worth checking battery voltage ... lots of similar warnings seen on here when running low / not charging fully. I had similar issues with warning lights when I first got mine and new battery sorted.

If it's a 2013, chances are it's on its original battery, which could be nearing the end of its useful life. Worth checking first.

Thanks guys. Will check health of battery today.

If it is the battery would the faults logged reflect this or would they be spuriously generated faults as a result of low battery charge?

Cheers

Look how it looked this morning? Probably more of a hardware fault?! When I started the car it didn't raise on its own. i had to select the switch to raise it to normal height. Before I selected the switch was flashing. Looks to me like it could be a leak?

Image didn't load! Anyway just nipped out this morning and whilst waiting in car park I raised suspension up. I got out and could here compressor running constantly. When I came out of shops it would not start! Wait 5mins and got it to turn over.

Probably the fault with compressor / air system is hammering battery on a short journey.

Some pics of both beasts.. Went for a spin in the defender this evening after driving the D4 all week and it's certainly an onslaught to the senses. I guess after driving it as a daily for 5yrs I must have just got Acclimatised.
