| Suspension fault error light ........ |
|
This is probably covered elsewhere but I'll ask a general question
Got this error a while ago and the dealer replaced some sensor or other to fix it. Now I have experieced the fault again. I restartted the car a couple of times and it went away ....... it came back on again this morning but is now Off after a restart at lunchtime.
I am going on holiday soon and wondered what the impact of these faults actually are if you are towing a caravan .....should I stop and report it (while going across france) or is it ok to drive? D3 05 SE (old one)
RRS 08 SE (new one)

Do you know if it was a suspension height sensor or an air pressure sensor?
TBH, i'd get it in to the dealers as it wouldn't be very nice trundling a tin tent across France at access height 
although Jezza would probably call it Divine retribution

I had or have the same problem. Suspension light randomly comes on showing suspension fault. Car drives perfectly ok though. I reported it and some software was downloaded but the fault continued to happen about once a week. I returned to the dealer and they said Land Rover is aware that there is a problem and until there is a new software download to deal with it, its going to continue to happen. HT suggested that when the light comes on, stop the car, switch off and start up again. This I did and it cancels the fault error message.
touch wood, this fault has not reoccurred for a few months. It seems to have self healed itself without further software downloads. D3 Buckingham Blue SE Auto

I used to get the error light (not for a while now) it happened when I was towing a trailer (loaded 2.8t) over speed bumps  I whould appear to me that the error came about when the sensor got a shock load but then this might be totally wrong

Pete57, did it occur during low temperatures? Did you also get a 'special programs not available' message?

Didn't get error message 'special programs not available' Just 'suspension fault'. It would come on in normal driving conditions. ie no bends, bumps etc. Strangely it hasn't happened for a couple of months. Having got the car last September and using it through the cooler months and the fact its not happened this Summer could be temperature related do you think? D3 Buckingham Blue SE Auto

The reason I ask is that I had a similar issue, which was basically the CAN bus shutting down, cause was the air mass sensor not liking cold air, fixed by a software upgrade to the engine ECU

After a bit of soft off-roading in France, I got this suspension fault error, which was a bit much as the tracks were passable for old 2CVs.
After a couple of times it did not reappear for about a 1000 miles but came on the other day after the car had to drive down the road to Sainsburys to be loaded with 5 bags of shopping
Has to be a dodgy sensor and to be honest, I wish that they could rip all this computer gubbins out because every trip I have had back to the dealer has been due to dodgy sensors/software. A waste of my time and theirs.
21st century mumbo jumbo is spoiling an otherwise great car.
