Another Suspension Post

Good day all,

My LR3 Suspend Is dropping over time to the point where after two weeks it’s basically sitting on the bump stops.

My question is..... should I wasting time investigating or just going straight for the Valve Blocks?

Any particular problems I need to take into account when replacing the Valve Blocks or is it straight forward enough?

Thanks in advance.

Most cars your age will be in the bump stops after 2 weeks.

If it’s having to pump up after 1 days. Then yes service valve blocks by cleaning and replacing seals

I'd suggest having it diagnosed properly first, before throwing best part of £1k's worth of parts at it first Shocked My D3 Build Thread

Front one is easy.
Rear one is a right pain.

If you look at other posts you will see you can run the car and then remove a fuse.
Monitor height over a few days to see which corner drops.

With fuse in the car drops automatically to be level

Most people avoid breaking them.
Just difficult to get the thread started.
