Land Rover Repair: Stuck in Access mode, but no EAS Fault message centre message, eas, unlock

Question
Hey okay so I am the owner of a 2000 land rover range rover hse. I went off-roading tonight, the ground was wet, it wasn't an actually legitimate course, just some ground and puddles, there were some ridges where my car dipped down, and I think that it may have gotten hit at that point, but the worst that could have hit the bottom is a softball sized rock. After offroading i got back onto the normal road. shifted back to my normal gears. everything appeared fine. at this point the suspension was fine and everything. So I hit the road to go to a friends house. my car felt stiffer than usual, but i shrugged it off and continued to drive. all of a sudden this bumping kicked in. this repeated up and down bump, that felt like riding over speed bumps. it would come and go. when i reached my friends house. i realized my car was low. very low. it was stuck in access mode. i tried to put it in inhibit mode, and wait, but no avail still in access mode and no change. Keep in mind this whole time there is no eas fault message of any kind. The nearest land rover dealership is 20 minutes away and i don't think my range rover is in the condition to be driven. What could possibly be wrong? and what is the best course of action? I will start it again in the morning to see what happens, and if there is any change. awaiting your reply. THANKS in advance!!!!!!

Answer
it sounds like you may have un-seated a spring, the RR is trying to lift but all the air is dumping out, the computer just hasn't given up and faulted out yet.   You can manually override the system (here: http://www.rover-renovations.com/kb_results.asp?ID=27) to determine if that's it, and which spring it is.  If the system is mechanically sound then you may have damaged a sensor.

If it does go into fault there is a free program available to run on your laptop to read/reset the faults and re-calibrate the system if needed:
