Land Rover Repair: EAS Fault, range rover hse, flat tire


Question
Hello,
Please advise; I own a 97 Range Rover HSE with 63,000 miles. Over the past few weeks I've noticed problems with EAS after the car was turned off. At first, the front of the car would lower, but the rear end would remain elevated. Next, my passenger side deflated slightly lower than the driver side. However, during this time the car would stay level while it was on. I will include that, around this time I also changed a flat tire on the rear passenger side. I was hoping the level problem wouldn't stem to something greater, but it finally did the other day. While I was driving the EAS fault/35 max speed limit light show happened. Now the driver side is elevated, but the passenger side is practically sitting on the tires. My question is, from your experience does this sound like a faulty height sensor or would you recommend replacing the air springs on the passenger side (if either)?
Greatly Appreciate your Help,
Bret

Hi Bret,

Sorry for the delay, I forgot to set myself on vacation.

This sounds like leaks to begin with, and the compressor finally couldn't keep up.  Air springs should be replaced in pairs, you probably want to do all 4.  You may have also worn out your compressor.  That is pretty low miles, but the age is right for needing new springs.  If you have been running with small leaks for a while that would accelerate wear on the compressor.
