Hi Folks, When I park my '00 RR and return to it after, say, 20 mins and start it up, it liftes up a few inches, even though I didn't set it to 'access mode'. Is there a leak in the air system? I'm taking it in for its first service (horn doesn't work either- yet the fuse isn't blown!?) and am wondering if I should have them check it out. I got an extended warranty, so I might as well use it. Cheers, Paul. | ||

If you've got the extended warranty I would definitely get it checked out. It really shouldn't go down. Leave it overnight in the fully raised mode and check to see if it has gone down overnight. | ||

Paul, I did have an air leak in a rear air spring, and I too have an extended warranty. However my warranty company did not cover the spring. Everything else on the EAS they would cover , but not the spring. Also if the company I used (Western General),finds that you may have used the vehicle off-road, nothing underneath the vehicle will be covered either. So, after paying L/R a one hour diagnostic charge for finding an air leak that I knew existed and its location (right rear shock) I wound up replacing it myself anyway. Please read your extended contract carefully or perhaps call to verify that it is in fact covered first. And just from experience, when I am parked on an uneven location, my R/R will try to level itself out when parked. I have seen it drop to the bump stops on some occasions. On a level surface it will stay in the position it was parked in. I hope I helped you in some way. Ronnie | ||

Thanks Ronnie- my RR has a LR warranty. I have set it to the highest setting, as Pugsly recommended- we'll see in the morning. My concrete garage floor is pretty flat too! Cheers, Paul. | ||

No leaks! I set her to 'off road' level last night, and measured the distance between the tire and fender- same measurement this morning. But it's only a matter of time... Cheers, Paul. | ||

When everything was working right, my RR would sit for a few days in the exact same height, that is on level ground. I did however have air leakage when it was very very cold. | ||

Dito on the cold and the EAS going down. My experience is that the O-rings in the spring top end caps and at the manifold block in the engine compartment are the problem not the bladders. McMaster-Carr Supply has them. 25 for $10.44 partnumber is: 9263K215 5.6mm ID, 2.4MM section thickness, Viton, Shore A: 75, Black, -15° to 400°F. http://www.mcmaster.com/ |
