2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Stornoway Grey
Height sensors

Had the suspension bongs go….first yellow, then red.
Max speed 30mph etc
All air out of the bags, and the car was on the bump stops
Like a pogo stick to drive
Suspension will raise when system had cooled etc….

But I could hear no leaking air
The compressor did not sound over worked

Managed to get a trolley jack under the front offside to have a look where I had a new air spring last august
Nothing wrong with air spring
But hello….what’s this I thought
The height sensor was obviously broken, with the link that runs from the forward lower suspension control arm to the sensor snapped, and freely hanging loose
Resulting in the suspension sensor being out of position giving cause for the suspension errors
A manual re-adjustment of the sensor, a bit of super glue and electrical tape, and the suspension works normally again
All error messages gone

All I can think is some road debris must have smashed the linkage whilst driving along
There is no guard to the linkage

Anyone else had the same problem ?

Breaking height sensors is a popular pastime for Range Rovers, they do it with great regularity... Hence the number of ones for sale on eBay...

It won't stay fixed for long so don't forget to change it, and have a good look and wiggle of the others... Thumbs Up Pete

Hi Rambles,
did you make a picture of that broken height sensors ?
As a reference for future victims ?
Cheers

The originals last for years and don't cost a lot... I suppose if you're going to keep your fatty for ages it maybe worth it... Thumbs Up Pete
