| 73160 mi | All dash lights, etc...flashing, special programs off, vehicle suspension height stuck on access height, etc... Update: right now it has somewhat fixed itself. Have an appointment next week at the LR dealer to to see if I have a leaky air shock or something, causing the compressor to run too much and fail prematurely. They'll be able to link up with the air suspension ecm and hopefully get it sorted out. Can't wait for this thing to be paid off so I can get rid of it !! |
