Uneven Ride Height

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It's really helpful to hear from someone who's dealt with the same issue. I'm actually getting mine looked at next week. Just wondering, do you remember roughly how much the whole repair set you back? And has everything been running smoothly since the fix, or have you noticed any other quirks?
Hey there! Just wanted to follow up about your question. Since I got the air suspension compressor fixed, my Range Rover's been running like a dream, no more bouncing or uneven stance issues at all. The repair cost me 890€, which covered the compressor replacement. Honestly, while it wasn't cheap, it was totally worth it to get the proper fix done. The ride quality is back to being super smooth, just like when I first got the car. Haven't noticed any other quirks or problems since the repair, it's been performing perfectly for several months now. The technician really knew what they were doing with the air suspension system. I'm actually really glad I went ahead with the repair when I did, because apparently these issues can get worse if you leave them too long. Let me know how your appointment goes next week, hope you get yours sorted out as smoothly as I did!
Just got back from the mechanic and wanted to update you! Thanks again for sharing your experience, it really helped me know what to expect. The mechanic found the same issue, a failing air compressor with moisture damage. They got it all fixed up, and while my wallet's a bit lighter (ended up being about 950€), the difference is like night and day! The ride is super smooth now, and the car sits perfectly level again. Had a bit of a laugh with the mechanic because he said I brought it in just in time, apparently another month or two and it could've been a much bigger headache. He also gave the rest of the suspension a once-over and everything else looks good. Really appreciate your help with this. It's such a relief to have it sorted, and now I know exactly what to watch out for in the future. Time to enjoy my Range Rover the way it's meant to be driven!
I've been through exactly this with my 2017 Range Rover Sport Hybrid. The symptoms you're describing match what I experienced, uneven height and that annoying bouncy ride. Last month, I had my air compressor replaced. The old unit was struggling to maintain consistent pressure in the air suspension system. It was a serious repair that took two days in the shop. The technician found moisture buildup inside the compressor unit, which had caused internal corrosion. They had to replace the compressor, dryer unit, and a couple of valve blocks. These components work together, so when one fails, it often affects the others. It's not something you want to ignore, driving with a faulty air suspension can damage other expensive components. Hope this helps give you an idea of what you might be dealing with. Definitely get it checked soon.
