So my rear suspension has gone on teacakes again. Last time it was after a tyre change when (after having all 4 lifted off the ground at the same time) the rear SLS dropped to the floor and the Disco bumped along like a dog with an itchy bum. It was under warranty from an independent dealer at the time, and he fixed it - I suspect by taking it to a local place with Rovacom or whatever and having it reset. It certainly didn't take long or cost much, or he would have made a much bigger fuss.
This time it started about 100m from home. Cause MAY have been exiting from our drive onto the road, which is a bit of an axle-twister and lets the LHS rear wheel hang down a bit, although it's done it a thousand times before with no trouble. The LHS rear wheel is now fully extended in an upwards direction and the car is virtually undriveable.
I've heard that disconnecting the battery for a while can sometimes make the various ECUs forget their troubles, so I might try that tomorrow. Any ideas how long for? (Yes, I have the radio code.) Any other suggestions before I bite the bullet and book it in?
On a slightly different point, if my guess (above) is correct, that would be two occasions where letting the axle(s) droop and the height sensors go out of limits has caused failure of the suspension. I can't believe that a vehicle intended to be used offroad in fairly adventurous conditions could have suspension that was so easily upset. Is this a design fault, or have I just been unlucky?
Advthanksance :-)
