In respect of the display message 'HDC inactive'. I have and still do occasionally get the same message. I took the vehicle to a Land Rover dealer and was informed it was a common problem particularly when the vehicle is started from cold and more so during cold weather. The dealers have it registered as a bulletin repair and are able to provide a remedial fix, however it's a case of the display message being present when you take it to the dealer!!!!!

SOURCE: hi.. i have a 2004

The EAS can have many different faults that will give the same warning. I have had several air susp problems. First try to disconnect the battery, wait several minutes reconnect then drive car making at least on full circle. If lights remain, air pump (under spare tire ) can be checked, also valve under a cover behind right front wheel, other than these areas, the Testbook diagnostic at dealer will determine if any other parts are source of problem. Unfortunately, with the complexity of the system many other parts Height sensors, etc, etc can also cause the error message. Good Luck.

SOURCE: Air suspension inactive, HDC inactive, ABS light on, Range Rover

Air Suspension Inactive usually means there is a problem with the Air Suspension. However, it will also come up when alternator or battery voltage is low, or when you reset (disconnect and then connect) the battery. To reset it manually: while in P(ark), turn steering wheel all the way left, hold few seconds, and then all the way right, hold few seconds. All the warning lights will go out. Most common failure is the passenger front air strut, since batteries are prone to leaking acid, it leaks right on top of the rubber airbag and burns through it. Dealer willcharge you one hour to diagnose, or you can easily diagnose this by looking at the ride height of each particular corner of the truck. If its sits low, or emits hissing sound when you park the truck, its leaking. If you keep driving with leaky air strut, you risk burning up the air compressor, as its working extra hard to compensate for the leak. Replacing the strut is easy 45min job even for a novice mechanic, and you can do it yourself. Strut can be found new for approx $750 online. If you are fed up with air suspension issues, there is a $700 kit that converts the truck to springs, and disables all of the air suspension. Look up Arnott Industires

2004 land rover range rover hse transmission is overheating and drives like it's in sand or mud. Also have air suspension inactive warnings along wIth HDC inactive suspension light dosent even lightup

check that you are not in 4 x 4 settings on hard surface as that loads up the transmission making it work harder
that it turn can over heat the transmission oil
check for correct oil level in transmission as too much oil or not enough will also heat oil
take it to an accredited service center that has experience on your make of vehicle for a diagnosis of all problems

What does hdc inactive air suspension inactive trans safe failure mean car will not stay started

This error could be casued by a poor battery - particularly in cold weather. If you suspect your battery may be in poor condition, try recharging it over night.

The error can also be caused by a worn suspension compressor.

You could visit a Land Rover dealership or if you wish to save yourself the heavy costs you could visit an independent workshop who can check your car's memory log which may provide further information regarding the fault.

Check www.rangerovers.net for further information.
