i have a 2004 range rover n sometimes if i let t car sit for a day or 2 t batt will all of a sudden just die n t key wont turn. The battery is less than 1 year old. I have taken it to t dealer n they said tat the batt is good but it has a low charge. when i also start it like after putting gas in sometimes when i turn t key to start it just makes a click sound n when i try it t second time it starts right up. Also when i have t music up really loud i notice tat my dash lights n the message board display lights flicker to t beat of t music when its up really loud.

I just had this problem too. In fact, I've been having frequent problems with the air suspension ever since it got cold during the winter.

After having conversations with several LR dealers, service stations etc. it seems like this is the computer protecting the various components when it senses a fault in one of the systems. After a certain number of cycles without sensing a problem, it will reset the systems.

My best guess is that the air suspension is causing all of the problems. Since the system is run with rubber bags, the cold air causes them to shrink, thereby compromising the seals' integrity. This causes slight leaks. (ever notice your RR sitting significantly lower after a being out in the cold?) When the computer senses the leak, it shuts the system down.

I'm keeping a close eye on mine the rest of the winter. My opinion is that many of these problems will go away once it warms up consistently again.

I got the "Air suspension inactive" error come up about 3 weeks ago. I have the compressor replaced and it went away. Early this week it came back, they told me that I had a leak in the right front air strut. so i replaced both of them. This morning I turn it on and The error is back. Has anyone else had a problem like this, and what was their solution? I got the "Air suspension inactive" error come up about 3 weeks ago. I have the compressor replaced and it went away.

i have an 03 range rover with 80,000 miles on it. It is a beautiful ride. I have made just my 3rd payment on it an all of the sudden the check coolant message appeared, the check low beam message came on, and then finally the air suspension inactive message appeared. I had the coolant flushed and replaced. I haven't bought the lightbulb yet since the dealership wants 366 just for the bulb. I called to check on the inactive message, gave the VIN and found out there is a recall on this car. I took it in for the recall to be fixed. They have to rebuild the front differential. This has nothing to do with the air suspension though. They did the diagnostic test and determined the compressor is shot. I thought the same about the cold weather, but they say it is the compressor. The cost on that to replace is over $1,000! They also say I need front brakes. I have an 07 truck I paid much less for and haven't had to put a dime in it other than the oil changes. Glad to hear it just isn't me. Sounds like a bad ride to me. i have an 03 range rover with 80,000 miles on it. It is a beautiful ride.

I have the exact same problem. The truck seems to be driving fine, but can someone diagnose this?? I have the exact same problem. The truck seems to be driving fine, but can someone diagnose this??

04 RR with the same problem- "air suspension inactive". The dealer tries to tell me its a uncommon problem..lol. They also want $1,600.00 to replace the air compressor. 04 RR with the same problem- "air suspension inactive". The dealer tries to tell me its a uncommon problem..lol.

I hear you DJ. My 2004 HSEis a nice vehicle, but is the most unreliable vehicle I've ever had. I thought that I was buying quality, but was wrong. I've had a front driveline, water pump, transmission, transfer case, and alternator go out in addition to numerous other smaller issues. Now, for the third time on vacation with my family, some type of gas hissed out front the left front side of the vehicle which is now leaning heavily over the front tire and is not drivable. Obviously it has something to do with the suspension system. Does anyone know what has probably happened and how much it will be to repair? Is it time for me to consider the suspension conversion that I've heard about, and how much does that cost? I hear you DJ.
