Yes an alignment will fix the issue. I had the same issue a couple of times after replacing some suspension components and needed to get the car aligned. Make sure you take it to a reputable shop that knows how to perform alignments on these cars.

I took my car to wheelworks here in Cali and they could not do it and end up making the alignment worse and got all the same errors you are getting.

if you keep the car below 55 you should be able to drive it with out the suspension lowering.

Good luck.

firestone does a lifetime...I think it was $170. I’ve already gotten my money’s worth. ~5-6 alignments in a year... almost every oil change. Tire rotation $15. I’ve never felt out of alignment there but have to set it in tight tolerance mode (using gap iid) to make sure it’s as tight a range as possible

Yep! I thought so. Some will not do the deal stating their equipment can’t do it, but most of the new ones will. I had one shop say no, but two others agree. Don’t quote me on the price...but I know it was not much more than a single alignment. Well worth it in my book. For as long as you own the truck.

I use the Firestone lifetime as well. I've only been twice since I bought that package, but that alone makes it a wash. It's gravy from here on out.

Ok so this sounded too goo to be true, but i called them and they said:
“Only some locations have the newer machine that can handle the air suspension on a 2012 land rover, but your buddy is right. $189 for alignments for life. You can do it as often as you like. Only pay once.”

so basically that settles it for me!
Thanks for the tip!

UPDATE:

You guys were right! The alignment was waaaaaaay off and after Firestone got their hands on it, its all better now. No more codes. Happy Landy!!!

AND thanks to your tips, i now get alignments for life and won’t have to pay for them ever again! I’m super happy right now!

What is this gap tool you speak of? I got the Bearmach tool 'cause I'm supposed to be able to do things like turn off the TPM lights when I put snows on there without any TPMs 'cause my buddy gave me rims/studded Nokias on beemer rims, and you can release the parking brake etc.
