My 1998 range rover 4.0 (with over 170,000 miles), suspension keeps getting stuck in either the high or lower position almost twice a week now (it got increasing worse to this point). I love the darn vehicle and its the only one I have. My pocket is is quite empty right now and I cannot afford to either replace or redo the suspension since the dealer is saying it will cost $2200 or more to do either.
It seems to get stuck after about 65 miles of constant driving. It can go longer as long as it is driven short distances. And each time it gets stuck in the high position it eventually lowers to the bottom position where the erratic and uncontrolled bouncing occurs.
BUT IN EACH CASE THE DEALER IS ABLE TO RESET IT ALBEIT FOR ONLY A DAY BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. They always tell me that its due to a VALVE BLOCKAGE AND MOISTURE BUILD-UP. But they refuse to tell me which valve is it and how it is cleared and get reset. I am charged $95 .00 each time they reset it.
The dealer has recommended replacing the suspension with coil springs, otherwise the work to fix the current system will cost me over $2500. I don't have that much money. I get the feeling they are trying to force me to do it or else I am going to keep paying the $100 every time.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH VALVE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AND HOW IT GETS RESET?
