Howdy,
After having at them for a year, just took the plunge on a very well cared for 05 LR3 HSE. Having around 60,000mi on it, it's pretty immaculate. Services have been kept*up. Most recently, the control arms/air compressor have been replaced.
Had it inspected by both, the local LR dealership and a very well respected/established garage. Both confirmed that tires/brakes would need replacing soon. Knew this. Otherwise, in great condition.
Three things I've noticed:
1. Owing to the fact the compressor was replaced, I'm guessing it isn't the problem. Air leak? Not noticing any sagging. Will test for it, tho. The mechanic advised the previous owner that the airbags were in good shape.
2. Airbag light seems to be related to the driver's seat position. Any common failure points?
3. This thump seems obvious, suspension control arms.But, I have a receipt from where they were all done. Stabilizer bar bushings? Seen that mentioned a few times. Will check driveline for any play... as well as suspension. It's like a tire going flat, tho. What do you all think?
Thanks for your help.

Three things I've noticed:
- Very occasional suspension fault. Clears w/ restarting.
- Intermittent airbag light
- Thumping from the front end at low speed in a slight turn
