New Owner needs some help PLEASE

[shotputtman]

Hello to all, sorry to create an account and ask for help straight away but i think i may have a problem with my new (to me) 1998 Range Rover DSE Auto.

The problem that has started over the past 2 days of owning the car is as i am driving along at the normal ride height (the one that looks like a dash) the air suspension warning light comes on in the dash display and the suspension ride height iluminates to the raised height. The one in the book that says for wading at 40mm extra height. This has happened a few times now and i am concerned that there may be a problem, i have spoke to the dealer i brougt it from and he passed me onto his Land Rover mechanic that said this cant happen and if there was a fault it would drop on its stops and report a fault on the dash.

Any help will be appreciated as if there is a major fault i WILL be going to see him next week...

Thanks in advance
Sean

Welcome to the forum.... how many miles and has any service been done recently to anything?

Hi, the car has 129,000 miles and has full stamped history... The only thing that has been done over the past few days is a set of new tyres that i had fitted... Last stamped service was at 123,000 miles.
Thanks

New tires, I would check the ride height sensors to make sure they have not been moved. Also if the tire shop did not lift the vehicle correctly this may have caused issues with the EAS and may require a reset.
