On 3/11/14 the suspension warning light came on the dash. I took it to a local auto repair shop who had the diagnostic equipment for land rover (the closest dealer is 3 hrs away). The diagnostic indicated that the compressor for level control was faulty. The diagnostic indicated "recommend compressor replacement with updated compressor". The repair ship indicated that they have had to replace several of these. I then contacted the dealer in jacksonville to determine if there had been a recall. They replied no that they also have had to replace this with the "updated compressor" as the original factory installed ones had a design flaw. The replacement part was changed so that the problem would not occur again. I then contacted land rover north american to determine if they would reimburse
While operating my land rover lr3 at normal highway speed, approximately 55-65 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost all power to the eas (electronic air suspension). When this happened the vehicle lost all pressure in air system which maintained a safe ride height and stable handling.

During hot summer months, vehicle emits very strong gas fumes after driving. It only happens if there is 1/2 tank or more of fuel. This has happened at least a dozen times, and also occurred on the three-year older model that I had of the same vehicle. Supposedly, the fuel system was re-designed for the '08 model, but the symptoms are exactly the same. According to the service rep., she has three other customers with the same complaint. The fumes can get so bad that I am afraid to park it in my garage for fear of the water heater igniting the fumes. The fumes are noticeable in the family room of my house, as well as the bedrooms above. If the vehicle is out side, you can smell gas from twenty feet away. When in stop and go traffic, the fumes will enter into the passenger compartment
