If the bag hasnt completely failed (punctured or worn to leaking) they can come "unseated" from the base at the bottom of the "bellow" or bag. Not very common but possible. Alternatives to dealer parts and installation checkout ARNOTT air springs. The bag alone runs about $100. If you can afford it replace both fronts with the ARNOTT new generation one piece airspring. The are easy to install and offer little or no headache. Lastly, if you are a fan of the unsurpassed comfort of your Range Rover air-ride suspension, dont let anyone talk you into the coil spring conversion. Its not the same level of comfort and you will feel a big difference in handling. Good luck!

SOURCE: range rover problem air bag suspension

I would recommend going to strutmasters.com and taking a look at our conversion kits. these convert you from the airbag to a powder coated American made steel coil spring that is guaranteed to last the life of the car. Airbags and compressors are constantly having to be replaced. Also something alot of people don't know is that theses air suspensions are not meant to be in temperatures above 90 Degrees or below 40 Degrees. That is most of the world. The temperature will cause you to replace alot of bags. and typically when your replacing a bag you are going to have to replace the compressor to because the bag had a hole or small crack in it causing the compressor to over work and it will die. I posted the link below so you can take a look

I hope I was of some help

Good Luck!!!

SOURCE: i have a 2003 range rover the air suspension inactive came on

it could be from many reasons...sometimes even the ABS system will cause this fault or even the Steering position Sensor. if it comes and goes then inspect your height sensors as the early version of the height sensors are getting weak and like melting so it gives wrong reading which cause the fault...offer more info. and you'll get your solution

My 2003 range rover is reading air suspension inactive and it will not go

Try using a scanner to read codes or re-activate, also have a look at the air suspensions bag/balloons, might have a leaky one. If so change, check air suspensions activator unit too. Valves may ber bad.

I have a 2003 Range Rover HSE, I have an air suspenion inactive message on the dash cluster. The rear of the truck is lifted very high, with one side of the front lower then the other. I also notice that...

Releasing all pressure in the system can be achieved by removing the fuse to the suspension compressor and carefully loosening any airline in the system and letting the car bottom out, This will not fix anything. Without a good diagnostic computer check all the ride level sensors first, easy to check with a voltmeter for continuity.

Air suspension out (inactive ) code


1. The automatic suspension system on a Land Rover must be placed in a service mode (High Lock) prior to raising the vehicle on a frame-contact hoist. This can only be accomplished by using a Land Rover Test Book Scan tool or an aftermarket equivalent.

2. If the suspension is allowed to hang freely at maximum extension, the suspension controller will enter a fault lockout mode and disable the compressor and height sensors

3. In addition, the suspension system will vent the suspension in an attempt to bring the vehicle to a correct ride height.

4. Since the suspension is hanging free at maximum extension, all the air will be vented, causing the vehicle to sit at maximum low when taken off the frame-contact hoist. A Land Rover Test Book Scan Tool or an equivalent is required to reset the suspension once it has entered the lockout mode.
