Hi all,

Just reading the manual and I'm at this section and was just wondering what is meant by this fail "(a) A gas, air or fluid suspension system inoperative" on Range rovers I suspect it means if one side has lost the air and collapsed? Not sure what it means regarding gas or fluid though? And are we supposed to operate the suspension to check it works? Would be interested in your advice

Only at MOT time!

The old Citroens, whereby the brakes used the same fluid.
Suspension leakage was okay until you put your foot on the brake pedal and it went to the floor!
Then you pulled on the handbrake, and the cables were normally seized because of broken outer cover and water ingress with all the bending as they operated on the front wheels.
What a load of sh1te,

How about p&a, reduced damping.
