Land Rover Defender L663 3.0 Ingenium diesel mild hybrid (D200–D350): air suspension check

Suspension · Defender L663 (2020 on) · 2021 on

How often: every 21,000 mi or 2 yrs, whichever comes first. If your vehicle has air suspension, leaks and a tired compressor are the usual faults.

Work safely: support the vehicle on axle stands, never a jack alone; let it cool first. Check figures against your workshop manual. You do this work at your own risk.

Parts

• Air spring (if leaking)

Tools

• Soapy water spray
• Diagnostic tool

Step by step

1. Park overnight on level ground; note any corner that has dropped.
2. Spray the air springs (folds at the bottom) and pipe joints with soapy water to find leaks.
3. Read the suspension codes; listen for the compressor running for long periods.
