Air suspension?
 

Hi all,

I have a 3.0d sport it has the self levelling front and rear axles, I think the 4.8 have this as standard. Is this suspension "air suspension" as they have in the discovery and Range Rover?

Thanks

it's similar, but the X5 is more designed for light off-roading...like going over gravel, the air suspension in the Land Rovers are designed for heavy off-roading and have a bit more travel / articulation as well as selectable off-road programs for the traction control and the diffs

Thanks for the response mrkbbd, so it is fair to say that it has all round air suspension?

if you have a switch on the right (you're in the UK so I'm assuming right-hand drive) with three green lights next to the headlight control then you have the adjustable full air suspension, if not you just have auto-leveling rear suspension, which just compensates for heavy loads

cool thanks again. I do have the switch so it's all air which is rare on anything other than a 4.8 :)

Does the rear air suspension also compensate for roll or lean angle when cornering or is it simply for the compensation of heavy loads?

I have an 02 E53 X5 3.0d euro. I assume I also have air suspension in both front and rear. Is my understanding correct ?

only if you have the self levelling axle front and rear as mentioned before if you have the switch which lowers or raises the ride height then yes you have

I believe it just compensates, I don't even think the full air suspension does that

Does anyone know for certain what the function of the rear air suspension is?
