LDV air suspension
Discussion
Anyone on here have knowledge of LDV air suspension, what's it supposed to do, how's it operate, adjustment etc
As I have a 3.5 LDV Ambulance that I want to check the suspension is working correctly. Always seems too low at the rear. The air pump cuts in when you start the engine and after a while cuts out with the vehicle lifted higher that it was.
There also seems to be a swwitch on the rhs of dash that I think has something to do with suspension, but not sure what !

Wow thanks for all that info, I knew I could trust pistonheads for the 'knowledge !'
Extremly comprehensive, and now gives me something to work on. You were right it is a failry old LDV (1994 ish)
The pump seems to be ok as it does raise the bed ok everytime you drive, although I still think a bit too low but does seem to be within spec according to the sticker on the van.
Now I know about the dump valve (switch)I will be leaving that alone as I shouldn't have the need to lower quickly
When I measure underneath for sping height I think one side is longer than the other and hence the van sits at a slight lean what would be a cause for that ? Airlock ?
Again many thanks for the info and at least I know the system is functioning as it should all be it with a slight leak over a period of time (worse if we sleep in the back overnight !), a slight lean, and too low for my liking (far too much room between front wheels and arches)
