Call Atlantic British at 1-800-533-2210.  They can tell you the closest shop that has their LR software.  That's how I found mine.

Atlantic British doesn't do that any more, you will just need to find a shop that has something similiar to an Auto Logis scanner, that can help you.

My 2000 Discovery II has a slightly different problem. ONLY the left side sinks. Always after 15 min of driving. Let it sit awhile and it comes back up and then sinks 15 min later again. Could this be due to a leak in one bag and then the compressor shuts itself off for protection? It does not sink when left over night in either normal or off road positions. Only when being driven....

I''m suspicious that it may just need to be reset.

What/when do you get the SLS warning lamp? Mine does NOT come on with this problem. Will reading the codes help?

Thanks,
Rich

Whenever it comes to the SLS you need to have it looked at by a shop. Most likly you have a bad height sensor on that side. When it works it air up fine, when it doesnt, well it doesnt.

There''s one thing not mentioned in all the posts I''ve read about leaking air lines, and it''s one I''ve used with some success.
It seems the type of ferrule (brass donut) that they used for the compression fitting is engineered for the PVC (plastic) the lines mount to. As a natural result of time and vibration, they tend to weaken and the fittings invariably begin to leak.
What I did to overcome this issue is to add a touch of GOOP Plumbers sealant (available at ACE and Home Depot) to the line and ferrule BELOW the fitting. Installed before it dries, it creates a very tough seal against the future problems you WILL have if you do nothing.
Just be careful and keep the stuff out of the ends of your hoses! Once in, it''s tough to get out!
