suspension fault...my plan of action...

past 7 days getting a suspension fault bong .has happened 3 time now.
all suspension settings work.
air pump starts and shuts promptly without a problem.
the air pump well is bone-dry
no limp mode issues.
but today the car level is incorrect( but i can change the ride height with ease). the car is sitting to high. even in access mode it is higher then it should be.
there is no hissing and the suspension is level.
i have plugged in my OBD. there are no faults stored( although i know that RR/indie will pick them up)

so the problems could be

1) battery/alternator although both were changed exactly last year
2) hight level sensor

any other ideas please?

plan of action
1) take to my local indie for battery/alternator test
2) check level sensors?
3) fault reading and hard reset

anything else i should do ?
cheers

p.s i have recently submitted a thread re. a temperamental remote heater fob that my need resync and a head unit that shut down with the message "excess temp shutting down' could this be electrical related? CANBUS?
any suggestion please...
thanks 2011 4.4 TdV8 Nara Bronze

well MR ....

Giving the problem to solve by your knowledgeable indie sounds as a good plan
Thumbs Up

it is NOT an alternator fault (might be a sensor)

i have no history of the compressor being changed.
there is no water ingress in the area .
the car lifts rapidly and drops rapidly on command as many time as required. there is no slowing down after changing height a couple of times.
the compressor starts and stops promptly as well.

on the way to the dealer..Marshall LR of Melton Mowbray
the car went into limp mode and collapsed.
wife was driving and really worried but luckily only 5 mins away from dealer.
dealer plugged in and did a hard reset.
the hight is back to normal and no issues.
there were so many stored faults that the dealer said a bit hard to pinpoint the exact issue..
so drive it away and see what happens..
also mentioned could be an old compressor..
will def clean out the brass filter tonight and keep recovery tel no handy..

my issues are similer to

Marshalls did not charge for this service. the second time they have looked after the car for goodwill only..great service Thumbs Up 2011 4.4 TdV8 Nara Bronze
