Not been under the car yet, I was kinda hoping a diagnostic would tell me.

Any lights on the dash for air suspension e.g. the normal ride / motorway lights? If no lights there it will need a hard reset (diagnostics required )

Unless you are lucky and it automagically comes to life (its been known to happen) you will need Allcoms/IIDTool/Hawkeye/T4 to bring suspension back to life, there is no quick fix / shortcut for this one .

Breakdown cover? Get the AA/RAC out? Technically unroadworthy... |

Exactly what happened to me on New Year's Day one of my front bag's burst and it's totally undriveable, be careful because the whole system will discharge the more you about with it and the whole thing drops onto the bump stops get it to a garage or if you're handy and have the tools get yourself a new strut and follow the wiki and do it yourself F**K IT you only live once |

Be very carful but due to the fact that both frond airbags are down I would say it is unlikely that both front airbags are broken. I only go out from my personal experience here. So it is safe to put a jack under it and jack it up in any way I would advise not to go higher than the off road height because the system is in lock down. And it could burst the airbags if you still have air in the tank. If you look at the system the valve block is underneath the right front mid side ( I have a LHD)

Fully appreciate where your coming from with the blocks of wood on the bump stops... But, are you getting confused with the P38? Ladder chassis design, old fashioned live axles... Not so sure A, that would work on an L322 with independent suspension... & B, how the UK courts would look at it if you lost control and had an accident

Well I have dropped the car off at the garage for them to find the fault.
