Sounds like you need a 4 wheel alignment |

I thought that as well after ring round garages for the Hunter wheel alignment, the nearest was a kwick-fit garage. After booking it in for last satuarday morning I arrived, he asked me what car it was for and after i showed him the FF he made an excuse that the electics had gone faulty and had been sent back to bosch. Needless to say, thankfully it never happened |

I would agree, had the same thing in my Discovery. Fitted new tyres and fella recommended a 4 wheel alignment, 5-6 months later same symptoms. Turned out they had incorrectly aligned the car and over the months it kept compensating until it had reached its limits. Had a full alignment done (reputable indy) and the steering angle reset. No more 'bonging' and hitting the floor. Porsche 993 Targa, Buick Skylark Convertable 1968 |

I had the exact symptoms the op had, bongs, suspension dropped to the floor and lots of error messages.

You could try ensuring wheels are dead straight ahead and then go through the steering angle reset process with the IID tool. That may fix the issue. It sounds as mentioned that the last alignment done the wheels were not straight ahead when sensor was reset. I can't see it doing any harm given the current situation. I would then have car alignment done to make sure all is nice and straight |
