It's going in next week to be fixed, but I thought I'd consult the oracle to see what pearls of wisdom you might be able to impart as to what the problem is and we'll see who got it right!

Symptoms:
Front suspension (both sides) dropped to access height.
Rear suspension works as it should, raises and lowers.
Compressor cuts in and out as expected.
No hissing sounds from the front that I can detect.

My guesses:
Height sensor failed
Valve block fault

I'm not sure if I'm lucky or not, the car was used on Sunday last as a wedding car for my Daughter and was fine, I'd have been in right stuck had it failed then! Drives:

No real suggestions I’m afraid, but the 4x4 info screen will show you what level the height sensors are telling the car.

I'll play....

Either both front bags have failed at the same time (unlikely)

Or the common denominator between the two fronts is the valve block so I'll go for that....

Mind you, it's a fatty so it could be a fault with the sunroof etc....  Pete

Have you tried the steering wheel full lock to full lock trick?

If you jack up the front of the car do the lines on the centre screen move. Presume they are not in line with the rears at mo.

No idea Kevin and to be honest I'm not going to go into that level of checking, I'm going to leave it to the local indy to sort out next week. But thanks for the suggestion, it may well help someone. I used to love sorting out all my own car problems and when there's no time pressures I still do, but the daily drivers all go to the garage now (except for really minor stuff like interim oil changes).

Edit: Just had a look at the 4x4 info screen and it shows the front lower than the rear, but not full articulation (I don't think it's dropped onto the bump stops, so that would be correct). Drives:

Had nothing better to do earlier so I thought I'd have another play with the suspension. It was stuck in access mode and when I turned the ignition on I got the 'confirm suspension setting' notice on the dash. Pressed 'normal height' to see what would happen and up it came! Compressor cut out after a short while as it should so I chanced my luck and tried 'off road' height. It's now stuck in off road height with the 'suspension fault' message on the dash (there was no fault message before)! This is weird, but will have to wait to see when Indy can fit the car in to see what the issue is. Drives:

If it won’t come down, it’s normally the exhaust filter on the compressor blocked, so it can’t let the air out.

If it’s booked in, just be aware you can clean the filter or drill a hole in it….

Should get it down from off road height.

Worth a try.

Well, I thought the same, it’s worth a try. Took the filter off and tried it and all seemed ok, so tried drilling a hole in the end of the of the filter and all still seems to be working ok! Given how this started I would never have thought it could be this that was at fault! Anyway no faults showing on the dash and rise and fall all seem ok now.

Obviously being a cynic I expect it collapse the first time we go out in it, but we’ll see!

Thanks for the suggestion. Drives:

No worries mate. I saved myself over £700 doing that a few years ago. No issues since.

Mark fixes another one....  Pete

Well, the cynic in me was right! Went down as soon as I took it on the road. This time we have the system overheating message, so maybe it’s the compressor after all. I’ll let the garage find out! Drives:

Think there is a service kit for them, new rubber rings and seals etc. See what the garage recommend.
