Had my front pads and discs changed last Saturday and afterwards the suspension was stuck in normal height with suspension fault on the dash every time the car started. Alternator gave up and was replaced. I drove it today and suspension in access height and suspension fault on dash. The switch for altering the heights does nothing and does not light up with a selected height level. LR said I needed a new battery but would have thought this would not not make suspension work.

Any ideas?

Faults getting tedious with the car at the moment

You might need to reset the EAS with a tool like the IID, but have you tried going from full lock to full lock on the steering x 2, with the engine on, cos I can't remember which way your supposed to turn first

If all the lights are out it is a hard fault, even if you fix the fault it won't come back until cleared with a diagnostic tool.

It could very possibly be caused by a dying battery, that can cause all kinds of faults, check battery voltage, should be 12.6volts with engine off and 14.4volts with it running, anything much less and the battery and/or the alternator need changing.

If you get the faults read it should tell you what fault you have....  Pete

They said my battery was not great and charged it and said may need a new one in the future. I would have thought that I would get transmission fault for s low battery first. Could it be the valve on the compressor?

The compressor hasn't really got a valve...

It could be...

Compressor, air tank, any one of three valves, any one of four sensors, any one of four airbags, ECU, etc etc...

You need to get the codes read and then cleared and see if they return, if it was the battery they won't return....

It could be the battery because if the battery voltage is low then the replies to the ECU from the sensors in the system will be low and out of spec... so the ECU thinks there is a problem and logs a fault....... Pete

it would no harm to drill a small hole in the compressor filter.. ... - .- -.

Stan the early ones don't seem to get blocked, they are just a wide space wire mesh, nothing like as solid as the later ones... and it still won't fix his hard fault, needs a dose of diagnostic tool.... Pete

Dealer think the compressor has burnt out but not 100% sure. They have ordered one for today and will fit and test it to see what happens. I did mention the valve on the compressor but they think mine may have burnt itself out so needs replacing.

wait and see then

I'd get them to check all the air bags on the suspension, my pump self destructed trying to keep up with an air leak in the front strut, the car was around the 100k mark at the time. if yours is near that mileage then you may have a hole in spring  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

Had the same fault this morning started car supension lights went out car dropped to low position . Switch of ign left for 10 mins & disconnected batt left for 15 mins connected back up fault cleared been ok all day .

Compressor replaced, tested and all ok. Expensive couple of weeks with it Have also had compressor replaced before about 5 years ago from memory.

Mine has done 83k and as far as I am aware there are no leaks. It never sinks when left but will check it as car is not used every day anymore.

I found the only easy way was to put it in off road mode, as the air bags are folded over themselves in normal. When I put mine in high and turned off the engine, it sounded like I had a pit of vipers under the front arches Hissing Sid eat your heart out  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
