Adaptive Dynamics is separate to the air bags and suspension height stuff.

Mine did this yesterday when I started it, and suspension was very stiff for first few miles. Stopped and restarted and been fine since. I put it down to the very high ambient temps.

As said recheck the wiring but a scan with a GAP IID tool will likley be the best way of identifying the exact location of the problem. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Rechecked and stripped previous repair and found the cracked wire. Have now replaced a section with new wire, soldered and protected with heat shrink so probably good for a while .

What you have to bare in mind is that the top of the strut that the wire comes out from rotates when you steer. To do a successful repair you have to use very flexible wire and heat shrink and keep the heat shrink to a minimum... also don't secure the wire to tight, you have to allow it to rotate....

I removed the cable retaining fitting from its hole to allow the cable more freedom to move. |

Is that the rubber like grommet? |

Soldering isn't going to be a long-term repair on a moving electrical harness, it will create a non-flexing section which will in turn mean that the wire strands either side have to move more and will therefore fracture sooner.

No, not the fitting in the vibration damper, instead the clip that restains the cable some distance from the damper which then allows much more length for the movement that occurs when turning. |
