I am afraid there will be not much help here.The only thing which will help will be to take the car to a dealer or an independent shop to read the faults from EAS ECM...could be anything from faulty brake light switch,height sensor,wiring etc,etc... |

Well I was just wondering if someone on here had a similar problem in the past and how they had gone about fixing it |

When I had "suspension fault" message. Here's what I did without diagnostic equipment... not foolproof.

check your power steering fluid mate, the ARB is hydraulic and if its running dry will bring on the light.

Thats a great help actually because what I forgot to add was that when raising the suspension up , the rear rises first then the front rises jerkily .. |

The rear raises first then then the front , isn't it supposed to raise level? How much am I looking at for a new compressor ? |

Picture of a car with side arrows is dynamic ride as far as I know. Mine comes on if I travel at 90 plus for long periods. Abroad obviously. Turning ignition off on restarting puts light out. Am told that at @ 90, suspension lowers to help high speed stability. I guess mine gets confused and gives up. Does come on odd time when towing caravan too. Mine goes up at rear first, then front but no jerking. The suspension works on air not hydraulic so ignore steering fluid as cause. More likely to be air leak or pump fault, both are not unusual. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

You can check if the height sensors are faulty by switching to the offroad screen - the page that shows the wheel articulation/ diff locks on/off etc - there is a small bar shown above each wheel on the screen, if any are red then that one has a fault.
