You may be unlucky and have 2 different problems occurring at the same time - what do you mean by suspension playing up? 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Thanks peachy for responding so quick. Poor to having the battery problems sorted I used to get "special programmes off" and "normal suspension hight only" with the orange wobbly indicator. She suspension would lower but then raise to normal hight immediately. just wondering where I go from here, been advised I need a new suspension control unit. |

I can only advise from my own experiences - the suspension Compressor is located in front of the n/s rear wheel - it becomes noisy when its due to fail - mine had been refurbed ( in a fashion ) & started to play up almost straight away after I had purchased the car. It was showing the same faults as yours - it was replaced & it's been great since. The lads on here are great - some are close to genius when it comes to solving problems so stick with it !! 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

....not sure if it can be reconditioned or not but in any event you might find a new one more cost effective anyway. There is a relay that needs to be replaced as well.
