Suspension Fault - 4x4 information (video)

Hello,

I've got a 2005 Range Rover Sport 2.7TDV6 HSE. Around about January of this year my suspension failed and the vehicle dropped to the bump stops. Took it to my local Land Rover specialist and they said my front left strut and compressor had failed, they replaced them along with 4 discs and 4 pads and I left £1500 lighter. They said they checked the other struts and there was no problems. I think if I recall correctly the left front strut is prone to failing due to the battery being on that side or something. Anyway, I've been problem free for a few months until now. Recently I've started getting the suspension Fault appearing on the dash. It's intermittent. It only comes on when I stop at a red light or a junction. It flashes up, the suspension moves a bit and then the fault disappears. The car is driving perfectly otherwise and suspension is also performing how it should. I'm not getting access height only warning or anything like that. I've read about the brake light switch causing problems so I've ordered one just encase and I'll fit it tomorrow when it arrives. I managed to grab a quick video of the dash screen 4x4 information view for when the fault occurs. I'll put the link below. It's basically showing the front wheel rising, then you hear the 'ding' of the suspension fault then it shows the front right wheel drop down very low, then it stabilises and the fault disappears off the dash. Also when I'm driving the 4x4 shows the front right wheel moving up and down slightly compared to the other wheels. Sorry for rambling on, I've spent days reading this forum trying to work out what's wrong and I'm at my wits end so I'm just trying to be as precise as possible. If anyone has any ideas of what it may be and how to solve it, or needs any more information it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Maybe the sensor in that corner is faulty

It probably only runs the check when stationary

Possibly just a faulty height sensor in that corner?

I would have thought so.

Worth checking the connector

in the wheel arch, there is a large beam at the back

it's a square box with an arm coming out.

Be careful unplugging it at the car height may suddenly change
