Does the air suspension compressor sound noisy it's situated on the passenger side rear - just in front of the rear wheel. They are known to fail - I had the same symptoms as yourself for about 3 months until it finally went altogether ? 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Not many - I only do about 6k a year in the RRS. It was an intermittent fault then 1 day it just stayed on yellow - I reset the fault but it remained yellow. We disconnected the compressor then reconnected to see if it changed anything but the car just bottomed out - the only solution was to replace the compressor. I could tell that the one that was removed had already been refurbed. It's been fine since. Others might be able to put you in the right direction but if its noisy its probably on its way out.
