Suspension fault. Normal height only

Over the past week I've had suspension fault normal height only. Come up 4 or 5 times a day. If I switch off and back on again it goes away for a while. Could it be the compressor on the way out or an air leak. ?? New alternator.

Battery only 3 years old. Car starts first time every day. Have noticed it takes a while to raise to off road height somtimes. Also if car left for a couple of days the suspension has dropped. New alternator.

Had exactly the same on mine with the warning a couple of months back. It happened sometimes after I had altered the ride height (rarely), and rear nearside corner would sit about 25mm lower than the rest after reversing. Would clear after switching off engine and restarting after a minute or so. Compressor fault, replaced under Marshall Warranty- worth every penny!! You can't see the eyes of the demon until him come callin'

Had the same with mine turned out to be the compressor cost about me about £500 for a new one,if it is don't forget to renew the relay as well The careful overtaker avoids the undertaker !

Had to buy new compressor. Didn't think £312 was too bad until the garage told me it didn't fit. The one they removed was an AMK compressor. The AMK compressor cost twice as much. F@#$ THAT. New alternator.

Everyone automatically assumes that the compressor is at fault. The light comes on ours every now and then and I thought that was the problem.
I have a scan tool and it told me it is the rear valve block sticking.
When i get chance I may give it a tap with a hammer to see if it loosens the solenoids. If that works then I will make sure I raise / lower the car at least every week to keep things moving.

Not a bad idea. I tend to put mine in access height every time I park up just out of habit.

I think the height also lowers a bit at over 100mph but of course there is nowhere legal in the UK to test that 😃
