Have had an issue from purchase on the air suspension, quite often goes into extended mode when switched to access mode. Also noticed the o/s front doesnt always go down or if it does is the last one to do so... Regardless of surface and angle tile this is switched to.

Have lowered the rrs 25mm using the iidtool only recently and find the issue is still there. The 4x4 info screen doesnt show any red sensor markers, nor the iidtool show any faults but curious as i believe it could be the sensor, would a sensor cause this ? Or do i need to calibrate it ? Why?.. Because i can....

It could be a height sensor beginning to play up. Ideally, you need to watch the live readings as you lower the car.

More than likely though, it is because you have dropped it 25mm. You are trying to lower the car beyond its physical means, resting it on the bump stops. The car sees this as an issue, and puts it into extended mode...

Mine does the same - 22mm is as good as it gets when lowering - any more its a rough ride & people have commented that its bouncing -  16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

As said, the car thinks there is an issue. You need to watch all 4 corner heights as the car lowers to see which one stops moving

So am i assuming the corner thats not moving is going to be a sensor not reading correctly a faulty valve and or strut ? Why?.. Because i can....

usually its a height sensor, but i have seen one where it was a shock absorber that wasn't moving very quickly. Look at your 4x4 info screen, might help identify and put the ride height adjusters back to std just to make sure its not confusing it at the extremes.
You will see on the 4x4 screen, that one of the corners starts flashing or turns red before all the others (usually)

Simple enough to replace a ride height sensor yourself once youve identified which on it is (if it is) Bodsys Brake Bible
