Did you replace the relay for the suspension compressor Mogwyth ? That was the cause of the amber fault light on mine several yrs ago ( faulty relay caused compressor to run on, probably indefinately if I hadn't noticed it ) , still on original compressor now.D3 owned from new, P017 brake recall, BAS FBHIC, new FBH, LR013487 oil pump, new water pump. RRS front lower suspension arms. New suspension compressor/ relay. New Denso alternator. CuNifer rear brake pipes. New GKN rear propshaft. New HPFP belt & tensioner. New A/C Condenser.NO WARRANTY for many many years.

Yep Advanced sent a new relay in the box so fitted it. Might find time to have a fiddle before it goes in, but no garage and rain forecast.==================================

Had a chat he was quite happy about it, but cant do the test till Tuesday. However had to go to the far side of the farm on Friday and needed offroad height so popped the fuse back in and low and behold all worked as it should, no lights and goes up and down with no issues.
Thanks for asking.==================================
