Suspension Failure

So I've had the D3 for less than a month and this warning light has gone from intermittent yesterday to going on every time I start the car. Without me guessing anyone able to suggest what I should do next? Obviously want to get it fixed asap.

Do A search.. lots of threads...

Probably a few place to start..

1. Air tank Leak
2. Blocked up valve blocks
3. Duff Compressor
4. Relay


Start there... If you can get the codes all the better... Thumbs Up

Duff compressor. When you start the engine try raising immediately and see if that stops it coming on.

I have a generic fault code reader and it's saying no faults.

Any London members able to help me out? If I turn the car off and then on again it disappears but as soon as I start moving it bongs the fault!

Raising up and down works fine before the fault appears

If you're going to keep the car for any time best get a proper D3/4 biased code reader/diagnostic widget. Takes out a lot of the guesswork. Thumbs Up

I've seen the one referred to on the forum but it's £400!

That's the best (not that I'm biased!! Laughing ) but there are others at lower prices. OK, it's a decent wedge of dosh but mine's prob paid for itself a good few times over. Plus they sell well when peeps move on to other cars. Thumbs Up

Probably some of the best money ever spent. Really. You can get by without a IIDtool (BT) but one of your friends/acquaintances/etc. needs to have one you can borrow, then. Or another OBD2 reader which understands LR. Thumbs Up

Had the same with mine this weekend, the £400 iid tool led me straight to the fault, repaired and back on road in a few hours. took me longer to collect the parts than it did diagnose and confirm the fault, best £400 you will ever spend

Had Geoff come around today to help look at this and a few other issues and it needs a new compressor. Thanks everyone for the help!
