I am getting this appearing on the dash now and again.
Occasionally rhe car rises to extreme off road height - sometimes it just says suspension fault and says limited to 30. It clears, so far, on turnng off and on again, so I suspect it's a dodgy ride height sensor. It often fails when I select access height.
Even with an IIDTool it's not obvious to see which sensor it is - can I do that, and if so how? If not, where exactly will I fund them to give them a good clean and check connections etc. Is there anything else I can do it diagnose the issue?

I have a very similar set of things happening. Are your front shocks very slow to come up and down? The descent can be so slow the car thinks it's grounded and go's into extended mode. I think mine is either stiff shocks or weak compressor. The local land rover guy who shares my hangar thinks it might be compressor but isn't so sure about the lowering speed and extended mode.

Use live values -> current height and monitor each corner for linear movement as you change height from access -> normal -> extended. You can also remove the sensors and test them on the bench with a 5V supply.
As a simple first test, exercise the ride heights and watch the corners on the 4x4 Info screen. You may see odd behaviour on one of the corners giving you a clue. 2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate
