Just had the suspension fault icon appear on the dash, the text reads suspension fault, normal height only. I locked and opened the car, started it up and immediately tried to higher and lowwer the suspension which it did. The light now comes on almost every journey but does not seem to be causing any problems other than not being able to adjust the suspension.
Any thoughts??

Your compressor could be on the way out. In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Did it only say 'suspension fault' or did it say anything about the 'suspension will raise once cooled'? 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue

Exhaust valve on compressor - probably stored DTC C1A2064, there is a repair kit but best to change to later type compressor

Same as mine - corrosion in the wiring loom........see this;
http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic34206-15.html
Problem description on the first page of the post. Changing the blue connector temporarily solved the problem, but the corrosion had gone along the wire.................easy to replace the wire at same time as replacing connector  Design apparently changed in 06MY onwards........ 
Could also be compressor as 2 weeks after getting the wiring fixed, the compressor started to fail, giving "suspensionn raising slowly" warnings, then eventually orange light. Sail Fast - Live Slow...

I've just started to get the same warning icon coming up. At first it came on and then dissapeared for a while. But now near enough every trip.
Is there any other fault that can cause this or is it compressor/wiring issues? I have a 1yr warranty from the garage I bought it from.... should cover me for such items. £100 excess mind  If in doot, flat oot!!
