Suspension Fault and now the headlights aren't working!!

Had a few issues recently with a suspension fault appearing after a mile or two, the icon turns yellow and pings saying suspension fault Sad after another 10 miles or so the icon turns red "reduce speed to 30mph max" the icon then reverts back to yellow and so on it repeats - it does reset when you restart and everything seems ok. I have noticed the lights dim prior to this happening..just started the disco and the headlights aren't working (all other lights on).

Read a couple of topics regarding this issue! would you advise a new compressor is required?? Shocked fuses don't seem to have blown or am I missing something Whistle

Lots of error messages don't relate directly to what's being reported in the message text. Don't recall seeing this specific combination before, but I'd first check your battery voltage. Possibly could be that your alternator is not charging properly, especially as you are seeing your headlights dimming...

Also, sounds crazy, but are all your brake lights working correctly, or have you replaced any recently?

Agreed, to me (as a non techie) would point to alternator. Not an uncommon issue.

You guys where on the right track, just had the D3 in Hillendale Nelson, for the past 2 days, and they have tested everything...Guess what it was the battery!!!!! a faulty cell Shocked The battery was only producing 11v.

Alternator checked ok Thumbs Up

Suspension Checked OK Thumbs Up

Just took a 50 mile drive with no suspension fault warning lights bliss!! Mr. Green

Again thanks to you guys as I suggested your thoughts which obviously sent them on the right track. Bow down Milestone
