Front suspension very slow to raise
I've been doing various work on the car requiring me to raise the suspension. When raising it the rear comes up smoothly in about 3-5 seconds as expected. The front however is taking about 45 or more seconds. I've owned the car for 4 years an not noticed this before.
I had noticed in the past that the front seemed to 'jerk' up in very small increments, say 2mm at a time until the correct height was reached.
Time to start worrying?

I had this some months ago but I also got a message in the display that "the car is rising" after some time. In my case it was the reservoir valve that didn´t open and hence the compressor didn´t have any help from the pressure in the reservoir. Turned out to be a damaged cable (going to the reservoir valve) at the big connector behind the left front head light.
