Can I drive it with no air in the suspension

Hi all, me yet again Rolling Eyes

Got the amber warning light and the fault "Suspension fault - normal height only" on Thursday night.

It is now booked in to get the "Engine System Fault" sorted, the creaky rear suspension fixed and its belts changed (87 months old) on Wednesday.

I woke up this morning to find I have a low rider now and no damping at all. The garage has said to take it in monday morning now but will I cause more damage if I drive it until then? I wont be going far, maybe 60 miles total before 6 miles to the garage.

Cheers
Pete
