Suspension fault light- diagnostic code?

Evening all.

The suspension warning (amber light) along with 'Suspension fault- normal height only' notice keeps appearing intermittently - some journeys it'll come on half a dozen times, then can go a few without coming on at all. Car seems fine to drive.

From what I've read here the cause can be all sorts of things from the very cheap to the very expensive... so is there anyway of getting the code from the hidden diagnostics menu so I know what's wrong before I visit the garage, or do I need to visit the garage and get it plugged in?

Thanks for your help.

Don't get too worried as yet, mine was bought with a fresh compressor and threw up a suspension fault - just turned out to be a sensor when we threw the codes up. Thumbs Up

Time to consider an IID Tool or similar?

It would help the diagnosis, provide enhancements such as enabling the 4x4 display (which also helps with suspension diagnostics) and, in my view, save you money, time and angst. Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

The thought has certainly crossed my mind. Which one is the best to go for?

Yes- needed a new suspension compressor unfortunately. Cost me £650 (fitted). Was also quoted £950 fitted so shop around if it's the same.

It was North Eastern 4x4 (http://www.northeastern4x4.co.uk/)- they were excellent, will definitely be using them again.
