OK guys, could that be the answer, have we found something?
Could be the 'TILT' sensor. The alarm has a device that tells the system that the car is moving, but the wheels aren't, i.e been jacked up, some scroat about to nick the wheels, so maybe the alarm electronics are interfering with the suspension?
Nope, mine does not have the tilt sensor, checked that on Testbook, not fitted, thats why I fitted the TrimTrak.

OK, we placed Slimers car on the ramp and lifted up the wheels via the wishbones and guess what we got a suspension error. I could not even see any movement in the wheels either, I am beaten on this one. Crazy.

To clarify, my D3 didn't actually report an error, it thought it had gone into extended mode (was still in normal mode) and was telling me to adjust the suspension height if I was 'clear of the obstruction', a flick of the lever and all was okay again. Obviously lifting on the wishbones trips a sensor to cause this confusion, I wonder if we'd put it into off-road height before lifting if we'd have got the same issue? The End

Yesterday, I changed my front brake pads, and lifted it with a trolley jack under the centre-front cross member, and placed axle stands under the wishbones. I did raise it to off-road height first.
When I had finished, it reported no errors or anything unusual. Just started her up, lowered to normal and drove away.
