My first post so apologies if my foot ends up in my mouth
My dream purchase in December of a Disco made my year, until it made it to IOM, since arriving its grown all the usual issues - sunroof drain pipe broken (swimming pool), parkbrake warning light and then suspension warning light.
Drain pipe modified and repaired, parkbrake system reset - but just as I was expecting a compressor change the suspension fault has gone, just vanished - pull off to go home and no warning light and a full set of bodily functions lol
How is this possible????

They are like a laptop. Turn it off wait a minute and turn it back on fixes 99% of bongs and lights on the dash. It's only if they keep coming back that you have trouble.

The suspension module lives on the A pillar behind the dashboard. Entirely possible that some of the sunroof leakage got on it and caused issues. Maybe it's now dried out and is happy again. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Fair point RRSTDV8
The  is constantly an issue at present, could you possibly confirm location / description of the module as I think it's definitely electrical gremlins

Advice required, as I can't see any thread with this detail
Suspension yellow warning light is virtually constant, system reset and lasted until following morning where the light came back on and the suspension was low at the front. I have noticed that the raise/lower switch illuminates as lowered when the car is started before it goes into default.
Yesterday I got home, had a play about and got the suspension to 'slowly'raise, before the light came on. The suspension remain raised all night (confident of no leaks) but when started this morning the raise/lower switch was illuminated in the high position before the warning light came on.
It settled in normal height after driving commenced with the warning light still on.
The 4x4 info screen supports the vehicle position being in high etc
I can only presume that the system is signalling a set position regardless - as the vehicle is level across the axle line does this indicate a module fault?
Any help appreciated
