Suspension Fault

Evening guys, need some help please, had the rear upper wishbones changed over Christmas, and after about 3 weeks started throwing suspension fault amber light on. Switch engine off and then back on and fault cleared, had codes read and it said right and left suspension sensor error. Mechanic clear faults and tried to make it fault but it would not, car sits level, through fault again on way home tonight, checked 4X4 info screen and it showed rear right wheel lower than the others with a red light under the wheel flashing. Added photo of info screen, do I need suspension calibrated, new sensor? need your expert advice please.

Had exactly the same on mine after rear upper arms replaced on Friday.
Switched off then on and it's only done it once since.
So will be interested to see how this is resolved.
But I don't have the nav screen, only a lowly XS model Whistle
I did plug in the iid and cleared faults, hope I've done right Embarassed

Must be the season for the compressor cap Al, mine has just faulted too and I'm sure it's the cap.

Any thoughts on this one - start the d3 10 to 15 seconds later amber light on - turn key off then start again and no amber light , I had a new AMK compressor fitted about a year and a half ago .

Hi all
Today been out and had n/s/f wheel arch liner off to check the 3 plugs and they look good .
Swapped out the reservoir valve , checked all the compressor plugs and then on to the soapy water and found no air leaks .
But I'm still getting the amber suspension light up when I start up,( not every time ) if I turn the car off and restart no amber light, next thing to change is the relay which I will do tomorrow.
Got a fault code which is

Vehicle Dynamic

U0132-87 (08 ) Lost communication with ride level control module - Bus signal/message failure - missing a message

Any help please !!!!

Hi Guys, so have checked the wires going to the height sensor and no broken wires, compressor end cap not leaking, so what's the next step, is it check the height calibration or new sensor, advise please.
