Suspension Fault after Bushing Change/MOT

2005 Disco 3 Auto. Had the vehicle in for MOT/Service work last week and when it returned after having new bushing in front upper and lower it had 2 amber warning lights on dash - HDC System fault - special programs unavailable - suspension lowered. Returned it to independent garage who did the work today and they say nothing to do with the bushing/MOT work but seems a bit too much of a coincidence. The warning lights come on about 2-3 minutes into each drive and i did manage to get the suspension to raise and lower a few times before the warnings lowered the system completely. Any ideas??

Broken wire at n/s/f wheelarch would be where I would start

A lot of faults on these cars can be coincidence however. Any ideas on what fault codes were stored? My D3 Build Thread

Mine did this - tracking and 4 wheel alignment sorted it - specifically the tracking. To do with the steering angle sensor.
