Suspension failure

Hi, can anyone tell me how to reset the suspension, it's slumped down on nearside both front and rear, someone suggested disconnect battery for 24 hr and it will reset itself!!???
Any other suggestions welcome

Cheers
Rich

Disconnecting the battery wont reset any fault codes. Turning the ignition off/on should get it back to normal ride height, unless there is a 'permanent' fault stored in the memory

Its like that for a reason, you should really get the fault codes read off it first Thumbs Up

Maybe try and find someone in your area with a Faultmate diagnostic tool as:-

1. It can check ride height levels and re-calibrate if necessary
2. Reset and clear fault codes
3. Possibly install newer ECU module software upgrade, as your car is 2005MY it may benefit from this!

Cheers everyone, I'll get straight on to it, it's only been like this since we replaced a rear suspension arm, before that it was fine, I was wondering if the mechanics left something off!!
Getting a bit fed up with the car now as it's one thing after another it seems
But thanks guys, sure I'll be back for more, missis won't let me get rid, unless it's for a brand soaker! And we all know they don't grow on trees overnite
