Will have a look at that later, leaving her for a couple of days to see if the leaking corner is obvious. Not using the car for a few days so good chance for leaving the fuse out. Hopefully that would at least tell me which one to focus on, then see what the corner valve positions are. Tx for the pointer.
Also I've got to do things subtly once SWMBO gets here. She thinks I'll just break the car more and should leave it to the dealers. She may have a point but will try and narrow things down before she (D3 not SWMBO) goes in for MOT & service in 5 weeks.

Susp fuse removed Sunday afternoon when in offroad mode. Stuck indoors with dreaded lurgie so will look at front valves on IID later, plus may still have height sensor issue.

I've just used the service / test menu on the IID tool to help isolate the problem with mine.
You can raise / lower the front or the back or all 4 corners. If there's a leak it might help locate it.There is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes.

Right, at last feeling up to heading out in the snow to have a look at this.
Car pressurised up nicely from flat as a pancake no problem, went up to ~1700kpa without any drama. She went up to offroad height and once there the compressor cut off. Dropped her down to normal height then remembered to start recording the IID data.
Over the next 10 minutes driving the pressure gradually dropped down to 1400kpa without the compressor kicking in.
Pulled over to get turned, put her in offroad height and the pressure came back up to 1700kpa via compressor but when I dropped her down to normal height the pressure dropped right down to 200kpa. Pressure then came up to 1700kpa until the pressure dropped mid drive to ~200kpa for no obvious reason.
The pressure then eventually came up but only to ~1000kpa but without the compressor.

It stayed there until I got home where I again put her in offroad height (compressor came on, height went up & pressure went up to 1700). But then put her to normal and the height dropped, pressure went down to ~200kpa where it stayed and compressor switched off.

Does this sound normal?
Oh, and recalibrated the steering sensor, if only everything was that easy.

I got exactly this 2 suspension fault codes today after some heavy off roading. Clearing was easy with the IIDTOOL, twice, then never come back. The faults appeared in off road hight .
So, the investigation is on the way for me too. I will keep posting here hopefully we find the right answer.

Re calibrated the steering angle sensor & that fault hasn't come back. The other faults came back 4 times on the drive from Scotland to Surrey, so not sorted. She's in for service & MOT at the mo and this is on the list. They think it may be front crossover valve. Will update when more knowledgable and poorer.

Got exactly the same issue DSL, for more than a year now. It only happens when offroading. Checked the car for leaks by removing the fuse overnight. Car doesnt lower when fuse is out. It does lower however when the fuse is back on. And it lowers the whole car, not just some side, in the morning....

It would seem you have a corner valve stuck open plus a leak somewhere. What are the corner valve positions?
