    Random suspension warning

    Hey all,

    I get a warning light come on and the message reading "Only Normal Suspension Height Available" There is no rhyme or reason as to when the warning appears which makes me think its a sensor rather than a fault with the compressor, but as I'm non- technical...... I can go off-roading all day in High mode then drop back to normal, no problem. When it does appear, I can stop again and often it wont re-occur for days or even weeks.

    Thought everyone?

    Yes, you're quite right.

    Got time to take a look today. Codes C1131 and C1A20. Further investigation (Mr Google) shows either a new compressor required or "The fault is caused by air filter inlet blockage of the air pump"
    I guess I'm hoping its the latter, but will need to be taken to my tech.

    However, opinions welcomed.

    New compressor is the last resort, get a service kit and rebuild it first.

    Wouldn't that depend on how long you want to keep the car and more importantly what you use it for?
    I am considering a Canning trip in a year or so, if I do 100% lock it in a new compressor is on the list of items to greatly reduce the break down risk even though mine has never had a single suspension fault and is now at nearly 130,000km

    At 130k you would only need the drier kit. Take a spare, easy to swap over if you need it.
