Its the dreaded ABC messages, "Drive Carefully" and "Go to workshop"!!!
Three months ago the front near side of the car dropped to the tyre over night. I could use the lift button to bring it back up to working level but if left over night down she went. This turned out to be a split pipe on the NS/Front end and this was replaced and all was well.
Last month I drove the car using ABC and after a day or two flashed up the be carefull message. Turning the car off lost the error and then it would return after an hour or so. I had the workshop warning as well!!!
The car feels very loose and doesn't damp the bumps. Pressing the ABC button does make the car feel a little more taught but nothing like it should be.
No sign of leaking fluid
The up and down button still works fine.
Car has been to Natton Garage in Tewkesbury for a coat of looking at and their computer advised that it was indeed the NS/Frontpresure sensor but computer wouldnt go down to the right level of detail.
Cars is going to Man Autos in Ashchurch in the morning for the Star treatment so hopefully that should pin point the problem. Cost of one new valve block from merc £1037!!!!
Any pointers I can pass on to the men with PCs and spanners would be great as cant afford to rebuild the suspension.
Thanks
