Since getting back from the weekends little adventure (fitting a new compressor in a field), cant get rid of the amber suspension fault light, its stiing nice and level, question is the amber light a fail on the MoT? Its got to go in very soon.

Did you replace the relay for the suspension compressor Mogwyth ? That was the cause of the amber fault light on mine several yrs ago ( faulty relay caused compressor to run on, probably indefinately if I hadn't noticed it ) Shocked , still on original compressor now.

Yep Advanced sent a new relay in the box so fitted it. Might find time to have a fiddle before it goes in, but no garage and rain forecast.

Moggy, mine passed last Aug with a "Normal Ride Height Only" warning and amber suspension light illuminated. I told the tester before he looked at it to pre-warn him but he said it shouldn't be an issue. Wink

Had a chat he was quite happy about it, but cant do the test till Tuesday. However had to go to the far side of the farm on Friday and needed offroad height so popped the fuse back in and low and behold all worked as it should, no lights and goes up and down with no issues.

Thanks for asking.

I am waiting to be corrected, but my understanding is the Amber suspension light isn't a fail.
