Interesting....
I also live in Leeds, I was driving along yesterday, got the warning beep, an orange light and the message :-
SUSPENSION FAULT NORMAL HEIGHT ONLY
The message now re-appears a few seconds after starting the engine and attempting to change the ride height only speeds up the message delivery.
I can't see any white crystals, but is this also likely to be the compressor? I figured it was either that or one of the air shocks.
Anyone know how much a compressor or air shock costs to change? 
TIA/Cheers

PS - Has a compressor manufacturer being going round sabotaging D3's in Leeds recently!?!

Quote:may be just the filter clogged up with Mud
the filter is actually inside the car, rear nearside wing shouldnt get clogged up unless you drive through mud 6ft deep with the doors and tailgate open Duncan
