Hi

As above, does it have self leveling suspension? Do all 4.4 have it?

Recently back from the garage with the good old warning light.... they said it needs a rear offside sensor but both rear sides look a little low to me.

I will post some pics tomorrow :D

Well well.... the garage quoted my a min £150 for one rear sensor and one hours labour. Or it could be the pump and I would be talking £400 upwards.

After some research on the site I looked at the fuses in the boot. Located the fuse (30amp), pulled it out to find it had blown. Replaced the fuse and what a nice sight to see the rear suspension rise up to the correct ride height.

I guess my message here is, just spend 30mins researching on great sites like this one before you take it to any garage and hand over your money :D

Well done :-). I recon we've all saved ourself a fortune by getting to know our cars. It also puts you in a better position when someone at a garage realises your not a numpty.

All the best :-)
