Bloody hell,with the money I have ploughed into this car there cannot be many things left to go wrong...

I have an amber dash lamp on with Suspension Fault message....

I am thinking I Need to get this professionally looked at but any input would be appreciated please.

It comes on pretty quickly when the cars ignition is turned on.

Has anyone anything constructive to mention regarding what my potential issue could be please, I am not looking fir a diagnosis here, just ideas on what the problem could be and how deep I could be digging into my cash pot.

Have you inspected closely the connectors to the damper tops? Assuming that your cats system is the same as my Daimler Super V8, one of the wires to those connectors could be damaged.
Another worthwhile thing might be to disconnect the battery for an hour and touch the two terminals on the car together to dissipate any charge. Then reconnect those connectors to the battery and see if the error message goes. Make sure you know the radio code first and you will obviously lose any trip info.
I haven't followed the damper wires to see if they have a connector somewhere but if they have, they too would be worth a look at,

Thankyou for this, yes I believe they are similar set ups, bloody fault cleared this morning on start up ha ha.
If thefault does not show up on the display I am wondering would it show up on a OBD Scanner ?
I do have a basic one as a spare which gave nothing.

I will have a look around as you suggest and if Ifind anything will report back

Dodgy cable going into the top of left hand damper.....phew
Little bit of preventative tin worm dining completed on front sills while it was in, just a small job.

Dry weather please.....
