So I have the dreaded Active Suspension Inactive warning and the car on its bumpstops. I need to get it to the garage 20 miles away but not happy with it bouncing around.

Is there a manual way to raise the suspension to its normal height without the use of a computer?

2002 L322 petrol before you ask.

If this is possible please explain how to do it.
many thanks

When mine had suspension inactive I used my laptop with diagnostics to reset the fault as it Puts a hard fault on the system and locks the suspension for safety. As far as I know you can't raise the suspension without diognostics

Probably your compressor gone or your pressure valve !
Where abouts are you located, someone may be able to help you reset it

Most likely the turtle has drowned in the swimming pool.(Along with the spare wheel)
L322's need a reset - its not easy to hook up air to re-inflate like on a P38.

Hi We are in Cobham in Surrey so you can imagine what happens when you go to the dealer...... post code lottery effects what you are told.

if there is anyone who is in the area who can run the diagnostics and doesn't look like Dick Turpin please let me know asap.
