Ok a brief is had two rear tyres replaced last week.shortly after that the front near side suspension air bag got a hole in it and was replaced. Only problem is that the right rear suspension is now riding at full height. All the others seem to be ok the front right looks a little high but I think this is because the rear is affecting it .my local garage has said they suspect a faulty height sensor. They have tried to recalibrate but no luck. The guy in garage fiddled with sensor and the suspension went down but as soon as I drive it down the road it goes straight back up .the restof the system appears to be working as it will raise and lower just this one corner. I have read that if when changing tyres if boot is not left open it can affect height sensors. Any ideas
 
Probably the height sensor has been dropped to a position where it's never been before and picked up some muck off the track giving bad readings.
I would change both rear sensors and get the heights recalibrated and see where you are then.

Have got sensors on order and should be fitted Wednesday 12th .will update once it's been done. Hope that sorts it out as going to my daughters graduation ceremony Wednesday afternoon and if it's not fixed will have to go in the wife's Mx5 .nice car but no were near as comfortable as mine lol

Well have replaced the height sensor and this made no difference. Only thing I can think of is the valve block in the suspension may have a faulty valve stuck open or shut. Any other suggestions welcome. This is now getting annoying
 
Ok update after lots of investigation it turns out to be a stuck value on the valve block unit and ride level control unit was also damaged and was unable to be reprogrammed so that needed to be replaced
 
When I had mine I had the opposite, low N/S/R which corrected itself if you did a frenetic left right of the steering......go figure????
