P38 Suspension problem

Got about halfway to work this morning and heard one of those familiar "beeps" from the dash!
The message read Slow 35mph maximum and the suspension light came on.
Is to do with it being sat in minus god knows what over the weekend and will be fine or will I do major damage if I continue to drive it?

Any advice gratefully received....

Does the vehicle rise to standard height or is its sitting on the bump stops???

Hi, i had same thing happening to me, imfo i recieved from here was that if the message centre wasnt saying EAS FAULT then most likly reason is bad earth or connection at EAS unit caused by the good old British weather, i sprayed WD40 around unit and bingo no more bleeps.

It doesn't rise to standard height and the EAS fault came on. Is it safe to assume it is going to cost a few bob?

The EAS fault message will need to be cleared by testbook or dealer. It could be a number of things that has caused the problem, does the compressor run at all? What lights are showing on the height control switch?

All of them. I've taken it to the dealer I got it from today as I am also trying to fix my sons Civic which has decided to chew its weight in batteries!

There seem to be several people on here the last couple of days with EAS faults. Could it be something to do with the weather?

Mine took ages to rise to standard height but once the engine warmed up it seemed ok.

I was wondering if the EAS valve block had become frozen, I had a solid low access light and a flashing standard ride height light for about 20 mins..
