Evening all,
My wife’s 03 L322 diesel had a flat battery on Friday morning.
Left it during the day as we had to get to work and when I got home I put it on charge. Charged it for 5 hours and it started fine. Got the eas inactive so did the steering trick and it was fine. Went up and down no problems.
This evening I noticed it was kneeling at the front. Went and started it and the eas light showed it should be at normal drive height. So I thought i’d Put it up tonoff road height so that the front would come up and then I’d return it to standard height. As I used to do in my p38.
I did this and the back went up no problems.
The front didn’t come up.
I thought I’d then send it to the access height but now the back won’t come down. The light is flashing to say it’s coming down but the car isn’t doing anything.
I’ve not done anything else right now as it’s dark and freezing.
I plan to take the battery off and see if by doing that for ten limited before putting it back on might solve the issue.
However, has anyone had this happen before and if so how did you solve it?
The previous owner had new bags and pump fitted and it’s been working great since we bought it in July but this seems to have come about following the battery going flat in the cold weather last week.
Cheers for any help!
Andy.
