First of all, apologies if this has been asked and answered a thousand times but I'm at work and time is of the essence and I keep getting distracted by reading everybody elses threads!
Long story short, bought my first L322 last week, 04 petrol on LPG. Every toy worked (after a little fettling) including the air suspension. It broke down on the way to work last week after all the shut down messages appeared with the final failsafe warning. After getting one of the most incompetent garages in the land to fit me a new battery (just around the corner for where I limped to a halt) , I drove it home after being stood in a dodgy part of the north west (oh and thank to whoever for nicking my alloy dust caps, hope you fall off your BMX) and everything worked a treat. I know I said long story short but bear with me, my intro warned you all that I waffle. The warning came on again and the new battery drained within hours. I managed to get it to the local village garage (heroes by the way, can I plug local heroes on this forum?) and it was the alternators fault. Two days later, a nice shiny battery and Bosch alternator and I've got the beast back but the suspension won't work. It's sitting even all round and I'm using it (only got it back yesterday) but I'm hoping that someone will confirm that the battery needs to be completely juiced for all the gadgets to work on a Vogue as since I've got it back, it's only been used for a 6 miles trip last night with the lights on and wipers and then maybe 10 miles to work this morning, again with lights and wipers. I hoping and praying that a good blast in the dry/daylight will allow the battery to be fully boosted by my new alternator as I haven't scrimped on quality on either (I hope, please don't say otherwise!!) as I want this new toy to be in my life for many years to come
I await your wisdom ....
