steering could be a lot of things
what size tyres are you running on it ??

also worth having a look at the radius arm bushes
if you pop your head under the front u will see 1 end of them

You need to read the faults. You have a "soft fault" which will eventually turn into a "hard fault" and you will end up on the bump stops. Download the free software from www.rswsolutions.com if you have a laptop and buy a connector cable. This will enable you to read and clear the faults. If you do not have a laptop, you can buy an EAS fault code reader from BBS. The most likely causes of your problem is leaking airbags if they are more than 7 years old or 80K miles, and/or a dodgy height sensor.

They're also very fussy about tyres especially on larger (ie 18 inch and upwards) rims.

What tyres do you have on it?

Respect to Kooky, could also be the viscous coupling and the diff, which I found out to my cost just recently....!!

Mine runs fine on those. Steering damper, worn track rod ends, worn bushes will all cause or contribute to your problem
