hi guys just wondering if anybody has a similar experience?

just occasionally I get yellow triangle pop up with dynamic suspension issue warning, with rear suspension feeling lumpy, if I switch off and back on all seams to be ok, can be in normal or dynamic mode.

thinking its a censer starting to fail on the rear suspension?

appreciate any thoughts.

HOW WRONG WAS i, checked out fault codes and reset to see what came back, (due to many faults related to battery), next day fault again worked out it was due to battery needing ?? volts to start the engine, as battery was low it shut down other circuits to start the car.

new battery all's well.

These cars are just weird!

That would not be the first thing I would have thought of! Glad it’s fixed though, guess a new battery should be a 4 yearly thing?

Charging the battery should always be the first step in diagnosing faults .... ;)

Just out of interest, do you use the stop/start or do you disable it?

Thanks, do you think stop/start contributes to reduced battery life?

no, all batteries have fairly short life, 6 years seams fine to me better now than a non starter in the winter, makes you think about fully battery powered cars and £7k plus new battery pack.
