    After a few pseudo fixes by my specialist, i had enough an bit the bullet. Approved Dealer changed a shock and actuator.
    Was fine then for a month. Just been for a spin and guess what : bloody light came on again.
    This is killing me. Front actuators look ok - I have checked wiring not getting tangled etc.
    Rear had been replaced.
    This active suspension is a pile of crap, can I just get rid of it altogether ????

    Though the dealer should have already done this, I would recommend removing and reseating the shock accuators again. I would also clean the connectors with some electrical contact cleaner and treat them with a electrical contact enhancer like Stabilant 22.

    I was getting an occaisional suspension light on my 355, and this procedure corrected it for me.

    Fchatter stephens 550 had a recurring light too. Turned out to be a dislodged pin in the chassis loom connector block.

    Also, fiddling with the car without driving it ie turning ign on and off loads of times, will set the light off. Just drive it a while.
