Yeah, $1500 is a bite, when I remember shocks being in the $200 range. But who will be sympathetic when you buy a high price high-end car?I ust spent $12000.00 on a fuel repair.

Allow me to save you about $6000. Have your mechanic remove the inner fender well on the driver's front fender skirt and expose the compressor that regulates the ride height of your car. Have your mechanic check the compressor connection for power from the wiring harness. There is mostlikely a broken power supply wire due to an over stressing of the ride control height in this harness here and can easily be repaired. Unbelievable, but true. Regards, Bob Raymond

I concur.
However I believe the cause to be corrosion rather than over stressing since the lead is not supposed to move.
Its the pressure sensor wire in my case. The power supply is HEAVY duty and I can't believe that that would break.
Same result.
Good tip but whether iot fits the symptoms logged (I didn't check) I have no idea.

Stuart.
