2009 Reg X5 Self Levelling Suspension Kaput

[MARK]

Not a nice experience. Right rear totally deflated. Self corrected after an hour along NS highway. Only warning was TYRE PRESSURE SYSTEM.
Spent 2 days with PML to no avail. Thereafter, continued driving with a audible squeal occasionally coming from the under carriage.
Finally three weeks later, SELF LEVELLING SUSPENSION warning came on.
Spent 3 days and 3K fixing it! Basically changed the air pump and air springs.

Spending time with PML is akin to a visit to the dentist for a root canal...... without any anaesthetic. More painful than the broken suspension.

And I had my wisdom tooth pulled out before the an aesthetics kicked in before ........ And then the dentist realized he pulled out the wrong one .......

The medic told me it is normal .....

I had my rear right pump replaced in Ang Mo Kio as well. For the coming service i will need to replace the other as well.
