Suspension Lights Flashing
On three occasions my wife has had the lights on the suspension switch flashing, both sport and comfort indicators flash at the same time? its obviously related to the cold weather as it only happens in the morning, on the homeward drive they go out (always drive in 'Normal' mode) anyone else see this???

i've just got to try & find my original post 
basically I had this P.M.R, asked my dealer to run a quick diagnostic check on it to see what the error code was & they found that one of the shock absorbers was leaking onto the connector for the acc system (my wonderful aftersales girl who absolutely loves my car recalls it being the drivers rear shock on mine but stupidly its not noted on file) anyway the technician advised that the car should not be driven for safety sake until it had been replaced (part takes 2 days to come in & then its a 10 minute job to swap over) so I urge you to get the car booked in as soon as possible & get it checked!! ask them to run a diagnostic check as you have an error flash up on the acc control button.
I will add numerous people have had this error come up but not got it & checked & have never had it since but also people have had the same conclusion from this error as mine (1 person iirc found the wiring loom was routed the wrong way round the shock instead). so with you having had it 3 times get it in & checked for your peace of mind!

edit: it is not related to the cold weather! & after I initially had the error come up I didn't have it again between then & when it went into the dealers to get checked a full week later.
