Yeah, well... it's under warranty (I hope!). I can't do any of the work myself... the number one reason being that it's over 40C outside most days and I'm not getting my hands dirty in that heat!

The car ride height doesn't move at all... not with the engine shut off, on start up, while driving or even overnight - it's completely static. I can't hear the pumps at all, not even when I had the rear wheel out to disconnect the battery.

I'll get the mechanic on the case... this should at least be his starting point.

Some guy PM'd me and mentioned the control unit module may be at fault...?

This is going to be a long pain in the arse, especially as they'll probably have to order in any parts from the Germany or something.

Big fecking headache
