Mini One air suspension issues

I'm at my wit's end with my 2011 Mini One! The air suspension seems to have given up the ghost. It won't lift anymore, and the whole car is leaning to one side. I'm getting an error in the memory, plus a warning light in the speedometer that's driving me crazy. The low beam is also completely out of whack. I've read it could be a defective cable or plug connection with the suspension components. Anyone else experienced a compressor failure like this? This load leveling issue is a real pain!

Hmm, sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my Mini One. The ride height was all over the place. Error message on the speedometer too. Did you check the simple stuff first?

When you say 'simple stuff,' what exactly are you referring to? I've checked the fuses, but beyond that, I'm not really sure what else to look for. Is there a specific area I should be focusing on?

Yeah, by 'simple stuff' I meant the wiring and connectors. It could be a pain to get to. Honestly, I ended up taking mine to a workshop. They sorted it out pretty quickly. Saved me a lot of hassle in the long run.

Big thanks for your input. It was indeed a faulty cable/plug connection, just as you suspected. Cost me 95€ to fix. Load leveling is working as it should now, and that dreadful warning light is finally gone!
