Yellow suspension light and SW Wales specialist help please

Hi

2009 tdv8 with 55k miles

Drove 5h on Saturday in the usual calm luxury

Got yellow suspension light last night (Sunday)
Went off after half a mile

Have made 4 short trips since
Light came on briefly at beginning of 2 of them
Car looks and drives fine

Light is yellow not the red and amber it also normally scrolls through when starting car
4*4 screen shows a front wheel too low when it happens

Admit details sketchy but what's likely please?

And recs for an indie in Haverfordwest or Tenby v welcome too

Sorry for grammar using phone

Cheers
PS new alternator and battery last year

Sounds like it's that wheels height sensor or the wiring between it and the connector block behind the passenger side wheel well.
Check the wiring for continuity or obvious signs of fraying. there's a few threads about it. Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

Thanks that's encouraging
Since my post I've done another 4 10 mile journeys without any lights

I have a tame indie but they're 300 miles away

Cheers

Good news - no light for 2 days

Bad news - sudden red light tonight with slammed stance and fluid spilling out onto the road

Good news - I'm getting recovered home so free diesel

Bad news - likely diagnosis and cost anyone??

Cheers

Edit: it's dark and the only torch I have is my phones flash, there was definitely a decent amount of fluid on the road when it first happened and the sump guard is fairly moist but the front suspension components all look dry.

Hmmmmm

Car is now back home and behaving as if nothing had happened!

Fluid I saw prob a red herring

Diagnostics say it's a ride height sensor which is a result in my book

Indie says they should be replaced as pairs and will need a couple of hours labour to fit and calibrate

Cheers
