Default Air Suspension Fault

I got back the the airport last night and started driving home and my "Air Suspension Fault" indicator came on. I looked at many threads here but can't find the same circumstances. The ride home was very rough and when I parked, the front of my car (both sides) was very low but the back was normal. Any ideas of problem?

Thanks

Sorry. I have a 2005 XJ8 with 50,000 miles. I have owned it for 8 months. Thanks

You could have a duff or damaged height sensor at the front. Front wheels are controlled together, rears individually. Alternative is an air spring at the front is duff. Air springs are an expensive component, so best to get everything checked out.

System is flagging up the fault as it can't keep the car level.
