could driving through a flooded street with say 4 to 5 inches of water cause problems with the sensors resulting in the car tilting to the left...there is also the suspension fault indicator on.

Hi Matrix,

Welcome to the Jaguar Forums! It's great to have you with us.

I have moved your post to start your own thread since your topic is different from that of the thread in which you posted.

Yes, driving through deep water could cause a problem such as damage to a ride height sensor. The sensors are mounted to the control arms and have little short hinged arms. You can check to see if the arm was broken or dislodged, or if the electrical connector is full of water.

Please visit the New Member Area - Intro a Must and post a required introduction so we can learn something about you and your Jaguar and give you a proper welcome, and also please reply to this thread with the year and model of your Jaguar so we can be sure to give you accurate information.

Cheers,

Don

I had exactly the same symptoms triggered by standing water in the road. Problem was a failing rear right wheel height sensor which worked fine sometimes. Driving through deepish water caused the entire right side of the car to go to full suspension height. Left side remained at normal height.
