I would look at the level control sensors on the front struts , for connection and the wiring is good .

I will double check and clean up all connections with some contact cleaner, as i say it did function all that's happened since is it was driven into a trailer and transported had to change both batteries as nether were delivering the right amps. everything else now works perfect it's just the front suspension.

Sounds like one of your level sensors is bad. And having good batteries with these cars is a MUST. Subpar batteries will cause all sorts of weird problems.

@sazam ,
With the Ross-Tech VCDS in address # 34, output test.

Or you can go under the vehicle and disconnect one rod at a time, then by moving the sensor lever up or down, that corner will react.
