Teeth rattlingly hard suspension
I have a fault...obviously. Rather than glide over all sorts of road in supreme comfort my car is so hard my teeth may fall out.

The car has ABC,. The spheres seem to be fine because everything is kept nice and level and the suspension cycles through all three heights with no help from the engine.

So, a soft ware glitch? It's like the ABC sport button has been pushed in and then some.

Any ideas?

When did this start happening?

The spheres have nothing to do with level control or height. Only damping and pressure reserves.

It started some months ago.

The spheres don't appear to be ruptured. The fluid is at the correct level when at idle and engine off.

maybe you should try a rodeo test in Xentry DAS and see if something abnormal happens
