W211 Airmatic Problem

[HEE63]

I was driving on Saturday night and all of a sudden a warning light came on saying "car too low" "Malfunction".
The front drivers side has completely dropped compared to the other corners and wont rise back up again. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Thanks

Seems very like the issue I had.
My air strut had a bearing go which caused the rubber bag to burst and would not raise the vehicle.
New strut sorted the problem but it took 5 weeks to be delivered.
Due to the pound falling, Arnotts struts are more expensive now but still cheaper than MB.
Try a search for aerosus, saw them being recommended here a couple of days ago.
