Default Car Lifts instead of lowers

Hi All,

Another odd issue, suddenly the car seems to constantly try and raise itself whilst in any driving mode, and in lift mode it seems to lower, then lift. If I select lift, and then select 'automatic' the car will lower to standard height, and then will lift itself again. It seems to cycle this when parked and moving which is causing the compressor to run a lot.

This started after I raised the car and then enabled Jacking Mode, but I then turned off Jacking mode (I can't remember why) and then put the car back onto automatic.

I have checked VCDS and there are no faults at all for the suspension, I have also checked for leaks and I can't find anything. When parked the car does not lower, even after a few days which eliminates a leak from a strut.

The only thing I have not tried is going for a long drive as another thread on this site said that can reset the struts. I will try this today, but other than that I am at a loss.
