Anybody know what casues nodding suspension please? I leave the car and for a few minutes it will go up and down at the front?

Nodding C5, mine done it twice, once, when it was parked on a slope, steering on full right hand lock and stopped without rest. - My wife pulled into a car park, and parked my C5 without letting it all relax before applying the handbrake and putting it in park. I know this as I moved the car from this position, the second time was soon after to see if I was right, and I was.

 

Try straightening the steering a little., it is just the front height corrector getting confused I think!

Lock the car when you get out as this will usually disable the self levelling and the hydraulic pump.

 

If the height correctors are a little sticky maybe running the car through the full range of height settings will help.
