Carriage drops when powering up

Hi, I have a EASi 40TT , unit is in good nick, but the carriage drops straight after being raised, then after half a second stops (abruptly).

Also if you raise the carriage then power off the machine, wait, then re-start, the carriage drops to the floor while the unit is going through its learn cycle. Any suggestions as to the cause.

Most likely bad load holding valve.
