I have heard of the odd problem with the height sensor "flipping the other way". Better have a look at all the sensors also also if there are no leaks, cable/connector issues. Maybe the off-road extension and then subsquent access height has done one of the sensors in ?? MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

The reason I didn't think that a height sensor had failed was because the car stayed at the right height on all 4 corners although the compressor wasn't appearing to work correctly, I thought that if a Height sensor had gone then it would give an error? I haven't selected the off road navigation screen as I have got the DVD nav and I don't think that's available on it. 2002 Vogue Epsom Green with Ivory Leather.

Do you think there may be a valve after the reservoir that has stopped working and therefore not letting any new air into the system stopping or nearly stopping any additional raises of the suspension? 2002 Vogue Epsom Green with Ivory Leather.

What are you using to check for error codes?

I haven't managed to read any fault codes yet. Strangest thing is that although there is a height change request going on (orange light flashing) the compressor doesn't keep running. It runs for a little while and then stops. I am guessing that it stops because the air reservoir is full but why doesn't the air go to the struts? 2002 Vogue Epsom Green with Ivory Leather.

Yes, it's genuine. This fault has just materialised. I guessed at lack of output from the compressor so changed the piston ring and its certainly blowing now, just no actual suspension movement. 2002 Vogue Epsom Green with Ivory Leather.

Cheers for that, I guess you might be right. Have to bite the bullet and spend the £400. 2002 Vogue Epsom Green with Ivory Leather.

You could try and unplug the compressor from the system and temporary feed it 12v, see what it does, but getting the codes read is going to help most of all |

Do you get error codes if its the compressor failing? Or just ECU or height sensors 2002 Vogue Epsom Green with Ivory Leather.
