Hmm. That's not a bad idea.

What would it tell me other than the fact that one corner has dropped?

it'd prolly give you and indication of whether car is trying to send one corner down!

I've got a set of emergency inflation valves fitted already - they were the source of most of the leaks! Stupid things.

The way mine are plumbed in mean the they share the pressure in each airbag pipe with the solenoids so I'm not sure how that would prove anything.

Each of the 4 output pipes from the EAS box has a t-piece on it which goes to the airbag in one direction and the valve in the other. I'm assuming inside the EAS box it's going to the solenoid...

Gotta pic somewhere but I can't get it off my phone at the mo...

There is a set of valves on Ebay that just connect to the individual pipes when you remove them from the solenoid block.

Ah, with you now. Hmm. That might be worth doing...

Stupid thing didn't drop last night! What's going on?

if you had a very bad leak originaly then the solenoid and the seal wear quicker giving you this fault!
as you have done all the silly tests then would be inclined to order a overhaul kit for the valve block

I take it you are parked on level ground? The bloody things will self level to the bump stops when parked on uneven/sloping ground

Well its on a slope when parked at home but its facing either up or downhill. Does the same at work though when its level.

Where's the best place to get a valve block overhaul kit?

If you think it is the valve-block: Seal re-con kits from P38spares, or others. Check out the RSW Solutions site before ordering tho`. I would say it took me about 3 or 4 hours to do the job. Keep everything scrupulously clean & dry. Use only the thinest smear of the supplied grease.
