Sorry I think I should have posted the details below as a new thread and not as a continuation of an old thread. Any help gratefully received.
I had a previous problem and found that fuse 40 was blown (it wasnt very obvious when I checked it first of all). What I didnt appreciate is that fuse 40 covers starting and the EAS. Cause of blown fuse was that the EAS compressor's conrod had broken (Yes !!). This had then jammed the motor which had then burned out - presumably the thermal cutout had failed to operate ?
This compressor was only a year old - an "aftermarket" compressor so I dont think much of those and wouldnt recommend them to anyone.!!
However I now have a further problem. Could anyone help please ?
When I found out that the compressor was U/S I replaced the fuse so that I could move the car out of a field - only about quarter of a mile or so.
I then fitted a good secondhand compressor (original type - suction seems fine). Initially after start up everything seemed ok although it took about 2 minutes to pump up to normal. I started it up a couple of times and it was fine. The lights on the dash all behaved normally. Then about 3 days later I came to use the vehicle. Now all 4 lights are on and visually it seems to be very high. Checked with the EAS software. Initially just "7. vehicle has moved" and under F9 "128". Cleared faults and tried again. Same problem - just 4 solid lights on dash.
Checked again and there were about 16 different faults logged. I have kept a note of these. Cleared them. Still all 4 lights on (I have definitely had the doors closed as I have made this mistake before !). Cleared the faults again and now "1. F8.2 Hidden". Still all 4 lights on and not behaving itself.
I checked the wheel heights and they were all between 127 and 135 with "DW" in red lit up. Does this mean that for some reason it is stuck on wading height ??
Visually the vehicle appears to be high as if on deep wading.
Any help as to what to do next gratefully received. Thanks.
