That does not mean an airbag is not leaking, the leaks open and close where the bags fold under, Clean the height sensor connectors but NOT with WD40, use aeroclean or similar contact cleaner.

Interested in Tony 2s picture. Now about to show what an amateur I am. The thing at the back of the valve block with the Orange pipes. What is it. Just asking cos all my pipes going to our from it are split. I will do the compressor checks tomorrow
Thanks

Hi Ronjon.
It's the cruise control vacuum actuator. If your pipes are split the cruise control wont be working, easy job to replace them.
Mine are orange because I had some LPG hose of the right size spare and i'm too much of a tight bastard to go buy some black hose.

Better with sillycoon vac pipe will last a lot longer than the original rubber.

Thanks Parisian.
I think it looks quite OEM and the compressor runs a fair bit cooler which hopefully should extend it's life span.
I read a post by datatek which said the compressor can run at up to 120 deg but, the components in the driver pack are only rated to 85 deg hence the mod.

120 degrees is the cutoff point for the internal thermal switch. If all is well with the system the compressor will never get anywhere near that temperature. Cure the problem don't mask it.

Good point Wammers, as it will fail somewheres down the line and still leave you with a problem to fix at no doubt an inopportune time

Reducing the temperature at which the components run in the driver pack will prolong their life and keep them closer to the comfort zone.

I don't have a problem to mask, just good preventative maintenance in my book.
My compressor doesn't run that much as the whole system has been overhauled over the last 2 years. The bonus is it looks good too.

Funny that. Now you come to mention it. No it doesn't. Another job for me to learn.
Thanks
