How's it going to help if an air bag bursts?
Not much. Spare airbags in the glovebox??

Got a valve block from kurtjohnson10 fitted this yesterday and Bingo the old girl came back to life. A Big Thanks to Kurt for this, then just had to reset the ride heights. Now all's well. Thanks to All for the help.

Well more bad news, too the car out for a run today and dash board lights are showing solid access light on all the time and standard right height flashing, the compressor on and off a lot. Looks like I have another fault some where.??. It was OK after I fitted the new valve block, going up and down with the ride height switch now nothing. Do you think I should do a reset on the EAS unit to try to clear this.

Get a spray with soapy water in and check for leaks where the pipes plug into the valve block for a start. If the compressor is running a lot then it's feeding a leak. Reset the EAS and lift to wade mode and give the bags a good spray especially where the pipe connects. Check that the pipes are not close to the exhaust, they are prone to melting.

Hi, have you checked large white connector block behind passenger side footwell kick panel? They are prone to corrosion through water ingress, can play havoc with the EAS. Worth a look.

Those lights indicate no fault logged and it's trying to rise, so the problem is no air pressure. Either the compressor has given up or there is a big leak. Diagnostics will not help, check the compressor output as in Wammers How To.

If I get a set of these do you just unplug the pipes out of the valve block and fit these on the ends and then just pump up.

Yes, raise it bit by bit or you will end up with one corner too high.

Yep. Decompress the system first - then as Datatek says - inflate each corner a bit at a time.

If the thing is on the bump stops, nothing to decompress, just pop the pipes, gloves and glasses if you are an H&S type.

Went out for a run today, started the car it went straight to normal ride height got on to the motorway it tried to drop but just keep on flashing between the 2 came off the motorway and went back to normal, parked up for an hour came out started the car and came on as normal. Back on to the road and it went to access load and normal ride height flashing back down the motorway till I got home. So what's going on, tried for leaks can't find any up to now switch the car off and only the back end dropped down.

If its struggling to come down to motorway from normal then sounds like a height sensor issue. On the software Datatek sent you you need to access the heights/calbration section and set correctly for the different driving heights.
Did you get any 'incorrect signal' faults from the diagnostics?

When I put the program on I was getting no faults at all, but the slow to 35. Took it all of and the lights went to normal after a drive out then this is when the rest stared.??.

The Slow 35mph message when you connect diagnostics is merely to confirm communication has been established. You must stop the diagnostics, then turn off the ignition, then disconnect. Do it in the wrong order and it can hang up.

I think you get the slow 35 when you connect the software. If not there is a section to clear the dashboard messages. Still reckon you need to check/set your heights up properly - this is not in the fault section.
