Where is the car stranded, maybe there is a local Nanocom
P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

The bag can separate from the end cap if it is jacked with the bags hanging at access, ask me how I know..........
If you are at standard height it is usually ok, best to jack under the axle as previously mentioned.
I always make sure the car is at standard height nowadays and so far no problemo

My point was if non standard shock are fitted the dangling axles can over extend. With standard it should be ok.
I wonder if the EAS ECU error made them think sensors were faulty when they were ok. The EAS maessages can be wrong.

Thanks for the tips all. I am going to go along with a multimeter and check the following:
12v getting to the compressor.
Check the pressure from the compressor.
Check valve block exhaust.
Continuity of pressure switch - open circuit below 120 psi and closed circuit at or above 140 psi. + or - 7 psi at either end.
Continuity thermal cut out - Should be closed circuit.
I may take the emergency valves recommended, but I should be ok to drive it the 10-15 miles back to a family member's driveway to park it on then do more tests/repairs.
I may also get a new compressor. I know the one I have is original and has been repaired a few times.
Take it from there. Update maybe over the weekend.
Cheers

No, car is actually near Salisbury in Wiltshire.
You should ask @kurtjohnson10 if he has any compressors and/or rebuilt items he often does and by all accounts his are good.
You may still find its an easy fix.
If its on the stops 10-15 miles will kill the stops and your back, I would arm yourself with1 of those emergency kits TBH.

Years ago when it first failed I drove it over 50 miles very slowly. All was ok. 10-15 is nothing, besides I cannot order the emergency kit and it arrive in time for me, it will be 2-4 days late.

When I first had mine, I drove about 50 miles with a caravan on the hook at low speed. No damage to the stops or anything else.

Once you've had the sump punched in by the diff casing you may think differently

There is a member up there who does a lot of off-roading and more than likely has a Nanocom. Trying to recall his login. @Salisbury Nick

I will be heading to Ferndown next week. Usually M3 & M27, but could easily go A303 instead if you need help. Always have nanocom in car.

It is quite possible to drive it while on the bump stops. I have done more than 100 miles this way. Just slow down when coming to uneven surfaces.
