I have today tested using the Nanocom all the valves are opening and closing on command and the pump runs on command.I have air coming out of the front 6mm outlet to the tank. Is it possible that the tank is full of condensate or something reducing its capacity ,so that although I have pressure,I have no volume or a kink in the pipe having a similar effect?

a small pin hole leak in the pipe somewhere? have you tried the soapy water test see if you are losing air anywhere ?
 
further test reveals that compressor is filling tank, removed purple tube 6mm from front of valve block and nearly" blew the bloody doors off".however when i opened the valves one at a time, no air appeared at the outlets.

From memory (I don't have the schematic to hand) I think you have to open the inlet valve too? Not entirely certain about that, I can't remember if the inlet valve is to feed the tank or to feed the solenoids for the bags.

Is the inlet valve working?

yes they have not been moved since it was working.

Well if the inlet valve is opening and air is flowing through NRV2 from tank into the fill/vent chamber and the rear corner valves are pulsing the rear bags should be being filled.
 
I apologise for the delay in replying, but I needed food.I tried what Wazzajnr suggested and opeded the inlet valve first, and then ttried opening valves to the air springs one at a time. only the right rear valve opened. none of the others did. I am at a loss. still there is always tomorrow, too cold for me now
 
Yes, I realise that. Working from top to bottom of screen, the first one opened then I closed all, then pressed the second one did nothing. nor did the rest.I am going to check all the circuits for continuity,but I must admit I am working in the dark.What I know about electronics is just about zero.I have asked on here and facebook if anyone can look at it but no joy as yet.Still I live in hope
 
I'm not a million miles from you but I've just arrived back from Spain and off to the states on Sunday for a couple of weeks.
If you can wait till I'm back, I'd happily have a look with you.
I guess you need it sooner than that though!
 
Opening and closing valves one at a time will do nothing for you other than prove the valves work. You need to go to utility section where you can select various heights and command changes. This opens the inlet valve and corner valves to raise suspension and exhaust and corner valves to lower it. You can command the system to go to up or down with the utility commands.
 
Thanks, I will try all the permutations as soon as the weather is a bit better. drove it today, with springs inflated to bit count on Nanocom diconnected the pump. Dash lights showed all was good, till I went over 50mph and it didnt lower,then it went into fault.So some of the system is functioning correctly and some isnt. Just got to find the gremlin
 
Maybe a drive over the hills to Preston armed with a bottle of Scotland's finest?!
