Left car running this morn for 15 mins it was still on access height when I left drove about 10 mins and it went to ride height then parked for 1 hour it went back down then drove back 15 mins and it didn't raise at all I no the compressor isn't putting right air pressure out but any ideas why it didn't raise up on way back

Because the compressor was putting out less air on the way back than on the way out. Get the compressor sorted. Without air pressure the EAS is as useful as tits on a Mars bar.

I've got a feeling I bought a compressor seal and cylinder replacement kit from a guy in North Kent near you. I'll try and find his details ... might have been Welcome-LR Land Rover Spare Parts- - Land Rover Range Rover 4x4 Replacement Parts - All Land Rover and Range Rover makes or somesuch. On eBay he is 3u2. I'll see if I can find an invoice.

That site's in Witham, Essex. I'm sure my seal came from Kent though! The return address was!

Take the head off it and look at the exhaust reed. Make sure it is sitting ON the O'ring properly nothing baulking it's operation. Also check inlet reed is flat to head.

Yeah, sorry about that. There was one in Kent. I've had a few in the past few years. I refurbed a couple of old ones so I have a couple of spares ready to go in my shed. Since I did that and got some decent connectors for manual inflation the EAS has performed flawlessly!
