Download the free EAS Unlock suite from RSWsolutions if you have a laptop, buy a cable and you can read and reset the faults yourself. The other option is an EAS kicker from Black Box Solutions, cost you less than going to a dealer and you will always have it with you for next time

EVENING DATA theres been some developments;sun night pumped up air tank,put sus on full height ok .
mon still up,mon night still up did'nt touch it.
tues am still up,went out came back 5ish ;back still up front on bump stops,,,bugger now i know that points to airbag leak but we fittednew ones friday,we checked for leaks on bags,valve block even the air drier,,no leaks
this am i rang a chap @ a kicker he recommended a "kicker light",you plug it in and it resets everything ok as far as it goes but it does not read codes or do any diagnostics,now i think this is counterproductive ,i want to know whats up with it so i can fix it "hopefully"
could you let me know your opinion !
i must admit im getting p***ed of with this p38 and this poxy laptop that wont post without going offline,im seriously consiser binning the pair of em [before they give me a heart attack or something]
hellsfire i might even buy a slitty ffs:doh:,,,,dave

If it stays up overnight it's not an airbag leaking, especially as they are new.
Buy yourself an EAS Kicker from Black Box Solutions, the version that reads the faults and clears them. No faults on the dash? I'm inclined to think you have a pump problem or more likely the driver pack is playing up.

So if the pump and airbags are new and you have no leaks, it can only be the driver pack, located on the side of the solenoid block, the solenoid block itself, or maybe a height sensor. Or bad connections which the P38 seems to suffer more than it's fair share.

Dave check the airlines where they go in to the airbags. As the metal collets bite in to the plastic tube they deform a little over time (both collet and tube) and the o-rings inside the collet can also start to flatten. Yank the tube out a couple of times (such as when changing a bag) and they no longer seal. you might need to cut back the tube a little, you might need a new collet or new o-rings inside. Next check all the pipes running in and out of the EAS box AND the base of the air exhaust. Little hidden leaks in any of these places often missed by a hurried soap/water test. Infact don't mix any water, just use dishwashing liquid straight. If it ain't foamy the bubbles are easier to spot. All this is fiddly stuff but not too difficult, nor expensive. Good luck!
CHEERS RASHEED we did the soapy water test after we fitted the new airbags,checked the valve block,we even checked the air drier ,nothing

No, a kicker will only reset the fault. To read them, you need a Faultmate.
