Ive got a 2004 Vogue and it was displaying the air suspension inactive message for months, despite the air suspension working fine.

Yesterday the back end just sank all of a sudden, it’s really low practically on the tyres.

I’ve had the front changed before and that dropped at one side rather than both together. Does that make it unlikely it’s the bags that have gone & more likely it’s the compressor?

Welcome back. Long time no see. Does that mean you found a mechanic in Leeds?

A leaking airbag would be my first thought as it dropped suddenly.
 
Are the EAS lights on the dash still illuminated of are they out?

One of my rear height sensors broke (arm snapped ) last week on my birthday would you have it as the missus was driving us home from a family meal.

It throw the Air sus inac 'Hard fault', so will throw the lights out on the dash height selector switch. Fault was something similar to 'articulation validity invalid' a quick view on diagnostics of the height sensor live readings soon gave away the culprit. (NSR was like -250mm or something )
 
Well at least he did a good job , at a good price, and maybe quicker than you could have done it ;)
Well he certainly did it quicker than I would have done. He didn’t order the parts for 4 days it was just sat there, he was a nice guy he just didn’t seem very organised.

The other side went I took it to another garage, in and out in the day.

There’s no lights on the selector switch at all. It might be a sensor, it’s sunk equally at both sides at the back but is fine at the front. Rather a sensor than the compressor anyway!

If it throws a weak compressor tell tale code, it doesn't in my experience throw up a hard fault, only a soft one ( the light still stays illuminated on dash) just can't adjust anything.
Can you jack it back up and poke your head underneath and see if the rear sensors are still intact?
Failing that diagnostics is your friend, will need them to clear fault anyway... Possibly re-calib suspension too if it is a sensor. I'd replace both rear sensors if the other looks of similar age,They aren't expensive.
