But he's a proper man Tony, never read the manual.
That's ok for flat pack wardrobes and book cases but not for P38s they are slightly more complex.

So tell me do I put the water in the kettle before or after I have turned it on?

Now you have played with the EAS settings, it would be a good idea to calibrate all the heights, make a measuring stick with the correct heights marked on it Heights are in the How To section I believe, then measure each corner for one height setting, eg normal height, and then adjust in very small steps until all corners are within 5mm of the correct height. Remember, adjusting one corner will affect all the others due to weight transfer so it takes time to get it right. When all is good on normal height you can go on to wading height, motorway and access.
Write down all the settings before you alter anything.

Thank you datatek at least someone isn't picking on me I will look for the heights in rave.
I will first unplug the nanocom from the kettle as I think I've bugged this up now also.
I was trying to change the boiling temperature [emoji1]

You will not find the heights in RAVE, dealers use a different procedure that requires having a set of calibration blocks that are placed between the axle and the bump stops.
the heights are in the How To section, or do a search Saint.V8 posted a very clear chart of heights.

Hi guys. Thanks for all your help again
I've just got home and jumped into my car and she still starts
Alarm fault is gone
Air con lamp is gone
Window set message is gone
No water in the passengers footwell
But the EAS fault has come back.
I think it's were she is cold because when she warms up again the suspension works fine again.
So my plan of action is to save up my money again and replace the lot as I don't know the history of what work has been done on the EAS.
I think I'm going to get the following
Ride height sensors for all four corners
New set of air springs
New compressor
And if this does not do the trick I will sell her and by a new pair of shoes [emoji3]

the EAS fault may be just because you have fiddled with the heights and it's going out of range.
I wouldn't change all the height sensors unless you know one or more are actually faulty.
Changing the airbags if you don't know the age is a good move.
No need for a new compressor, just fit a new seal and cylinder, not hard to do.

On of the messages on the fault codes are to do with the rear left height sensor
I don't mind replacing the lot as I will then know the history of it
I will do the levelling before I do anything throw

OK, one may be faulty, or it could just be corrosion in the connector. The sensors are not cheap.
