Do you have "Hard fault?". If yes and you have "35mph" message then system needs reset using diagnostics or RSW software on a lap top
Worth having a read of Wammers guide in the Technical Section at top of page
 
I havn`t had any messages come on dashboard im being told now there are no faults recorded after these items have been replaced is it possible the compressor pump could be working but not pumping enough air to lift car
 
Lift the compressor out. Three 8mm nuts.
Undo the blue pipe, 12mm spanner and start the car up. The compressor should blow your finger off the output, if not the seal has worn inside the pump. The ecu will wait for a certain amount of time for the vehicle to lift when asked. If it doesn't react it'll go into fault mode and drop to the bump stops and shout about it. Check the compressor for a good air output. ;)

The EAS ECU almost never fails. If the car is not lifting, it could be a hard fault which should give an error message, or a leak which could be an airspring, an air line or the valve block or even a blown fuse.
You can check the compressor using Wammers guide in the tech archive.
The garage have just replaced things without any idea what they are doing.
The only answer is diagnostics

+2.

Check Wammers post in the Technical Section and follow it through.
 
And another vote here for Wammers technical guide. If not for this logical testing regime and more than a bit of common sense from the lads on here I'd still be driving on the bump stops!
