Did you disconnect the battery before you started the job?
If you didn't there's every chance you've mucked up the ride height settings.

What bags did you use
Land Rover ones with the threaded pipe insert at the top of the bag or
Aftermarket (Dunlop etc) with the push fit pipe insert at the top.
If the 2nd option make sure you have pushed the pipe in all the way.
Also a good time to check the sensors as they don't last forever

I did the same thing recently, although only one side was dropping, it was the valve block which is next to the compressor, undo the 2 screws and lift it up so you can see whats going on, leave the air connections on, and give it a squirt of soapy water and look for bubbles.
Good Luck

Thanks for the replays
Had a look today and the drivers side pipe going into the valve block was/is leaking.
As all of the " how to threads " say DO NOT CROSS THREAD OR OVER TIGHTEN! With this in mind I only loosened the fittings and waited longer for the air to come out. I was not overly satisfied when tightening back up as it didn't feel a positive connection.
It looks like a previous r epair has been done with PTFE tape???.
So I'm not sure of the best course of action is has anyone seen this repair as I am not keen to buy a second hand one or a new one.

Mine was leaking from one of the valves/solenoids not actual fitting, is it possible that the thread had been over tightened or crossed before you got the car, sounds like that may be the case if its been wrapped in ptfe tape if the thread has gone I reckon it'll have to be another valve block
