You need to check the heights of each wheel outside the car with a measure. Don't have the list of heights for each mode to hand, but I copied it from this forum, I'm sure it was saintv8 that posted the full list (do a search for ride heights), measuring from top of wheel arch to top of rim. Raise/lower the heights of each wheel with the software until you get it correct. Will need to parked on level ground.

In the calibration tab, you need to get all heights and write them down, then using a measure from the wheel centre to the rim check the heghts, in the lower set of boxes, increase to raise or decrease to lower the value of the corner you wish to adjust for a given height setting. Only adjust by 2 to 5 points or you may go out of range and have to start again. Then click write on the row where you have made a change, then go and measure all 4 corners again, keep adjusting a little at a time until all 4 corners are correct. Remember that adjusting one corner will affect the others due to weight transfer. Do all the heights, access, motorway, standard and wading one at a time.

Vehicle must be on flat level ground.

That's the problem it is on flat level ground, and its still showing access height light on with normal ride height flashing. But when it does come up the backs to height, the front is around 18 inch's from centre of the wheel to arch the back is around 24 inch's. It feels like a dragster.

So there is a height sensor problem or a calibration problem.
Have you been changing sensors?

Took the car out today, it performed OK is, went down to motorway load the got off it went up to normal more. The same on the way back until the last 3 miles then you've guess it up comes EAS fault, the car stayed at normal height all the way home. Plunged it in no faults ?, came out of that and all lights a bleeps going of so plunged it back in and up came a list as long as your arm, cleared them and it seamed OK. The only thing I could not do is manually raise the car but the dash board button, then it goes nuts again. Re plunged it in no faults but the can't get the car to go up at all, checked the ride heights as soon as I reenter the heights the car comes up. Unplug again and its back to square one again, nothing happening. Going to check the height sensors to see if there the problem. This is driving me F**kun nuts, if this won't work it to a garage. Ouch.

If I use the Schrader valves do I unplug the compressor.?. So it won't be running for nothing.
Seems to me you want someone who knows what they are doing to look at it. A list as long as your arm is bad comms with the ECU. It is just listing all the possible fault codes.

If you connect the valves, pull out the eas relay (under passenger seat) to disable system.
As wammers says if you are getting a huge list of faults then the software isn't connecting properly.
That is if the garage know what they are doing. Which in many cases with the EAS is not to often.

Hooray. Found the fault drivers side air bag or pipe, a soon a we raised the car to full height you could hear the air coming out and the compressor going mad, but as soon as it was dropped the air leak stopped and the compressor stopped as well. Just ordered new air bags and clips I know what I'll be doing this weekend.
Thought you had done a leak check?
