Thanks DT. Yes, that's understood. I was trying a spot of self-help before posting this thread and found a chap who wrote on here in 2014 about the mare he was having with his EAS going into fault mode, when it apparently self rectified a week or two later (either battery was less cold or wet...

Sorry. Front Right Sensor. Typing too quickly with shorthand that only makes sense to me.

Update. Bl##dy stupid car is now behaving itself. All started up no drama or fault codes. Took a while to get pressure up and lift to normal height, but we got there. ECU seems to be doing its job as I could feel it working out the levels for each corner as it settled comfortably. Will pop...

Thanks all. I'll try a bit of first aid on the height sensor to see if I can crawl the motor 2 miles to my 4x4 garage and get him to fit a new sensor. While I appreciate it should be a DIY job, swapping out the air bags took the guy four hours last time as everything was seized solid...

Happy New Year everyone. You were a massive help after my P38 conked out on the M1 last year. The car has had four new air bags and a new compressor under 2k miles ago. Last week the car went into limp home mode after the full light display on the dash. I got home ok. Suspension still up...

WOOP WOOP WOOP! Sorted at last. After much head scratching and swearing at EAS Unlock failing to clear the codes, I scramble under car (with support from Gucci new axle stands) and give RH height sensor connector a good douse with contact cleaner. No more dash faults or fully illuminated ride...

Sorry. I should crawl around under the car first, ask questions later. Sorry. I've found what looks like the height sensor. £70 for that???? And the electrical connector is pretty exposed to road salt, sh!t and mud. There's nothing obviously broken or awry there, but I'll give the plug contacts...

Thanks wammers' and Grrrrrr Mr Storey also says remove and refit C117 EAS multi plug. I have managed to find what and where that is. Where please is the FR height sensor wiring harness? So is it an idea to remove the multi plug, give it a blast of air and a squizz of contact cleaner? I'm...

Hussar!! I feel victorious. And that's only because I've loaded the RSW unlock software onto my daughter's computer (battery power of an ox), installed USB adapter driver, plugged the whole lot into the car, got the thing working, cleared fault codes, forced pump to run, raised car to normal ish...

Fab. Thanks. That explains a lot and saved me asking another unnecessary question. I'll sit tight and wait on Postman Pat bringing my computer cable.

Thanks. I'm probably being impatient. Yes, I'm getting good air pressure out of the compressor. With the car currently down low I'm restricted in what I can actually see. Will go back to wammers' thread and see how to test the NRV.

Thanks. I'm just getting a compressor straight from Kurt. Simples..... I managed the bridging Relay 20 trick last night and ran the compressor while squirting everything in sight in the engine bay (not literally everything) with leak detection fluid. No visible bubbles from anything I can...

I've also now discovered helpful videos on the RSW YouTube page.

Sorry. Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Update - I have arriving tomorrow cable to connect car to computer and RWS software to diagnose and clear fault code. New air bags ordered. New compressor ordered. Hope that's it. Thanks for all your help.

Hi Everyone Sorry to scrounge, but is there anyone local to Hitchin with a NANOCOM/laptop with P38 EAS software to help me diagnose the fault on my Rangey? I've a new compressor on order (it WAS fine til I buggered it) and new airbags, but I could do with tracking down the actual source of the...

No I hadn't, but thanks. I have seen videos of how to replace the airbags, but I can only park on the side of a residential side street so even if I had the right jack and axel stands, I'd be stopping work and getting out of the road every thirty seconds to let a Tesco delivery van go past...

Found the thermal switch. Quite cheap. Then found fitting instructions. Bit of a f@nny!

Thanks Wammers. Been through your post. Continuity on the compressor between orange n black. Compressor runs nice and strong with good output when powered directly to black and green. However, with my clumsy claws I did touch the positive feed against the orange connection at one point. Now...

One last thing, will the RWS software actually tell me where any leaks might lie? As in some of the locations mentioned already? Or will I need to crawl round with squirty bottle of soapy water? It will definitely be a garage job to change out the airbags though, I'm just not set up for that...

I'll say!
