I will not know for another 2 weeks, but it only lifted maybe half an inch. I will hard wire and bypass the 2 footwell connectors first as they are so corroded. Then lift with a jack and look at the one that was hissing, then work my way around all 4. The front driver side made a loud pop as...

Please could you point me to this? Is it luck the previous springs lasted 16 years or more?

It was lifted with air in the bags as it was all working then. The compressor will not come on, that is why I used a petrol station tyre inflator. Air must be leaking from all (certainly 1) so my question is if the life expectancy is 8 years max, then why have they all failed at exactly the...

OK, quick general update......... I have delays in getting things done as the car is 3+ hours drive from me. I put the emergency valves on the airlines and attempted to pump the air springs up at a petrol station tyre inflator. It made some sounds like it was trying to inflate, then popping...

yes plan to go back and work on that. Prob is the car is 150 miles away from me. Next time I visit I will go through it. Connectors are corroded, I found out today. Back down there in 2 weeks or so.

OK, so that is one issue I need to fix, I think it is caused by the passenger side connectors behind the kick panel. They are partly green with corrosion. Will try and clean them up and try again, will check driver side too if those ones affect EAS. However, the plot has thickened.. I will...

But it is talking to it. where should I start looking?

THey do not clear. Not sure what is going on. I can see the heights when it reads, so it is reading ok. Just not able to clear.

Checking the continuity of pressure switch, it is an open circuit. Fuse #24 = 5A and is ok. Fuse #29 = 10A but is missing........ Which is strange. Fuse #35 = 5A and is ok. Fuse #44 = 10A and is ok.

ok I have a list of faults from EAS Unlock (ver 3.x)

I have a good valve block, or so I believe. It was taken from a car that had a coil conversion, however, when I took off the valve block it was still holding a lot of air pressure in there. Also have the refurb kit which I was thinking of installing anyway.

Missed that, I think I had bought mine a day or so before you posted, thanks anyway.

Update - Overdue. Moved the car to a family member's house, it was on the bump stops and ouch, bumpier than I remember the last time. Glad it was only 10 miles. With credit to the guys who had it, they are really good specialists, and I think they gave up as it was costing them a lot of money...

Years ago when it first failed I drove it over 50 miles very slowly. All was ok. 10-15 is nothing, besides I cannot order the emergency kit and it arrive in time for me, it will be 2-4 days late.

No, car is actually near Salisbury in Wiltshire.

Thanks for the tips all. I am going to go along with a multimeter and check the following: 12v getting to the compressor. Check the pressure from the compressor. Check valve block exhaust. Continuity of pressure switch - open circuit below 120 psi and closed circuit at or above 140 psi. + or -...

what needs to be done to fit that kit so I can get it where I can work on it?

Hi They replaced the 2 rear height sensors saying they were at fault. Strange both of them after years of being fine. Immediately after the work was carried out. I have not seen the car for 6-8 weeks due to the distance I am from it. But from memory, it just said EAS Fault and the EAS lights...

Hi All Please help if you can. I am at a total loss with this now. 1996 P38. Owned in since approx 2010. It went into an independent specialist for an MOT and passed back in November. Then they fitted Terrafirma side steps. As I picked it up an EAS fault appeared and they have not been able...
