Ah, that would explain what the guy at the tyre place was doing then :lol:

Still not much help for 2 days, but IIRC either opening the bottom tailgate, or the driver's door, inhibits the EAS. You'd still want to put the body on axle stands if you were working on it, though.

Had a look under the rangie today when I got back from work
All the air bags look in really good nick - tried spraying them with some soapy water and no sign of leaks - couldn't hear any air escaping from anywhere either, including round about the reservoir and pipes I could trace - must admit it was getting darkish by this time so maybe a plan if I can get it onto my mate's ramp during the week or when I have time
Took the filter off the end of the compressor and put my finger over the hole - some suction present but unsure how strong it should be
After the suspension got itself up to height the compressor was quite hot to touch - is this normal ? - it also cut in for about 20 sec every minute or so but did not run continuously, which I hope is a good sign
I know I have air escaping from somewhere as it does go to the bumpstops after about 3 days and needs about 2 min for suspension to come up to height after about 1 day - under a day then it is almost instant - have noticed it doesn't go down as quick now I am parking on the flat
Anyone got any further thoughts ?
Thanks
Kenny

Parking on flat groudn will make a difference. It could also be that the O rings in the valves weep a bit, some of them are non-return valves for the pressurised system.
Anyway, it sounds like it's holding pressure for a day in the tank, which is good. Possibly your pump is past it's best.
