You have all the doors shut when trying the compressor? |

No LED's means hard fault. Req a dealer, RAC, hawkeye, faultmate etc to reset. Once this is done you will be sorted for all heights. [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]

What did they try and clear it with and what was the exact fault? |

I use this and have never had a problem clearing faults, excellent for diagnostics to.

Iv'e no idea what they used when trying to clear the fault. They are a good outfit, it's Green Oval in Leeds. However i would have preferred it if they would have explained that i may risk having the suspension sagging down should the re-set fail.

Back to basics, have you checked the fuses and compressor relay?
This is the compressor relay, number 4. above the rear fuses. For now remove relay and then push back in. ![]() Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated ![]() |

Was the compressor working (albeit lazily) before you replaced the ring? |

It wasn't really working but it was held at the right height. Did jack it up at the front causing it to sag but it levelled itself out again after a few mins. Now it's completely knackerd, it appears I've made it worse by taking it to bits even though I replaced the piston ring and gave it all a good general clean up.

It's interesting you got the compressor to work for a few seconds after removing the relay. I assume this is the first time you have got the compressor to activate since you dismantled it

Yes mate that is an interesting point, though the garage did try another one . I guess they are bog standard relay, I might nick one from somewhere else just tho try it. |

It's a 50A relay, not sure there is another one on the car.
