No, none at all. though the air drier was very damp so I gave it all a good going over with heat gun to dry it out.

If you wish to test the compressor you can un-plug it and put 12V directly onto the terminal that the large dia Red/ White cable goes onto and earth the brown cable terminal. Need a decent dia cable and you will get a few sparks as you touch the terminal. Very Happy

Tried it today and yes the compressor runs. Let it run for a while in short bursts so as not to burn it out but it didn't lift the suspension. it's as if its not man enough to pump it up.

I know it's a pain but you really need the specific fault code to narrow the search otherwise it's a very long process of elimination.

Perhaps someone local has a reader you could borrow?

Sounds like its not pressurising, if the compressor is running and you are getting airflow out of it then the air needs to go somewhere, it obviously isn't going into the reservoir or springs.

Have a look at rave as it lists all of the individual components and you can get an idea where the air could escape. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

The garage didnt actually give me the fault code, the read out just said EAS reservior static when filling.

First look in your EAS compressor at your dryer patrone, and also at your valve for the going out pressure, then change your reservoir-sensor RQH000130, (best price at island 4x4, 38,00 GBP + VAT), some guys in USA want 100 $ !!!!, clear the faults, and all becomes good...

Just a quick update, compressor still doing the job and no dreaded EAS errors.
