For no reason the EAS has stopped working, there are no lights to indicate level etc, this happened I think while car parked, ie on when switched off and noticed next time I used her no EAS, comes up with warning on dash. Ive checked the 2 fuses listed 57 and 88 and both fine.

I had the same symptoms when my air compressor failed. No lights, nothing on dash although the car was sitting pretty low. 2017 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography

Lights go out whenever a suspension fault has been occurred, and this could be caused by any one of a fairly large number of things. You could try pressing your 'check control' button - that may give you a suspension fault message (but won't specify what the problem is). Better way would be to use an IID tool or other code reader, if the compressor is goosed you should get a 'pressure static when filling' fault. 2006 (56 Reg) 4.4 V8 Vogue In Bonatti Grey (Gorgeous!!) |

I think if all of the EAS lights are out it indicates a hard fault and only able to be cleared with an IIDtool or the like..... ______________________________

OK cleared the only fault, reservoir losing pressure and its all working again but the reservoir had not lost pressure as the car stayed at the correct height

The reservoir can be losing pressure and the vehicle will stay at correct height due to the front and rear valves locking off. Possibly problem with reservoir pressure sensor or reservoir control valves block, or a pipe leak somewhere. .

I was pondering the problem of locating leaks today whilst working on my suspension.
