It would appear that my compressor is goosed
Ive done a few searches and everything seems to point in this direction

Only thing is, it has locked itself in standard ride height (light is illuminated on the switch) is this normal?

I havent had any problems previously and have read that it should of been throwing up messages for a few weeks before giving up the ghost

Anyone got any ideas??

A simple check is to look at the wiring that runs around the front struts, on mine they had worn through against inside of wheel/tyre. Just turn the steering full lock to lock and look underneath the wheelarch.
Both sides on mine were wearing through.....

Ive checked the wires and they look ok

Ive disconnected the pump in the boot and both lights have gone off altogether

try putting ignition on and turning full lock left then right, if you have not got a fault message it may do it. If not it will need connecting up to testbook etc. 2004 black Vogue TD6

You say your compressor is goosed? How have you come to this conclusion?

The EAS System is made up of various components, failures of any of these can cause problems.

The fact that it has locked itself into standard height points more to a failed height sensor, pressure sensor, valve or cross-link valve.

Take a look at the EAS Activate, this will allow you to read and reset the code - you can only reset after you've fixed the issue...

Ah I see

Is there any way to sort this without a EAS Activate??

Fix what? You don't know what the problem is yet?

You could go to the dealer for the diagnosis = £120+
You could then fix whatever the issue is = £???
You could then go back to the dealer for the code to be reset = £120+

That's a minimum of £240 - but without knowing the cause the cost could be completely open ended.

When my EAS failed the lights on the hieght adjust button went out and if I flicked it up or down to raise/lower the suspension, the relevant light came on then went out again and nothing happened. What happens if you hit the access height button on the drivers door? By the way mine was the common valve problem (blocked) on the compressor in the boot (@ £7 item if you do it yourself as shown on a thread somewhere on this forum). Steve

The message came on when I was towing the trailer, so it was in standard height and locked. When I tried to adjust it once the trailer was unhitched the corresponding light would flash. Now that I have unplugged the compressor in the boot the lights have gone out and will not come back on

This valve sounds promising, Ive done a search and cant find it

Why have you unplugged the compressor!?

You can't adjust the suspension height when a trailer is connected. Sometimes you need an ignition cycle before the system realises the trailer has been disconnected.

How did you test it? You can't just apply 12V to it as it's a 3 way plug iirc.

I know, I found out when I pulled the plug apart

So at present, I still dont know what is wrong with the damn thing

Well, going back to the beginning - you need to get the fault read. The dealer will be able to assist you with this, or EAS Activate. Some independent garages will be able to read and clear the fault too. 

check you havent blown the fuse as well theres a large fuse in the boot in the right hand side and one in the glovebox "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"
