Suspension won't raise - compressor gone south?

Did a guided calibration with my GAP IID tool yesterday as the car was 10mm high at the front according to the specs. It was getting dark so I only got it roughly right (within a few mm) and tried to do it again just now but the suspension will only adjust down and not up. Then tried going to off road height and it wouldn't raise. The dash info then said wait until the compressor cools. Left it 1/2 hour and still hardly any lift. It drops down fast enough. Reset the EAS to original settings in the IID tool but still not going up. No faults. Was working fine for access and off road modes last week and quickly going up.

UPDATE looks like I messed up the calibration as the front right height sensor was showing over 20000mm! A quick drive around and it was back to a normal value and the suspension went up OK (ish) but on the 2nd attempt the compressor got hot. Going to keep an eye on this and maybe worth just getting a new compressor for peace of mind as it's an easy swop. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I refurbished mine with a kit from XR8 and it’s been great since. Super quick to raise and lower. Christian.

the FF is supposed to be higher at the front by one cm...why change it unless you want it to look level... ... - .- -.

It was 10mm higher than the spec so 505mm instead of 493 and the rears were a bit down at 475mm. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

All seems OK today although it still takes quite a while to go from standard to off road height - >1min. Watching the live values on the IID tool screen the exhaust valve is opening 100% and the pump temp is not going over 80deg going from cold but if I lift it again it overheats. No pump operation in normal driving so it's not working to top up a leak. 'Gallery' pressure is >200psi when pump operating and holds at 37psi when off. Before I order a new pump is there anything else apart from a leak (not likley) that's causing a slow normal - offroad height change? 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)
