Ongoing efforts to foil "pressure static" fault - Welshdragon's replacement of the pressure switch didn't work, so I had a look at the valve block.

That's the wrong diagram for the pressure sensor, it shows the compressor temperature sensor and valves in the compressor. You want the next page of the manual

Joe90...sorry to hijack, but you say that if the car is on axles stands and you deflate the susp airbags, the wheels will lift?...is that on all years as I thought that the system only allowed wheels to raise when under weight from gravity ( ie when car pushes them down)?

I only had axle stands under one side of the car, and with this side wheels up on 4" blocks, so the tilt as the other side went right down may have caused this effect. That said there was no weight on the axle stands when I started to deflate and the wheels were off the blocks when finished, so there must have been a bit of "Citroen" effect going on.

when you remove the head off the wabco compressor, you should see the flat reed ( metal) valve shown below as you turn it over
