That fault seems to be very old, and the car has travelled a lot of miles since it occured. I'm no expert on this, but I think thats a red herring.

the mileage is the total mileage for the car for some reason. Faults have been cleared down many times so it is a bit odd. but all the fault codes i checked had the same mileages - even though the days differed slightly.
Cant think what else it would be though.  Duncan

Would say that these faults were when the car was built, would guess that the milage shown is what is on your speedo now give or take a bit.
I had similar on my car when I looked with the Faultmate. All I did was cleared them.
Look for newer faults with recent time/mileage or clear the faults and then monitor what is happening.

I have cleared the faults down / or the dealer has, lots of times over the last 4 years, and never had these before. My guess is that faultmate is coming up with the wrong mileage in this case.
Ive had no faults reported for the last few months, then suddenly these after i got the suspension light.
Im guessing the mileage is a red herring in this case.
Im kind of expecting the compressor to fail any minute as its the orignal and spent most of its life incased in mud..
Maybe i'll just change the compressor and see what happens - maybe keep a spare LHS and RHS height sensor handy as well.. Duncan

I cannot see the connection between height sensor messages and the compressor. The only concrete fault mentioned is the left front height sensor signal but the front valve block or its wiring might also be of concern. Has the wiring behind the left front wheel been checked to make sure it hasn't been damaged by the tyre? Home of LLAMS, for LRs and Jeep GCs

FWIW, I was getting the Amber "wobbly disco" light on the dashboard until chafed/corroded wires were identified & swapped out. YLR. Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

I only seem to get it when offroad ie in offroad height - but it occured infrequently.
I left car in offroad height yesterday afternoon about 14:00, and just looking outside the window its still in the same position, so possbily no leaks.. Duncan
