Right had the orange/red warnings diagnosed now. Vehicle doesn't lower or anything and still goes up and down normally when the warning lights aren't on. But it was recording faults.
Apparently it is the valve downstream of the air dryer not working properly?
Anyone got a simple diagram of what the system looks like schematically? Just to see which bit they are talking about.

ISTR that there's a couple of valves connected downstream to the air dryer:
1. The exhaust valve within the main compressor body. When this fails it "usually" vents the whole system though and stops it from going up or down.
2. Front valve block
3. Rear valve block.
It seems to be more common for the exhaust valve to fail than any of the others if this helps  2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue

Could be the dryer failing. There seem to have been a lot recently in the UK (freezing moisture in the dryer?) “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
