Suspension......at my wits end!
Right Folks.
Hitachi compressor, gave it a complete overhaul seals kit and air dryer filtration kit, valve block's X3 overhaul, brand new reservoir. Thought I had solved the problem took her a run suspension light stayed off, thought I would try off road height, bing! the dreaded light came on, same again entry height selected. What can I try now?
Cheers
Kenny

New AMK compressor , I’ve never had any lasting success with repaired compressors.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

You would need to read the faults again as things may have changed after the compressor rebuild.
However is seems there is still a leak somewhere, could be at the reservoir, pipework, or the cap on the drier which is a known failure point between the voss connectors unless you have replaced it.
Check the codes again and note them, clear them and drive the car until the fault reoccurs, then read the codes again and post results here. yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

to search for the leak you can easily spray some soapy water on the connecting points. Bubbles will come up where the leak is.
Do not forget to check the air reservoir.Achim

If I understand it, he requested off road height, and it drops to access.
Doesn't sound like a compressor fault to me.
More like sensor / calibration problem, or air tank leak possibly
