Thats ok.

Back to my problem,

I managed to get the basic settings done with the duff compressor although it did overheat at the end of the process as the car was increasing height from dynamic to comfort.

The rear came up fine and the front started to rise when the compressor went overheat. Result was the car went back to dynamic and the other options on the MMI greyed out. I am sure I'll get back into comfort mode once the compressor cools down, but at least all the faults have cleared and none now showing.

Compressor is cycling on/off way too often right now, it will switch on and run for 15 seconds or so, then shut off and then back on again for another 15 seconds a few minutes later. I really hope this is because of the low compressor output as it is really noisy right now and very audible in the cabin.

I did drive her yesterday in comfort mode, with the amber suspension light due to no basic settings and she sat in the office car park all day and the ride height was the same 12 hours later, so hopefully nothing is now leaking. She looks ok as the photos below show (Taken pre suspension calibration). Yes one side is slightly higher, this car park is on the **** slightly.

Next step is sort compressor, not looking forward to replacing that.

Just one quick question, does the surface used for calibration have to be completely level or just flat, eg. not on a slight slope.
