It puts the rear up first. Probably using capacity in the tank to start with.

Thanks chaps. It feels like Mikey has the most likely suspect. Once its at any height it stays there, over night, over a weekend etc no issue.

I’m not as convinced it’s a leaky reservoir anymore. I left it in access height for about three hours and thought if there’s a leak and I jump in and try to raise it it’ll struggle as before as it’ll be doing it on a empty tank..:. It didn’t, jumped in, started her up and immediately raised to normal height in around 5 seconds.... and evenly rear and front in sync

Sounds like a weak compressor to me (or an air leak) especially if it's overheating!

Requires less air pressure to go from access>normal than from normal>off road ![]() That said, it could also be a worn compressor not filling the tank fully, masked by the fact it is overheating and switching off... |

Ok guys, thanks for your help and comments. Heres where I need your thoughts/comparison on what you experience with yours and if mine is in fact normal, on the border of normal, or potentially needs some investigation

It's a little unfair and not typical operation for it to go from access to off road.

It could be ok as is. What do you guys get timing wise from a full air tank through the range? As questioned above? From what I can gather it’s variable vehicle to vehicle. The tech instructions for example say when calibrating the height, allow 5 upto mins to reach off road height.

If it carries on going to extended when lowering to access its usually:
