The slow raising could indicate a tired compressor or a valve block issue. The valve blocks aren't expensive - about £100 each - and relatively easy for a garage to fit. There are three of them, one for each axle and one for the reservoir tank that also directs air to each axle block.

Let us know how you get on. If getting low power mode whilst engine is running, then dodgy battery or alternator (or both!) Bodsys Brake Bible

Well the dealership have had the car for the week.. can't seem to reproduce the low power mode for the stereo. They're going to carry out some more tests on Monday apparently but hopefully, it was just a minor thing that has corrected itself (maybe the battery had been drained quite a bit when they had it before and my mianly short journeys hadn't quite replenished it properly).

Well, they replaced the height sensor related to the suspension problems, but the raising issue is still apparent (argh!!).

New compressor I suspect. Live values would tell you the temperature it's running at. Bodsys Brake Bible

Well it was due to be delivered back to me today. They've had it since last Monday(!). After trying to claim there was nothing wrong with it, and that I Must keep emptying the compressor tanks (I don't sit there playing with the heights! it goes into access mode when parked for easy of our young lads getting in and out and only goes into off-road height when I want to wash under the wheel arches).. they called me yesterday to arrange re-delivery and said that they had reconfigured the suspension.. I figured it was a possibility, due to the height sensor having been replaced on the front and that the rear raises without issue... alas, I got a call lunchtime today saying my car was "playing up again" and that they've now had to order another part that's due in tomorrow.. argh!
