Can you give me a little more to go on . How do I get at this connection. Why would it be damp?

I believe the one they are referring to is the one behind the kick panel on the left-hand (passenger) side.

Why is a good question. Mine's a '95 and looks perfect but many others have not been so lucky. So, not sure why.

One of the connections behind the trim panel is the interface from the height selector switch to the ECU. If it gets damp and corroded interaction may take place which can send false signals to the ECU.
 
Mine has done that for years. I have had it on Testbook. Autoligic and launch. No faults showed up. All sensors checked for movement and resistance and the white plug checked for corrosion and given a squirt of switch cleaner just in case. It still does it, often two or three times on a short run to town. If I catch it on the button just as it starts flashing up it will return to normal. I have lived with this problem for over five years, in which time I have had to replace the pump and air springs. I have the software to reset all the heights and did this measuring each corner height. It is sometimes slow to respond to the button if I want to put it to access mode but for the times that is needed I have just put up with it.

Take a look at the selector switch then. It is full of electronics not just a simple switch. That is why the two versions AMR5823 and YUF101930 cost £324.02 and £349.42 each respectively.
 
The suspension has been a pain lately. I have got at the connector in the front nearside post . There's no damp but there is some corrosion. One pin looks to have broken to me...do i just remove the wire and join up out of pin? Its a red/grey wire if that means anything. Dare i just spray contact cleaner into the plugs to clean the corrosion ?
 
I snipped the wire and soldered it out of the connector block. Further investigation and I seem to have an issue with the block connector that connects to the pump. The spades on both connections look ok but slight movement kicks the pump on and off. Any idea why ?
 
I followed the red grey wire and it connects to the obd port so maybe thats the reason I have had issues getting the pc to connect. I think its the spade connectors gone soft in the 3 pin plug connecting the pump. How do I repair this can a new connector be bought?

There is no Red/Grey wire on datalink connector. There is however a Grey/Red wire to pin 1 which goes to the delay timer relay. If by pump you mean compressor there should be no wire of either colour code to compressor plug.
