I'm not throwing money at this motor prob do the bags then the compressor will fail its been driven for nearly 80 miles on its ar$e.
If I remember it didn't lift from the button on the dash so I have an underlying problem anyway, also I do
not have the remote to lower it for towing & I don't go off-road in it. I have 2 other landys
I only use it for going to work & chucking my tools & cr@p in.
Got a spare bag off a mate
Jacked it up bag off & on less than 5 mins & started the engine & compressor was running
but didn't inflate, removed the cover sprayed soapy water over the pipes no leaks (all doors closed)
turned the engine off took the key out & the compressor buzzed on & off about 5/6 times anyone had this.
Cheers

Yes, used them for unloading, getting to bolts I cannot reach, fetching and carrying.
Raining though but I hope work have remembered my week off

kevstar,
Not uncommon, unless you disconnected the battery, and jacked the car up on the tow bracket, it is likely that the sensors now need re-calibrating, as they will be "confused". You could try closing all doors and windows, leaving ignition on or better start engine and jack back up slowly off the tow bracket. Sometimes this kicks the compressor back into sense again, otherwise sounds like they need re-setting. Find somebody near you with a Nanocom or Hawkeye to do it for you, but remember the values in Nanocom are just that "values", they are not actual heights. You must measure with a tape from the centre of the hub the the wheel arch, not liner to get it right.
It is quite usual for the compressor to run even while ignition is off as long as all doors and windows are closed. Some cars do some don't, at least you know it is working.

The compressor is shot, I had a mate put it on the latest snap on diagnostic & re-set everything
so I have put a couple of springs on it atm (so it is usable), I only use is as a run about & for work
which is local anyway. I am looking for a nice D2 hence why I'm not spending any money on this
one, plus I have 2 projects to finish haha
