Is this an L322?
 
Most of the EAS experience on here is with the P38, you're a bit of a pioneer with the L322.

For what its worth the pressure switch fault sounds the same as the P38 and would indicate a worn compressor as the first place to start.
 
The pressure static fault usually ends up with a new compressor - the "turtle" under the spare wheel.Apt name really as most seem to end up swimming in about 2" of water.Early production cars had dodgy software which threw this code,it was got round by downloading a new software tune into the eas ecu.Cant imagine there are many left that have not been done tho.
The other fault needs fuller wording,or was there a code number with it ?

Think the VA is 'vertical articulation' whatever that means. Got it from RSW sites list of codes.
 
Thanks every body ,guess I 'll have to have it back to the stealers,will phone them Mon to see if the upgrades have all been done Thanks for looking Roger
 
THe BBS guy should know what the codes mean he has designed diagnostics for these apparently. Over to you BBS.
 
VA signal update,,,Hi Guys ,well I had a trip to Ian Barkly's garage on the Wirrel,cos the guy I bought the RR from insisted it went there for Diog.test ,apparantly he had spent £400 with him prior to selling to make sure all was ok.Initial test show possible comp replacement.and after 7hours search (and I know because I stood by all day at the side of my RR)he found the battery drain as HEAvac switch ,to be replaced next week as non in stock,phone the vendor &told him,he refused to pay for a pump .Garage man reset all and I came away with Fuse 12 tempory pulled out and instuctions "see how u go on and ring me next week the pump might just be lazy"Reason for the all day diog time was that process of illimination takes 20 minutes for the RR to go to sleep after each diog prog is tested ,this was all very interesting and I gleamed lots of info while chatting to Ian ,what a nice man!So o o o whatch this space !Roger ps. EAR behaved perfectly up to now .just taking fuse 12 out at night to save battery drain till new hevac arrives .

Now confirmed ,Va message is to do with pump stopped or lazy or lazy and my battery drain was the heavac switch ,thanks to all who tried .taking it back for a service & new switch ,hope the pump hangs in there and I get a few more mpg after the service,22/24 at the moment (L322)??

That sounds right,it was early production,2A and 3A MY L322's that had that fault.It may be worth a friendly phone call to the service department to see if there are any outstanding recall actions on your car.
I'm still not convinced about the VA fault code,there should be more wording - what diagnostic kit was used ?
