But if I click the up button on that corner it does rise But the on screen value dont change! Is that right?

The numbers don't look that strange if the ground is not level. The number should change. I don't often use that screen, I use the calibration screen, but after you have clicked the up button you may have to click on the get sensor heights to show the change, I'm afraid I cannot remember.

Was a smooth road with front about 3" lower due to faceing downhill

You need to be on level ground. Ideally the sensor readings should be within two beats of each other side to side. You DO NOT take the readings sat in the car. Or set a height sat in the car then get out of the car to measure the arches. The heights and readings will change as you do so.

Ah good call dint think of that
but ive put the bypass valves on to rule out a leak and to run around untill the replacment sensor arrives
didnt realise how much pressure the springs hold
70psi to bring it up to standerd height
 
right ive been playing with the sensors jamesmartin kindly sent me and its not making much sence
the hight readings on the rr are always higher than the rest when the car is level
not just be a few but by 20-30 so I tried a different sensor and the same?
if I try to store the messurment that gives a level car I immediately get a fault "target hights incorrect"

Any one of the height settings on any level will give you that problem,
you need to adjust the level a couple of points at a time to try to level it.
Maybe the high front needs to come down a bit which will also bring the opposite rear up a bit..
Have you checked the connector for corrosion?
Put up a photo of the calibration screen after you have done a "Read All"
 
Hope you recorded all the original settings before you changed anything. If not you could be in for a world of pain.

but with these the rear right is always alot lower than the rest

Lower than the rest at all height settings? What is the actual measurement of the front left and right rear at standard height?
At standard height, the front left is 112 which is a higher number compared to the others, might be worth dropping that number a couple of points at a time.
 
front right is 19" and the rest are sitting at around 17" (+ -1/4" cos I havet fine tuned yet) but at standard but the rear right is down to 14"
I see were your going with decrecing the front left but its the sensor readings that's wrong cos its reading so much higher to get it to sit level

Take no notice of the sensor readings, if 3 are sitting at 17" and FR at 19, your problem is the front right is high, that will make the left rear low. Change the numbers in the left front a little at a time.
How level is it at access, motorway & wading?

sorry front left is high
 
Just having a bit of a rethink
asuming the eas works out hight by resistance from the sensor!
Does a high resistance=high reading in eas?
All this started when my mecanic did my break lines and he said he had to open the gap between body and chassis!
If hes traped and damaged (but not broke)a wire! Would that give a higher reading?

He would have moved sensor outside it's normal travel and may have upset the sensor potentiometer reaching dirty area
and now contaminated in normal travel area, just a qualified guess;)
 
Would a short it the wireing give me a high reading on the eas unlock program? ive swoped a confermd working sensor from the left to the right and the problem stays on the right side
I also droped it to the bumpstops and three wheels were giving readings between 50-60 and the suspect corner was reading 98 ???

If you start feeling irregular vibration that comes and goes on P38, it could be the EAS compressor!
