hi Keith and welcome to the asylum

may i ask what year is urs plse , when u look at the suspension lever inside the landy , can u see a red line next to it

have u checked the fuses first
under the bonnet ,
F26 -20amp
F3 -5amp
FL10 -60 amp fuse

passenger side fuse box , F35 - 5 amp

also the relay , R7 , u can bypass this , is also in the engine bay fuse box, how old is ur compressor plse , have u had it plugged into a diagnostics

does the suspension drop overnight

if after you've checked the above, here is ur ch checklist

1/voltage at the compressor ,
2/ if no voltage , there are 3 x connectors behind the wheel arch cover, front passenger side , there known for wires failing in these connectors

plse let us know how u get on and can then walk u through it step by step , start with the fuses and relay and we can go from there

ref the dvd , see urs is the HSE, sorry can't help with that

@lynall or @sierrafery may know, hope u didn't mind me tagging u

Also if u could .. I need a roof box.. do I need rails and whats best buy ..

hi

as it raises and lower ur wiring etc is ok, compressor may be getting tired if it changes very slowly, was going from ur first post when u said it wouldn't raise or lower

better to get it plugged into a diagnostic machine to see what the psi is

u need the roof rails then the rails to go across ,

the rails that are bolted to the roof come in either short or extended

if u do a search on google then look at pics u will see the difference

plenty around second hand , approx £50 for short one but imagine u will need extended if ur going to get a cargo box

as urs in a HSE it may already have the roof rails bolted to the roof

hope that helps

Think it does so just need to get the box and it fixes to thst .. are these universal ? .. ye it goes up and down quick but manual toggle doesn't operate it .. only the twist and then select low gears .. would be good if i could update the media ceiling dvd thing

Thank you
