I tried to pull the eas delay timer and the casing came off in my hand leaving the relay motherboard in place . Is there a clip you have to push?

It does that

No clip but the contacts are tight. If you are parked in a safe place, propping the upper tailgate open a few millimetres will have the same effect as removing the relay.

+1 on try the tailgate trick. If where you park makes that a bad idea, you could take Fuse 44 out, which has the same effect as removing the relay.

Remove the inlet filter from the compressor to prove it's sucking by applying you finger to the inlet.

My exhaust is ****ed , previous owner had one of those cheap eBay back box deletes , it doesn't seal at all and doesn't join up to my center box like a half inch gap in the join.

So the air line travel passenger side down towards the rear and across past the boot floor to the other air bag?

If so the heat shield that sits Infront of the boot floor has rusted loose and is hanging on by a thread.

And that's extremely close to where my back box is blowing.

Melted pipes are likely. buy yourself a length of pipe and run temporary feeds to the rear bags.

I had a quick look at the lines around the exhaust and nothing seems to be melted, might have to get the car in ramps as I've got next to no wiggle room.

I also pulled fuse 44 and it dropped equally at the rear by 2 inches in less than an hour, the fronts didn't drop at all .

That coupled with the vibration from my compressor is giving me a right head ache.

Hard to see pin hole leaks in melted pipes.

The rear airlines are much harder to get into the airbags than the fronts. Maybe they are simply not fully seated ?

Plus there is a collar molded into the pipe to aid insertion, if the pipe has been cut back, the collar will prevent full insertion.
