Compressor does get warm. You may have a leak somewhere if it is running quite often. If car stays up when parked. You may have a leak in the pressure side tank to valve block. Or NRV1 in valve block. Or small 4mm pipe to diaphragm solenoid valve. Or diaphragm solenoid valve itself. After a good run try setting car to low position over night. In morning it should rise almost straight away. If it does not the pressure storage side is leaking.

it seemed to raise straight away today, will go for a drive in the snow tonight and leave it low over night and see what happens cheers again

Compressor running temperature is 120C. It does not need to run for long to get bloody hot.
