At a guess.....I'd say through your rear lense, there is a filter for the air suspension, take it off and blow some air through the system with a air gun. Maybee just maybee that'l do the trick if there is water there somewhere. Hope that helps a little, I'm no expert but you got nothing to lose.

I've had exactly that issue with mine lately...... as above try the filter first...... fortunately a friend has let me borrow his spare compressor to try and all good so far.... or it's probably tell tale signs it's on it's way out - new compressor time for you like it is for me !!

Ok will look at the filter, thanks for the help

Looked at filter and the white fine filter at the bottom was frozen solid. Got to wait to try and blow the system out

When you defrost the filter make sure that a, you get it absolutely dry and b. if the filter assembly has lost it's black cap, re-route/extend the black rubber drain pipe that ends just above it.
