Just a thought, can you read the actual sensor heights in the "Heights" tab. I'll have to check but something strikes me as odd about the figures in the RX column.
If there really are no faults logged, I would bet on the driver pack. All the lights flash on the switch when a fault occurs.
 
Ok - thanks

Didn't get chance to look at anything last night as it was past 7:00 when I finally made it home, so light was fading fast and my belly was shouting "feed me" and I managed to make it home with no fault

but something is defiantly wrong!! I went out this morning at around 6:55 and "EAS Fault" as soon as I turn the key!!

laptop in - clear message drive to work (40miles) no drama
 
OK

so once again I'm on my way to work and I'm within a few miles from work and EAS fault!!

This has happened following heavy rain, so even though all is dry around the passenger foot well I am going to presume it's water coming in from pollen filter

Why would a pollen filter leak affect the EAS?
More likely water getting into a height sensor, I posted photo's of a failed O ring in a height sensor that caused mine to fault in the wet when i first got it.

Because after searching and reading on here I was lead to believe water getting in through pollen filter would cause problems as the eleccy bits under the seat???

EAS is under the passenger seat, never heard of a water problem affecting it. It's the BECM that gets water problems under the drivers seat.

ok - so I can rule that out as O rings done before I got car and always dry inside :)

so height sensor O rings next then (think I'll fix diesel leak and clean that up before I go under it and get covered in it :-(

You can't replace the "O" rings on a height sensor, it's a replacement of the sensor I'm afraid so you need to ID which sensor is causing the problem, read the faults. Could just be a sensor connector filling with water.

There has been one incidence i recall of water getting into the harness under the passenger side that corroded joins in EAS circuit. But agree it is much more likely to be a sensor or sensor connection.

Check and clean all plugs and sockets to driverpack and valve block. Remove and refit several times to ensure good contact. See what happens.

RL signal incorrect is a height sensor, the valve stuck closed cannot lower front left may also be a height sensor, it just means that movement of the corner has not been detected when the ECU has commanded it to move.
As Wammers said connectors in the EAS box are worth doing, as are the connectors to FL & RL height sensors.
It could also unfortunately be the driver pack.

Thanks this weekend I'll be going over all connections and making sure they are all squeaky clean and dry

While driving home last night I had the suspension locked in motorway height as over 90% of my trip is motorway and didn't want it going up and down every time I slow for traffic. While turning off one motorway to another the car started to rise up to wading height (I'd not pressed anything) so I quickly selected motorway height and down I went? and no other faults??

This morning I get in turn key "Slow Max 35 MPH" but then once the engine is started it went? Suspension came up and off I drove? 40 miles later I'm at work no issues??

Rising up can be the driver pack or a height sensor or as previously stated connectors in the EAS box. The slow 35 mph should only come up with a hard fault.
You sure that your battery voltage is good and that the alternator is working properly and not putting out a pulsating voltage? Also worth checking the fuse box for sign/smells of burning.
