    @RRMaximus you have alot of perseverance. You keep on bleating that you want to lower your RPM but if not fuel economy then why? If its for engine longevity you do realise that a lower RPM but higher throttle request cause higher cylinder...

    If the airbags show signs of cracking, they will be leaking. The leaks open and close where the bags fold so leaks are not always easy to detect. The bags have an 8 year 80K miles design life. They are not very expensive, I replaced all four...

    Jack it under the axle & put axle stands under. Then height sensors are easy even on the bumps. As others said get some schrader valves as well. Then you can raise it up, while fixing the pump.

    Yes I am relatively new to working on cars ,so owning old landys is definitely going to teach me the hard way . Trying to not just throw money at it until it works.

    The thing is if you dont have operating pressure in the system it may not leak. You need to spray the bags around the folds. The "going to off road" some have reported that before, but I dont know if it was ever resolved. But it could be sensor...

    The air bags are Dunlop and are very dry cracked so I assume there original or atleast very old. The air suspension has been fine up until yesterday it even , stayed in standard ride height over night. I sprayed soapy water on the air tank...

    At that age you probably have 4 bags past their shelve life and it only takes 1 to leak to get the car to lower over night. So was it up when you left it and down the next morning? You have probably been feeding a leak for some time and the...

    Checked the line on the air tank, all seems fine dirty but fine. A worn piston seal might be the cause , as when I turn the car off you can hear the valve block releasing air , even tho the car hasn't raised.

    It may be running but is it making any air. If the piston seal is worn you will get very little pressure.

    I'd be checking around the air tank to make sure the air supply to it hasn't been popped off? A good clean up needed then and a thorough examination of air lines and airbags. πŸ‘Œ
