With the fact that the 2 fronts certainly look folded over, I am guessing the only way to properly inspect these is by physically removing them and putting a little air in manually then washing them over with soapy water?
The rear is so low I can not see under at the moment.
I will start at the...

I need to do both. It is not inflating at all, well at least not lifting. That could be the hard fault causing the problem.
I think I need to establish good comms and also check the bags. I may be able to reset the hard fault, then test for leaks.
If I need to inflate to jack it up and check...

10 years ago it failed an MOT due to an EAS fault that appeared at the time of the MOT, caused by leaking bags. All 4 bags were then replaced with new Dunlops. They have been perfect until now. I (as we al do) spend a lot of time under the car staring up, so I am sure I would have noticed...

It was on the bump stops within an hour or so of them completing the work and it was lowered.
-
I cannot say whether the rear hatch was left open or not.
-
I was charged 4 hours labour to fit the steps, so it was dangling at least 3, could be more.
-
The bags are Dunlops fitted 10 years ago and have seen about 3-4K miles a year.

I did not T them in, just attached them directly to the lines that came out from the block. i could T them in for future usage.

I know what the manual says, and after 15 years or more of ownership I know what the lights mean when in general usage.
However, I am positive I read only a week or so ago that you can also use this combination to determine where a fault is at a high level.
These 2 lights are on solid. No...

You can think what you want. I just said it is suspicious that it failed within about an hour of coming off of their ramp. It may have failed immediately it was lowered, it is just I did not pick it up for an hour or 2. I have not mentioned their name, as they are generally good guys. They...

Thanks guys. I am going to be busy again Saturday then. I think the EAS cables only go via the passenger side, so I will start there first.
The OBDII socket is a little corroded too. Exactly the same issue. I have a new one, plain socket and one with fly leads. I may well replace that too...
-
OK maybe filing is too strong a term. I used a very small pointy needle file to drag over the pins and scrape the corrosion off. then sprayed clean with contact cleaner.
This resulted in me getting a good idle on the link to EAS Unlock.
Engine running.
These seem to be the faults logged:

Update, but not much of one.
Emergency inflate valves removed. What air was in there was still in there as it shot out when pulling the valves.
I jumpered the EAS relay and the compressor comes on. Nothing odd there as it is brand new.
I cleaned the contacts in the multiplugs behind each kick...

I will not know for another 2 weeks, but it only lifted maybe half an inch. I will hard wire and bypass the 2 footwell connectors first as they are so corroded. Then lift with a jack and look at the one that was hissing, then work my way around all 4.
The front driver side made a loud pop as...

Please could you point me to this?
Is it luck the previous springs lasted 16 years or more?
