    Your local Pirtek(or similar) will have schrader valves,, buy two, also a metre of airline, also two push-in connectors,
    maybe $25??

    Jack the rear CHASIS up,, leaving the wheels on the ground,, cut both airlines(CHASIS!!) inside the comp box,, push on the two schrader valves, use your 12 volt air pump to inflate the bags,, or at least put enough in them to drive to a 240v compressor

    That should give you breathing room,,,

    I would test the airbags with soapy water around the top ring and the fold at the middle when the car is at normal height. The solenoid valve is pretty reliable and most SLS owners seek the source of the problem everywhere else before 99% realise it is the airbags.

    The US brand eluded to earlier, now have a new design (version 3) and the manufacturer has not reported any issues since its release 3 months ago. (No I'm not an agent, I talked to them as I had two earlier versions fail). If you buy from them confirm this is still the case first.

    see files attached if they can help.

    Is there a way of doing it without cutting the airlines?

    Will hopefully get a brake in the weather tomorrow and check the voltage

    you could try undoing the two fittings into the valve block itself,, I think these are push in ones,, but after 10 odd years of exposure I'm not sure if the release mechanism would work,,

    oh,, and mark which line goes with which end
