    Just tried the hard reset again and I actually joined the two terminals this time. I've gone up and down 10 times in the past 30 mins with no error.

    Maybe I did just upset it by hitting the bump stops too many times this week?? Can't go access height plus lowest setting on llams with mine...

    I just ordered a kit for my compressor as I found a site that did it for $46 delivered from the UK, and had the LR part numbers in the compatible list. For that price there is no reason not to order it now.

    No luck on my theory, fault came back even without llams. Dropped it off today probably just a height sensor?

    I have had a few times like this, no luck without reading codes. I ordered my IID Tool last week and can't wait for it to get here so that I can get into figuring out this issue.

    Ah, wish i could diagnose it myself too. I'd attempt a sensor change myself if that's all it was. Will need an iid tool asap.

    Hopefully the warranty helps us out on this one. It proved extremely useful so far.

    Yes, I have spare height sensors, but really don't feel like randomly swapping sensors and seeing if it drops to the bump stops or not. It is a pain to get it back up at the moment.

    My IID Tool arrived today - and after I (emailed myself a copy of and) cleared the excessive number of faults that the vehicle had stored, I got a
    C1A20-64 (AF) Pressure increases too slow when filling reservoir - Algorithm based failure - signal plausibility failure

    Good thing I ordered a rebuild kit. I will have to wait for another time to chase down the random "extended mode" operation.

    It seems that the restrictions from a dirty filter and old desiccant only cause the AMK issues when it is already at the end of it's life, as I managed about 4 or 5 days extra life after I fixed each one.

    So today was the day the new seal kit went in my compressor.
    Sorry, forgot to take photos this time.
    They are correct when they state it is difficult, and the instructions could do a better job of showing what to do and what not to do.

    My compressor is definitely on the way out as the wall of the 1st stage has been chewed away from obvious dust ingress - I think I am going to reinvent the compressor inlet filter so that it actually filters the dirt out, rather than just slowing it down a little. Couldn't see the 2nd stage wall very easily, but I did notice scoring.

    After replacing the seals on the piston, put it all back in and it works (for now) but I know I am on borrowed time. I have messaged AMK in regards to ordering a new compressor head and piston, but I am not holding my breath.
    I have found a place in the UK that has brand new AMK compressor for the D3/D4 for AU$518, just waiting to hear back about shipping.
    For now though, the rebuild holding.

    So I figured out the "Extended Mode" is a glitch with the software - if it can build enough pressure in the reservoir to not trip the "normal height only" fault, but not raise the vehicle fast enough it thinks that the roof is hitting on something and trips "extended mode" with the LOWER light flashing on the height selector, and tells me to reselect normal height when clear of obstacle
