Thanks Bob. However I still don't know if the valves in the valve blocks have to hold pressure. Aren't the valves T'd into the valve block to airspring lines?

A side question - on a standard system that I modified to allow a remote air compressor to pressurise the tank to 150psi - if the main compressor had failed and I filled the air tank to 150psi with the external compressor would I be able to raise the car to at least onroad height or will the systems detect to broken air compressor in the system and just shut the lot down?

Should work but you would be better pulling the fuse as well to stop it venting.

Hi Graeme,

The kit plumbs in after the valve block, so when used and shut off, there is no requirement for the valve block to retain pressure. Hence if there is a faulty valve block you're still able to inflate the airbag.

Cheers,

Gordon
