    They should not be connected at the rear. Only the front equalize iirc and even then that happens through the valves on the EAS block.

    Does the rear lower exactly 40mm on each side? I've had one side leak and what happend was that the weight of the car hanging to one side (lower) also meant the other side sagged.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the reply prelude. Ive gotten to know this p38 quite well and was sure it was not connected.ill blow one up separately and watch and wait.
    My guess is the other one got damaged

    I also use the MARS system sometimes and like prelude said I notice when one bag is down the others take the weight so when you pump one airbag up the others rise too. This took me quite a bit of getting used to when I first used the MARS. I got a rigid plastic tube with tape marking the normal and exta high EAS heights so I could lean this against the wheel arch and guage a rough height from where I was operating the compressor at the front of the car. Hope this makes sense.

    Thanks for the feedback guys the EAS is working better than ever for some reason now but I do have another issue with the brake clicking when I first start using the break.
    Ive had this issue a few years ago that the machanic sorted out
    He knew exactly what it was
    But sadly he has passed away and i do all repairs myself

    The "Clicking" sounds to me like the ABS is operating. Perhaps a wheel speed sensor has failed? Is your ABS light on all the time or an ABS fault present?
