    I reckon you're on to something there Hoges. I measured the heights on mine tonight and noticed a 30mm variation at the rear. Also noticed that the air line for the rear locker had been zip tied to the pas side potentiometer (sp?) arm - I'm not comfortable with that.

    Another job for the weekend - get out the EAS diag cable and laptop.

    Maybe I should clean all the dried mud off the height sensors and arms too?

    Cheers, Paul.

    It should have a soft fault if one of the sensors isn't working and your EAS will let you know about that. I have been listening to that friendly chip for a little while until replacing the sensor courtesy of Andy and now it is back to working as it should.
    Cheers,

    While stopped in the shopping centre car park today I timed the pump in my P38 as in a cycle of running for about 15 seconds with a gap of about 25 seconds before starting to run again. Is this he normal cycle ?

    I'm not sure that a soft fault in the sensors will bring up an error message. GrahamP38A had that problem and we only found it be pulling his sensors off and checking them.

    Hi 3toes - sounds like you might have a leak somewhere. Does it make any difference to the frequency of the pump running whether you've got your foot on the brake?

    Don't know if this has anything to do with it or not. Just that I've noticed my pump seems to run more often when I've got my foot on the brake.

    Cheers, Paul.
