Another compressor ? ....sorry
okay
.... compressor is running too often short bursts and longish bursts (minutes). i've done the search here and on Range Rovers .net .the history is new GEN III airsprings (+Bilsteins)/new Valve block Driver/new Thomas compressor/rebuilt Valve block/EAS bypass. have checked for leaks, have good tank pressure and vehicle is maintaining height overnight, no dancing nothing out of the ordinary. have a Faultmate MSV2, and set up heights all okay.
having done the research on here and RR.net, the plan when i bought the vehicle was to do all the above after purchase
Question, is there a sensor or something that is sending a false signal to the compressor to run ? anything else i should check ? look for leaks again ?!

what did you get done in the valve bock rebuild? was a new diaphram fitted? I would check this if it hasnt been done already.

You seem to have done all the right things...
Here's a couple of additional points ...
:
1. You might, just might, have a dodgy sensor: the ECU may be continually trying to get the "expected" response / reading...so keeps the compressor running in order to achieve it... have you had any "over pressure" faults or similar message
Put the truck to max height, open the top tail gate to stop EAS activity and put jack stands under the chassis. You then can safely crawl underneath and swap the front and rear sensors from side to side so that they "articulate" through a different sector of the variable resistor, thereby bypassing the corrupt part, if that's the issue. You may not even have to recalibrate the system...
2. Located under the coolant expansion tank is a large circular connector: It's the major link from the fuse box. It is well worth unscrewing the outer slip ring and prising it apart, carefully cleaning the prongs and receivers ... esp. for leakage paths caused by corrosion etc. Especially also check the ground points.
3. There's also an EAS connector behind the ? passenger footwell which can become corroded from leaking around the pollen filters. worth checking for continuity.
If I can think of any more I'll let you know!
good luck

G`day ,
You could try the bung on the tank with soapy stuff , often forgotten about .

thanks fellas: 
Andy, not sure about the diaphragm, i didn't do the job but it was one of Shupacks kits (Rover Renovations)...will check
Hoges, it's up on the hoist tomorrow so will try that with the sensors and check that large circular connector. the EAS connector in the footwell is okay
PLR, good idea to check tank fittings will do that while it's up.
have ordered a new EAS compressor pressure sensor as well....in for a penny as they say. then we'll have done the whole bloody system 
Hoges btw am hoping the boys will do that brake kit midweek, will get some pics hopefully of condition. Tim and i really appreciated your assistance.
