Done and still not rising... Obviously as soon as you remove the pump the bladders let all the air out though

You have to be pretty quick fingered

Have you tried adjusting the sensor arm

Tech 2 would not communicate with my 03 SL ecu.

I know my old tech2 spoke to your ecu before, so whats changed?

No, it really didn't. The black one?

Disconnecting and raising the sensor arm to maximum, should see the sl top out, rise fully. What's happening is;
Raise arm.
Pump runs, continually.
The bladders inflate. Pump still running.
But the car stops rising beyond a cirtain point broadly similar to the normal ride height or doesn't rise at all above the natural level of the springs. Pump still running, and so on.
The car never rises.

Some air is being pumped, bit not enough.

Conclude, asthmatic/tired pump. Replace with a known good one.

Any thoughts?

Pump still running btw.

LD tells me there is no hissing, or any sign of a leak.

Assuming standard springs, I would agree with...

True... No sign of a leak anywhere.

Yes... On standard, not S/L springs

If the pump can be dismantled easily enough, then it could be refurbished might be as daft as a tired diaphragm

I might try to dissect the old one, although that one is properly knackered... Casing on motor fractured

I wonder if I can make one good from the two

[05omegav6]

If the replacement is on its way out then you've nowt to lose

[Lazydocker]

If the replacement is on its way out then you've nowt to lose

Think I'll get a replacement one as I must have a useable car Then have a look for repairing the other car

Yeah. You were pissing around with Irmscher springs and SL shocks IIRC, and we were trying to reset the SL height.

Ah, if pump running, but no more uppy uppy, either:
Faulty shocks
No (more) air from pump
Air not getting to shocks
