Have you taken the car out for a drive?

Most of the faults you mention could be due to the steering angle sensor values being lost by the battery going flat..

Start; drive forward, steering left-right-left and then stop - as you next drive off the angle sensor will reinitialise and the warning lights should go out. If the battery goes flat again the same process will occur.

If the battery is runnng on lower volts than it should be ,you quite öfter find lots of spurlos fault appearing. New battery and faults disappear

Don't panic, new battery and all will be well ! As above, short drive and turn each way and everything will reset and disappear.

Unlikely to be the compressor, just give it time to fill, don’t forget these do millions of miles operating lorry/bus air suspension, much tougher units than most realise. A new battery should cure all your woes.
My Cayenne lights up like a fairground at the first sign of a weak battery. In 140,000 miles over 14 years I've had to fit 3 or 4 new ones and every time all the faults have disappeared.

Thanks for that - SOunds reassuring

Battery was on charge all night and flat as a pancake despite this morning so it's new battery time.

Fingers crossed!

Thanks again

Well, just to update..

New battery bought and fitted - fired up right away and after a little drive all the warning lights cleared.

The ride height adjustment works fine with no 'compressor charging' message etc

Sooo it's back in business (and the good books)

I checked the old battery and it was the original one from 2004! So it's done well to last 14 years really

Thank you all for the help and input.
