Does look nicer with the tyres in line with the body work.

Cheers yes i think so and being a tarmac queen no issues with catching the body work, i shall do a few miles then pop the wheels off and inspect the spacers to make sure they are up to the job.

EAS has packed up, its now sat on the bump stops.

Got a new compressor relay coming along with the delay relay, also bought a spare EAS ecu from a softdash being broken locally

Changed the compressor relay no change, changed the delay relay no change, also changed the warning change over relay and nothing.
Going to check the 60A link fuse that i've just discovered in the engine bay fuse box

Time to get it plugged in and see what faults are stored

Mine used to just go into fault mode and shut down with no actual issue with the equipment. I got to know who had the diagnostic kit near me in London and the Cotswolds as well as in between as when it happened it just needed resetting.

Eventually, the bug was linked to a reading disparity between the two sources of rpm/speed information. On my LSE this was due to the Overfinch conversion and, if I recall, the alternator running at a different rpm to factory so generating a slightly different signal that above 90/100mph would breach the system limits/tolerances and trigger a shut down.

The chap who finally located and fixed the issue said that the alternator feed was often the trigger for such issues.

I remember when the alternator died on my '94 Classic - first sign was the rev counter dropped to 0; second sign was the air suspension crashed down onto the bump stops!

I can't really recall the details but I believe the suspension takes a feed from the rev counter and another from the alternator. If they are out of step by too much it triggers the suspension to have a hissy fit. You then plug in the diagnostics and reset it and it works fine until the next time that signal mismatch arises. On mine it was a matter of changing the pully on the alternator I think. Because it was a Chevy engine it had a different set up and the difference was enough to widen the two signals the faster you went and at around 100 it became too much.

Cheers for the replies guys.

The 60A link fuse was fine, plugged into the system using the Lynx diagnostics
and it flagged up some very different numbers on the height sensors.

3 of them weren't that far apart and in the 70's where as the osf was 280.

I bought a spare set ages ago so changed the osf and its working as it should. Cleared the fault codes and none re appeared so happy days.

Going to overhaul the valve block, dryer and compressor then look at replacing all the height sensors for new P38 version which i'm told with fit with a wiring mod

Anyone know of a wiring diagram for the SRS system.

Mines flagged up a fault with a resistor short

Since Phil at Twenty Ten engineering cleared the SRS fault the warning light
has gone off as it should.

Heated screen worked nicely the other day and from frozen solid it was clear after 3 mins

Will be fitting new EAS height sensors along with a new dryer and bump stops as soon as i can get it on a ramp
