There's obviously only so much you can ask of the compressor then......

Mine did exactly that yesterday after carrying 1/2 a ton of rubble to the tip. I've had to replace the fuse as well. When I loaded up the car I did thought at the time ' I hope this doesn't knacker up the suspension' as the arches were at rock bottom.

My self leveling suspension is inactive and come to think of it I transported slabs/bags of stones recently, which fuse number is it and which fuse box so I can check and rule the fuse out or perhaps its a simple as that, that would be a result.

It's in the boot on the right hand side looking from rear. The fuse is the end green 30A.

It depends on the age of the car. On mine, the rear fusebox lists this fuse in this position, and I found a fuse there - except that only the live side connector was present, and the system is working fine, so there must have been a wiring change at some point.
