Particularly if the car has not been used for a couple of days, about two minutes after starting up I'm getting the airmatic grey 'Visit workshop' warning, and the fault code message is 'Reservoir taking too long to fill'. Terry Gates did tell me that when he did some work on the Airmatic earlier, the pump passed the test, but not by much, so unless there's a separate pressure reservoir that has sprung a leak, I suspect the pump is failing.
I'm inclined to think that the pump is very unlikely to give up the ghost suddenly, but rather, just slowly get worse, so I could leave it until the car needs to go in for a service in March next year with about 3000 more miles on it. Does anybody advise against this?
