Started car the other morning and warning came up saying too low. Got out and heard the air compressor pump making a clicking noise and rear of car had dropped. I replaced the compressor and relay and all seemed fine driving to work and back. Next morning the rear had dropped again more on n/s. I have checked for leaks and can't find any.
The thing I did find strange was when I jacked up the rear n/s there was a big gush of air from the strut which I don't ever remember it doing before. I started the car and the car rose up but the rear n/s went up to a point then dropped about 10mm then went up about 10mm then dropped about 10mm and carried on doing this. I turned car off and jacked up the o/s and no air noise from o/s but I heard from the n/s again.
Whilst waiting for compressor front was on axle stands and o/s on a block but n/s was on ground FYI.
Has anyone had this symptom / problem before and if so what was the problem please?
I did a video of what is happening just trying to get it small enough to upload.
Many thanks in advance for any advice
