Can you help please. My e70 has been suspended on ramp for about 3 weeks with the wheels off. Today I took it off the ramp and the rear suspension is at its lowest on both sides. Not only that but the compressor is not coming on. I have checked the dashboard 40amp fuse and the 10amp in the boot but all appears well. Does anyone have any suggestions as to whats gone wrongring. It worked perfectly well prior to going on the ramp.
Thanks

Morning Duncan

Have you removed the fuses and checked them or visually inspected them? Is there power at the compressor? What information is the car giving you through the On Board Diagnostics?

Check the level sensors are OK not sticking the knee joint should be pointing towards the wheel I have seen where the suspension has been fully or overextended, they fold the wrong way, so nothing works

If Fuses Relay sensors and controller are OK then the compressor may have failed. A Diagnostic session will tell you for sure

      A paddling pool in the rear of my 08 reg 635d Convertible !!

      Yes 650i convertible, my error by the way I though I read 325Ci. mine and yours should be near enough identical. Here are the images I mentioned. pic 1 - back corner of the storage area - 1 each side pic 2 - literally adjacent to the rear strut pillar Pic 3 - rear corner nearest to the rear of the vehicle right side Pic 4 - as above left side Pic 5 - same as pic 1 but other side - this location is tucked right back immediately under the folding brackets. I am not aware of any other drains under that protective cover as that does not lift up. There have been times I have had several inches of water in there sloshing about but none has actually entered the passenger compartment. As I said I do look to blow through these drains on a regular basis. Hope this helps. I have had water getting into the boot area carpet, this rides under that black plastic cover you can see in pics 3/4. and drips into the boot. BTW Im in Formby and more than happy to meet and talk it through if that helps. The whole system of the softtop seal onto the car body is not watertight hence the need for drains but these have to be kept clear otherwise water does build up and can get into the boot area as noted above.

      Brake Pipe Failure 650i

      will do...... as you can see from the photo it is the area under the fuse box to the right side of engine compartment looking from the front. Hope the experience has value to someone out there.. The previous experience I mentioned of an inaccessible brake line fail was on an X5 not a 5 series.
