I changed both airbags this morning - went with Anott units as I got them for £200 a pair. I've not yet refitted the compressor covers because I want to be sure there's no leak. I can't see any sagging, but after a short test drive, when I park up I can hear the compressor running briefly, then a few seconds of hiss (like a dump valve). Then silence.

Obviously I can hear things I wouldn't normally because I have the covers off, but is it normal for the compressor to run when I stop? I drive forwards from the road on to my drive, and then reverse for a few metres - maybe the suspension adjusts itself? And is there a dump valve to relieve compressor pressure after it's stopped?
