In the trunk, after you remove the spare tire, on the passenger side just behind the back seat, is an air distribution manifold with two different colored (mine are red & blue) plastic air hoses. Fastened with a compression fitting. Loosen those compression fittings until you hear air hissing out. Give it 10 minutes or so. Then tighten back up - snug, not too tight.
There ya GO!
Thanks Skid, much appreciated! I take it the compressor wont kick in again until I do what you outlined in a previous post regarding lowering back down onto the rear to articulate the sensors etc...

So in a nutshell... loosen the compression fittings until air is released from bags (re-tighten fittings), raise the rear, wheels off, R & R the parts (6 and 11 in my case), wheels back on, lower on jack in centre of rear to articulate the sensors, air bags fill up, remove jack, lower car onto wheels.

Will I need my ride height re-calibrated?
