Need more details. What are the conditions when this comes up? Has the Rover been operating for a while to be certain reservoir pressure is up and thus compressor off? Generally that alert comes up when the reservoir is empty and the vehicle has to raise solely on the compressor - and typically when going from a position like access to off-road.

It has been happening for a while now changed compressor 2 weeks ago made no difference . Amber light comes on within about 1mile+ I have bought a new airtank to fit but mine looks like it is not that old . my mechanics is going to do a smoke test as ive tried soapy water cant see any leaks.

My 3 is doing the same... amber light comes on after about 5-10 minutes of driving.. doesn't seem to affect anything though no matter how long I drive. Code I get is a communication error but not able to track it down.

My tank looked brand new at first glance, but the leaks were pinhole sized where the tank is closest to the frame rail. Something to look at.
