Default Problems with 2004 XJ8 VDPAir suspension

Car was basically sitting on top of tires. My mechanic determined the the front shock on the drivers side was leaking.
Replaced it with an Arnott shock.
"Vehicle low" light still shows up within seconds of starting,
Front stays low, can hear air compressor running.
What do we do now?
Do I need to check for airleaks? If so where, and how?

Is there a reset? Do "codes", need to be cleared?
My mechanic is not a Jaguar nechanic. Any help incuding
Locations, and diagrams would be appreciated. Workin with limited funds.

You don't need much in the way of funds-just enough petrol (gas) to drive around the block for up to 20mins.

Vehicle is in jacking mode and needs to be driven, hopefully red light will extinguish and car will come up.

Good luck.
