Have you moved the car at all even a short distance might do it.

Yes I did, around 50ft (until the 1st speed bump) for a few times, and to my surprise, the compressor started every time the car started, for around 45s. So I figured out, I’ll start/stop the car for 1-2 min with a 2min break, to recharge the system. It worked fine, 10 times. After that, the compressor started randomly or not at all but the suspension is still sagging on all 4 wheels. Sometimes the ASF appears sometimes it doesn’t and the error related to handbreak that appeared after I’ve empty the air system, disappeared.

Check the relay. It's R1 I believe in the engine compartment.
It's the closest one to you on the right of the fuse box when facing the engine.

Have you done that?

Yes I did, one of the first things I did was to check the relays and fuses front/trunk. If I remember correctly I’ve switched R1 with one next to it.

Recently I had a fault on my Jag and called a mobile mechanic to diagnose.

The fault was a misfire and I changed a coil which solved the problem.

It cost $88 for an hour of his time.

I suggest that you find a local man to diagnose the fault.

I now have an icar soft which I keep in the glove box.
