Do we know the frequency in which the system checks the 'load'?  Is it done with every turn of the key, or every 10 seconds/5 minutes etc etc?
Can someone answer this, I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

Aye, the reason I ask is because the pump on mine is almost silent..... definitely cant hear it when engine is running but audible when engine is off.  I haven't actually loaded the boot with the ignition on so dont know how frequently the system checks.

I may have to experiment tomorrow.

Should be able to check it by moving the arm as described in the guide I suppose? I use this method a lot for servicing generally to raise the back for fitting donut bushes and fuel filters etc

I have never had a delay in response to moving the arm more than a couple of seconds. But thats when parked obviously.

When loaded it will run the pump on occasion after setting off, presumably because my drive is uneven and the car sits differently on a flatter bit of road.

So my assumption had always been it's a live real time set up with a slight delay or it will react to bumps continually. But without tech2 to confirm with some sort of live data it's not possible to confirm what it actually does while driving.

As I understand it, from when I had problems with mine - eventully put a 2nd hand pump and new shockers on ....  it only seems to work when the ignition is first switched on.

Mine was "collapsing" when I if I drove over a rough surface when I had the 'van on. Remedy was to switch engine off then back on ... pump would run and back end would rise back up !!

Now it could be that the controller inside the pump on mine was FUBAR ....  don't know .... but that was my experience .
