Yellow or red?
Yellow is ok; red not so. Coincidental that it occurs the day after you have an unsatisfactory 4 wheel alignment, no?

Does the air suspension compressor sound noisy it's situated on the passenger side rear - just in front of the rear wheel. They are known to fail - I had the same symptoms as yourself for about 3 months until it finally went altogether ? 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

Not many - I only do about 6k a year in the RRS. It was an intermittent fault then 1 day it just stayed on yellow - I reset the fault but it remained yellow. We disconnected the compressor then reconnected to see if it changed anything but the car just bottomed out - the only solution was to replace the compressor. I could tell that the one that was removed had already been refurbed. It's been fine since. Others might be able to put you in the right direction but if its noisy its probably on its way out.

it definatley sounds like a new compressor is needed.
In all liklihood, it will be cheaper to get The Large One AKA Nick Lee @ Yeovil Landrover to send you a compressor and relay out and then you can get a local Indi out there to change it over. Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

Found a very helpfull and freindly LR dealer in Valance who fitted a new compressor+relay Cost 730 euro car now running fine.

One thing i have noticed when i turn the car off after a few seconds i get a short blast of air at the rear,,, it doesnt sound like leaking air , more of a controled blast,,

Is this normal???? i am 200km from the dealer now

yes, it's the 'fart' releases a little pressure then it gets ready to self level. Thumbs Up perfectly normal.
If the fart turns to a hiss, then yoiui have problems.... Bodsys Brake Bible
