Hi guys

Please see images, I have converted my Range Rover to manual air, what fitting do I connect onto this so I can pump it up with air?

What do you mean by "manual air" ? If it's simply schrader valves for each airline, then just get a male fitting for that quick-release fitting, and adapt that to the schrader valves.

Bit more info (pic) would help alot.
but you could try these guys


If you want to pump up the tank think you need 6mm, cant remember the sizes now as it was a while ago (now all a bad dream ;) ) We ran an emergency inflation kit for a short while (e bay have them) till I could get the bits together to fix it.

If you have above (your pic)then you just need a tyre inflation bit that will have the fitting to go into what you show.

Why are you not fixing it properly? You can still run an emergency kit in it should you get caught out.

But TBH when they work well they last a while without problems.

Assuming it's aP38, easiest way to pump the tank is via 8mm lines on dryer. This way the air flows through the drier & NRV-1 to the tank. For the air-bag lines it's 6mm fittings.

Thanks for putting up the right sizes I couldnt remember :).

But of course pumping up the tank requires a working electrical side to put it to the bags;)

plus 1 with regards to repairing it , must Confess I got a set of 6 mm schrader valves and gauge , but that was mainly used for air line testing when I had a leak in several places on the suspension

also assume a bypass ECU would be required but again as mentioned best to fix the original system

Funny how info can be the answer to getting the right answer 🤣 :vb-groan2::vb-groan2:.

Lol

Or god forbid looking for an owners manual lol

As a side note I Also wonder what the insurance company said when advised the oem suspension along with. its safety features have been over ridden, hopefully xenons arnt fitted that reqs self levelling

I've stopped asking peeps why they are doing mod's and just answer the question if I can.

indeed , did see a little while ago someone adding RRS sport rims to a FFRR , then after being told they weren’t weight rated they had to get FFRR rims and sell the RRS alloys, alas one of my pet hates are seeing low profile tyres on FFRR/ RRS or discoveries

also wonder what some insurance companies say with regards to mods , ie larger wheels, air suspension over ridden or converted to coils etc,

That's interesting about the wheels, I have 20" RRS wheels on my L322 but a bit of googling says the FFRR is only around 100kg heavier so I would have said that's fine.

indeed, if I remember rightly the discovery has the highest rim weight rating

D3 - 940 Kg
FFRR - 925 Kg
RRS - 900Kg

plus of course there’s the tyre load rating , on my D3 the min is 111, for a D4 I think it’s 109

also heard some mention with regards to the VW T6 rims being interchangeable between some Land Rover models

must confess have heard some insurance companies not being happy with RRS rims being fitted to FFRR because of the load rating index , assume urs are ok with it

for a 255/50/ 20 I think the load rating is 109 = 1030 kg

They may object if I tell them :)

Plus 1 what @Datatek has mentioned

honestly mate for peace of mind I would tell them, god forbid u have an accident and then they inspect it , ur insurance could be null and void , then with that u could get penalty points for no insurance along with having to pay out for any damages on the other vehicle

so Indeed they will either tell u to remove them or ask for any extra premium , fingers crossed all will be fine
 
I told them it had 22" wheels when I fist insured it and they weren't bothered but I haven't told them I've put sensible wheels on it. I'll give them a ring and see what they say, as you say worth checking.
