Hi all New to this site. Im in Cape Town South Africa.
The compressor in my 2014 L494 RR Sport keeps running until it overheats, then it locks the suspension in normal ride height. I have tested all the connection and tank for air leaks and can't find any. If I leave it over night it doesn't drop. When I go to extended height it takes a long time and says Compressor air delivery slow. Any suggestion as to what would cause this?
 
Welcome to Landyzone burping hours.
Have you had the compressor checked out as it could be worn unit.
 
Worn out compressor.

Aslong as you are sure you have no leaks. It should still go to extended pretty quick if the tank is full.

Oh and welcome :).

Can I repair the compressor? I have looked on line form here but can't find a kit for my compressor. I am prepared to import if needs be

Ok you have the AMK have a look at X8R site. they do good rebuild kits, I have used them when I did mine for the same reason. (it was an Hitach compressor)

But then we dont know where you are do we 🤔.

Just a thought you have checked the inlet filter is clear?

From what I gather the whole unit needs replacing. Something to do with being a factory unit supplied to Land rover plc. The was a programme on telly here called Wheeler Dealers a similar problem with Range Rover compressor failure. Ed the mechanic was looking for a parts kit for a simple task and turns out not available for a sealed unit from factory. So he got a second hand one my guess from a scrap shop.

Must have got an earwig from the TV show saying it worth a few shekels to sell parts too.
 
Thanks for everyone's help from the data on the 4X4 seals site it looks like the Pumps and filters are the same for Mercedes C and ML class im going to check it out as I can see a lot of compressors for the Mercedes.
