You are joking when you say the liner can be removed in minutes?
Grind the heads off rusty screws, find mud flap metal stiffeners have rusted away so need replacing etc etc. Then you find access is not much better.
If the EAS is in good order, no mods are needed, I can leave min for 2/3 weeks and it is still not on the bump stops.

Correct. Modifying in such a manner is just covering a fault cause by bad maintenance. Doing that is like lifting a wheel if you leave the car for any length of time to reduce the air loss from a slow puncture. A drop of 15 mm in 24 hrs is acceptable i suggest if you are leaving the car for any length of time dropping it to access height. Mine stays up with little drop for weeks on end. No flat battery no problems.

You two obviously don't mind the "sinking feeling":lol:

the mod doesn't cover anything up, totally opposite, any leak will be easy to detect and best of all the car stays in the same hight as when you switched off ignition.And if you change your mind it's easy to override or remove.

Bonus on a system there doesn't leak (like mine) the compressor has an easy life without much running.

LR obviously knew there was a problem with air suspension when they build in the feature wakening up the electronics frequently to avoid too much embarrassment., and they want to sell a lot of spare parts as the design means the system is active weather you're using the car or not.


My liners comes off easy and quickly, not a rust bucket though (Mine's XXL BTW)

Sorry OP i'm not in west yorks and will keeps quit now. Or try
(My opinion - EO)

All you need to do is remove the delay relay that would stop self level and point you in the direction of the leak. It's not rocket science.

Suppose a simple switch to isolate the relay would be all that it would take, or is that the mod.

Possibly, but not needed if the system is properly maintained and up to scratch.

Correct, and no need for "emergency inflation systems", I have never needed one in over 9 yrs of ownership.

Had mine seven years and never needed them. It's sometimes amazing the bright ideas some can come up with to cover ineptitude.

And to make a swift buck, why didn't we think of it.

If the liners come of easily on yours, it's the exception. No rust on mine apart from screws & bolts.
Mine is either at height after standing a week or it's there by the time I've fastened my seat belt, I don't see that as a problem in the design.

I made up the Schrader valves when I first got mine after reading of all the problems on LZ. I've use one valve once in 6 years to isolate a very slow leak in one corner. Never had to use them otherwise, still in the boot though somewhere

well when the snow clears i will get under the car again...
Pass side, down again this morning... so Must be either the 'new' join half way down ( which i plan to get new 6mm coupler for and re-make.. or the connection at the Bag, it spent the night with the relay removed.. so feel thats as much leak chasing as there is to do,,,

You may need to cut the end of the pipe to enable "fresh pipe" to enter the bag coupling. Don't cut it back too much, there is a shoulder moulded in the pipe (if its original) which will prevent full entry. After cutting you can chamfer the end of the pipe with a pencil sharpener.

i doubt it's original due to the coupling joint i found mid way along the car ( on both rear air lines )..
but when weather allows i will take a look

Get under man, the snow should keep you warm.. I did an oil and filer change on a XJR on Tuesday, should have waited, its almost tropical today.

This is the joint im guessing isnt a standard item ?
Located just to the rear of the airtank.
Im sprayed and can't detect a leak.
I thought they were straight couplers originally,but apparently is a factory end with a push fitting, like the pipe was replaced with a fixed length of tube and they extended on.

Anyone know if i can replace the O ring in this type of connection? Just in case.

Still guessing airbag connection leak. But need to pop over to a mate next week. Borrow some axel stands, drop the wheel off etc. no level ground at home.

A leak at the tank would not affect one corner.

Yeah sorry. I didnt mean a leak from the tank i ment these 2 connectors which I guess are non standard.

Those connectors are not EAS related fuel maybe ?

They look like 6mm air lines to me ??????
