Just an update, the o rings were the problem I replaced them all ,left it in off-road height overnight with F44 fuse removed, hasn't dropped a millimeter.
I must thank everyone for there help.
I have a spare pressure switch that I have decided to fit out of precaution. I have depinned connectors before but does it matter which wire goes where?
Ah , I may have realised what I have done, when I did the o rings on one of the stem valves , it sprung out of its casing and I had to go looking for it.
i presume a missing spring would allow air back through?
no I did them one by one, so what ever I took off went back on to the one it came from.
As far as I'm aware the solenoids are interchangeable, is the best bet to buy however many there is an just replace them all?
We fitted a set of Schrader valves on to the rear air bag lines that go into the valve block aired them up to 60psi and over the course of 1 hour , it hasn't dropped , which it would of before .
Would the non return valves in the valve block...
I had a quick look at the lines around the exhaust and nothing seems to be melted, might have to get the car in ramps as I've got next to no wiggle room.
I also pulled fuse 44 and it dropped equally at the rear by 2 inches in less than an hour...
So the air line travel passenger side down towards the rear and across past the boot floor to the other air bag?
If so the heat shield that sits Infront of the boot floor has rusted loose and is hanging on by a thread.
And that's extremely...
My exhaust is ****ed , previous owner had one of those cheap eBay back box deletes , it doesn't seal at all and doesn't join up to my center box like a half inch gap in the join.
That narrows it down as the compressor is brand new I'm talking 1 month old maybe 2.
By exhaust leaks are we talking valve block exhaust or the physical exhaust off the engine
I personally rebuilt the valve block and there is no leaks from...
I've done a soapy water test all air lines into the valve block ,no bubbles again none on the actual air bags , and no leaks on the air tank fitting also no leaks coming through the dryer
All tested with the engine running and I can hear the...
Hi there
Little update, the car aired up fine however the rear kept dropping, I've fitted new air bags all round and it's still happening.
Do you know of any procedure to diagnose what's causing this?
Cheers
I will say I am impressed with the overall condition for such an old car , its the only major rust I've found.
Excluding the rear wheel arch where it meets the liner has started bubbling. Apart from that its solid.
I have bits coming off in my hand So, for the sake of doing things properly and id like to try and learn welding.
Il attempt to get a hold of some 1.2 mm then.
Cheers
There seems to be a piece of metal behind that hole that's now loose and when I went under the car it looks like it sits between the exhaust t piece and the boot floor.
Possible heat shield? Idk.
If I was to go down the welder route , do you...
Hi everyone I was tidying my boot out and found the site below
Does anyone know What thickness of metal the floor is made from?
And is the floor made of steel?
These images are not the bottom of the floor but the sides so they aren't...
