Little more info - When I refitted it I swapped the relays around. When I tried it, the compressor ran for approx 18 seconds before turning off, dash yellow etc. This happened a couple of times, I hadn't asked system to change heights. I swapped the relays back again and comp ran for about 46...

Didn't go well - I've got it off, changed all the guts, bench tested it on old battery - runs and offers pressure but no means of knowing how much - blocking outlet did make motor change tone and slow a bit but battery is quite flat really, put it back on less top bolt for now and bottom...

Kit arrived today, fitting tomorrow - Fingers crossed this sorts it..

Mmm - considered an upgrade feature on D2's - Might be worth more??. On that note of values and less is more - I had a D2 without sunroofs for instance - everyone was looking for it as they were/are a nightmare for problems.

Haha - Don't Coil it unless you want to spoil it - I read that somewhere in my research or something like that. I've no doubt once its up and running I'll grow to love it. Thanks for all the input, if someone had chirped up its the best thing they ever did then hey ho, but the tumbleweeds are...

Understood and agree with the maintenance - I could use mine now without doing anything to it, and I am going for the compressor repair option. Just by way of considering fixes however, it would be a shame to discount the options available to those viewing suspension problems as we are...

I suppose its what comes of reading too much on forums - Most probably don't have a problem but looking at the prevalence of failures on here I can see it writing off cars in the not too distant future - fixing something for several hundred pounds on a regular basis is not a lot on a 50k car...

Good idea - I've put this on to get the old ones out. I've read people say this job takes 30 minutes, frankly it will take me that long to position a few axle stands haha. The complexity of the car worrys me, especially the fragility of the suspension it seems. As they get older like they are...

Thanks Yes I have looked at the pipe kits and they fall into 2 camps - One type with angled pieces of plastic pipe but with the flanges on, or pushfit connectors but with bits of short metal tube - both types appear to be assuming one has managed to remove the pipe from the VOSS fitting. If I'd...

Ok thanks - before I chomp into it though, do I cut it leaving enough plastic pipe from the compressor to push onto the remaining pipe or am I expecting to remove the fittings from the pump when I've got it off the car?

Sounds ominous haha - Any tips on the more fragile bits...?

oh - and kit - considering X8R kit or one from Ebay with a company or Ebay name of Original_Landyair https://x8r.co.uk/products/land-rover/air-suspension-repair/land-rover-discovery-3-4-range-rover-sport-air-compressor-repair-kit-hitachi-end-cap or...

I'm going to try and repair it - I think its worth a try at least - In prep I've release oiled the nuts and pipe fittings and will give it a few doses before the kit arrives (prob end of week cos of xmas etc etc) Any tips on what to do regarding the 2 plastic pipes at the rear, some sort of...

Braved the chill this morning and pulled the cover to reveal a Hitachi unit (I think). It has a number on a yellow sticker of RQG500080 and I'm wondering if that is the original unit or some copy. I took a couple of pics, including one of the contents of the bottom cover . I had a look at the...

Can I ask what compressor you have and whose kit you bought please - Was there an appreciable difference in performance (not withstanding the other issues you might have identified now)

mmm - thats what I'm worried about. I'd like to squeeze in a bit of driving occasionally haha

Might get a chance to pull the cover tomorrow and have a peek - yet to discover what make compressor under there. From what I've read its unlikely to be original on an 06 car...

Mines 460 front 490 back but it is on downwards slope if that matters - However, all identical even though it has a camber to left (wonky drive eh)

Centre to wheel arch - got it, that makes sense as takes out tyre wear and pressures I guess. I'll post up my figs for that in a minute. If I select raised height it says the slowly message. I've been looking at the Gap IID site out of interest and it shows a Range Rover going up and down, mine...

Measured again this eve and heights identical (to those given before..)
