New pump and FL9 fitted. Compressor wouldn't run. Pressed the off-road switch and it burst into life and pumped the rear up. Not sure why it needed the off-road switch to work? I'm hoping everything is sorted now and that the standard height wil be maintained automatically. Thanks to all for...

Many thanks brianp38dse, kermit_rr, Datatek and rrdude for those helpful replies. Not had time to try anything yet but hopefully will do so in the next few days. Cheers, and thanks again 👍

Hello, My EAS compressor is running well over half the time I'm driving which I'm sure is not correct. Whenever I slow down I can hear it. If I remove the relay under the passenger seat it's several days before the suspension starts to sink so I guess that there are no major air leaks. With...

Hi sierrafery, many thanks for your reply. Yesterday, at last, I had time to look again at the air suspension and your suggestions. I found a blown fusible link FL9 caused by a siezed air compressor. Now sorting both these issues. My request for more information on the fault codes, and the...

Can anyone suggest where I might find what these code mean, the words are rubbish to me! Error codes (from Hawkeye Total): 4153 - Compressor (Power amp with electrical connector interrupted) 4167 - Event ON-duration compressor I believe that these faults might be stopping the suspension...

Thanks for your reply sierrafery. Oops, apologies for not including error code description, makes sense to include them! code 4153 - Compressor (Power amp with electrical connector interrupted) code 4167 - Event ON-duration compressor And yes, the relay I'm looking at is R5 under the bonnet...

Hello, may I ask for help from greater brains than mine please. After 2 months of not driving, the sls compressor on my Discovery 2 is not running. Error codes 4153 - Compressor (Power amp with electrical connector interrupted) and 4167 - Event ON-duration compressor Tested with a...

I think I can just touch the torque converter disc through the small, circular inspection cover at the bottom of the bell housing. The previous person who had the engine out must have struggled with the bolts clamping the engine back plate tp the torque converter - there were two at the bottom...

Hi All, I'm replacing the TD5 engine on my Discovery 2. When fitting the new engine, any suggestions on lining up the bolt holes in the torque converter with the triangular p[late on ther rear of the engine? I can see it's going to be tricky feeding the bolts through the starter motor hole...

Got it. Perfect. So I can look for a 15P from either a Discovery or Defender, connect it to my ECU and all should work so long as I either enter the codes from the new injectors into my ECU or fit the injectors from my old engine, in the same order, into the new engine. I can cope with that...

Thanks for that contact Griff, have spoken to him and he has nothing but will ask around. Sierrafery, thanks for that suggestion. It looks promising but is from a Defender. I know the engines are the same but I believe the ECU maps are different, fuel pressure is different and the temperature...

No good news! I believe that my engine has been run without oil!. Injector cam followers are siezed solid and warn flat. Camshaft injector cams are very grooved and the bearings are a real mess. This means a new head, rocker assembly and camshaft and no reason that I know of for this problem...

Mmmmm , it seems that no accelerator when starting may be the least of my problems. I'm part way through removing the injectors and have found that the rollers on four of the five injector rockers are completely seized and now have flat sections warn in them. The corresponding cams on the cam...

Now that's a good idea - I'm sure I have narrow tube lying around somewhere. For now, I think I'll remove the injectors and replace the copper washers and 0-rings and see if that helps with the engine running. If not, I'll probably have the injectors tested then at least I'll know that the...

Good idea Mark, I'll look at all the live data and make a note of what's happening. Many thanks for all your help, and also many thanks to all who gave me their ideas - I know a lot more about eror codes and live data than a week ore tow ago. :) Cheers, Bertie
