I will probably get my local landy garage to chuck the new bags in as i need the car for a trip in the coming weeks. Thank you anyway.

Here`s the late Wammers guide to fault finding the eas https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/checking-eas-compressor-and-diaphragm-valve.172555/

There is a guide to replacing the airbags in the technical archive, if you can't find it I can send it to you.

Ordering them now

I have no concern for how I seem here. I asked a simple question and I was insulted and attacked from the start. Those people will never change their opinion of me, especially after I called them out on their ridiculous behavior. I will not...

I think you are imagining an extreme situation and not looking at this in reality. For example, someone else said that the oil pressure would be lower and that would damage the engine. But I can drive now at 40mph at the same approximate revs...

Id love to hear how this plan works out too

Well I, for one, would like to hear how this experiment goes.

For the benefit of all future readers it might be good if you shared the detail of that. It might make you come out of this thread less negatively

Lugging? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Waited until it was ‘cool enough’ to run the glow plugs. Started on the button. I’ll remember this for next time! I have got a synergy box set up solely to treat the hot start issue. I think I’m going to have to look at 1) removing the synergy...

Finally after more than a year, repaired the plastic tabs on my lower tailgate trim last night. 2mm aluminium strips glued with Sticks Like SH*T. All nicely bonded, and re-installed just now. The cover has been flapping for ages.

If it's not loss of sync, then it could be FIP timing. When the modulation was over 80% on my project car, it was almost impossible to start it when hot.

went over one of those awful yellow and black (or is it black and yellow!?) rubber speed bumps... no clunk/rattle 😣

Diesel or petrol? Get out lock it go have a fag/cup of tea. come back and all will be fine ;). J

I am sure, i actually did it my self, hehe. :D Leak test and all, everything was fine. I work at a collision repair shop. Clutch works, blend motors move, cleaned the condenser. (fans have not kicked in tho) I quess the pump is bad, since the...

Currently awaiting rescue in a car park sweating my tits off. Drove into town, about 20 miles and all dandy. Did what I needed to about an hour later and jump in the car.. and it’s just cranks, no attempt at firing at all. Great. Booster pack...

@RRMaximus you have alot of perseverance. You keep on bleating that you want to lower your RPM but if not fuel economy then why? If its for engine longevity you do realise that a lower RPM but higher throttle request cause higher cylinder...

If the airbags show signs of cracking, they will be leaking. The leaks open and close where the bags fold so leaks are not always easy to detect. The bags have an 8 year 80K miles design life. They are not very expensive, I replaced all four...

Jack it under the axle & put axle stands under. Then height sensors are easy even on the bumps. As others said get some schrader valves as well. Then you can raise it up, while fixing the pump.

Yes I am relatively new to working on cars ,so owning old landys is definitely going to teach me the hard way . Trying to not just throw money at it until it works.

I hate to like it but, we have all been there and feel your pain :oops:. And yes I have been through it on a P38 and an L322, glutton for punishment some say, we will learn from this,is another way. So what explains us doing it...

A replacement air compressor is on the way, as I took the old one apart and now it doesn't work at all😅😅. Due to the car being on its bump stops getting at the height sensor is a little difficult I've been expecting an air suspension fault...

Oh and the famous white connector behind the kick panel. J

The thing is if you dont have operating pressure in the system it may not leak. You need to spray the bags around the folds. The "going to off road" some have reported that before, but I dont know if it was ever resolved. But it could be sensor...

Cracks in the airbags will almost certainly be leaking

The air bags are Dunlop and are very dry cracked so I assume there original or atleast very old. The air suspension has been fine up until yesterday it even , stayed in standard ride height over night. I sprayed soapy water on the air tank...

At that age you probably have 4 bags past their shelve life and it only takes 1 to leak to get the car to lower over night. So was it up when you left it and down the next morning? You have probably been feeding a leak for some time and the...

Checked the line on the air tank, all seems fine dirty but fine. A worn piston seal might be the cause , as when I turn the car off you can hear the valve block releasing air , even tho the car hasn't raised.
