I took the three bolts out of the latch and twisted it slightly to be able to remove the double right angled b*****d. I didn't disconnect anything else so was careful when twisting latch. New cable end seemed to go in much more easily than old one came out. Oh, and be careful when removing...

That's an oxymoron, pumpkin ;)

I had a similar issue recently and, yes, my leak did cause all 4 corners to sink (albeit the affected corner went down first). After replacing 2 rear airbags and reconditioning the compressor, I found a small hole in the pipe 4 inches from where it entered the bag. New bit of pipe and a...

Well, What a b*****d of a job that was!! Moreirinha - you were right, it does help to loosen the latch unit itself. Bill - The double angled hook on the original cable seemed to be "thicker" than the new one. What this meant was getting the old one out was a right chore but the new one...

Did you leave the door open whilst doing this? I believe, to charge the tank, you need a door open.

Thanks for that Bill, I notice on the diagram that there isn't a comment for the removal/refit of the double right angled b****rd!! My cable has snapped at the other end to yours just leaving the right angled metal piece. As the light was bad, I've removed the handle housing , brought it...

Hi All, I've had a look re the above but just wanted to clarify a couple of points. My door release cable has snapped at the inside door handle end so I've ordered a new one from Island 4x4. I've removed the door card and can see where the other end of the cable fits to the latch...

Owning a Rangie, how the hell can you afford an iPad :confused:.

I re-furbed my compressor recently using this guy and had no problems. Sent it quickly and price was very reasonable. I actually bought the kit with the piston itself included as I didn't want to bugger around with removing/replacing the seals - I just know I would've f****d up the new one :o

Weirdly, she's not. It wasn't driving characteristics that brought this to my attention; it was just that she looked higher in standard mode than before the air spring change. Having said that, I drive relatively short journeys at a leisurely pace. I'll try the EAS lockout procedure to meassure...

Cheers, I'll PM Datatek when he re-appears. As for your problem I am in no way an expert but did you clean the connections in the multiplug? Whenever I do anything on the big girl now that involves multiplugs, my Maplins contact cleaner and toothbrush are never very far away! Some more...

I found this a very useful post. I'd noticed my standard ride height being a little bit higher than previously so I've just checked all the measurements and mine are : Access 405mm Standard 510mm High 540mm I had a slight issue with the motorway measurement as the tape measure kept flapping in...

Hi Chaps, I've got a standard 1999 DSE which also means I don't have one of those expensive phones which can record video images :(. However, in the interests of science, I have just had a quick run up the "Tatton mile" and achieved a 15.6 second 0 to 60 time. I'm thinking that's quite poor...

Ok, thanks for that.

I know, I know, I shouldn't have moonwalked in front of her. Started this morning and a big whoosh of air from the new airspring (right rear side). Did a bit of checking and what appears to be happening is that air is being blown into the bag up until a point (a certain pressure, I presume)...

<Seven Lucky Logs dances round the yard whooping with joy, then moonwalks to the house passed a very surprised wife, spins her a couple of times and struts into the house heading for the PC. "I must tell the forumistas" he's thinking. But wait....... SHE's listening and could be planning a new...

Thank you Datatek

OK, Quick update (mainly for those poor saps out there like me who have a little but dangerous amount of knowledge :)) Now I KNOW what reed valves are (why call them reed valves though - they look nothing like reeds; more like thin flat flexible pieces of metal) and where that pesky little O...

Thanks Wammers, glad we're still mates :) And believe you me, I know my limitations. When someone first said I had a BECM in the Range Rover, I ran outside with my autograph book!! Cheers Tim

Thanks for the reply; I understand that one :). As for the final part, if that was my attitude, I wouldn't be here in the first place. I always thought one of the reasons for the existence of these forums was to pass on knowledge not electronically shout at people for not possessing it...
