Just as an FYI....

I have just bought one of these from Island 4x4 for £150.00 plus VAT. A considerable saving over the list price of the Land Rover ANR 3731.

Rimmers do them for £165 + VAT. Craddocks £200 + VAT.

Anyway, it arrived just now, and look what I got... First up a Eurospares box, albeit with dunlop branded sticky tape.

A legit Dunlop compressor, manufactured less than 2 years ago. Nice work Island 4x4. I was a little worried, their website doesn't show a Dunlop compressor, and the price seemed very good, but there we are. Sometimes you can't trust a book by it's dust jacket.

I bought the kit to rebuild my old one.... installed it all, but it's worse than it was!

Can't work out what I did, followed the X8R video to the letter, but I've clearly done something wrong. I suspect's it's something to do with the reed valves.

I ended up thinking fcuk it! I'm buying a good one, and I can fix the old one at my leisure.

Also have a Dunlop air compressor on my D3 , slightly different but very pleased With it

indeed a great price

as a side note don’t know if there similar but got rid of all the Voss connectors and replaced them with brass pushfits , was shocked to see those Voss connectors are around £16.00 each whereas the brass pushfits are only around £4.50

in the past have seen some use the cheap plastic collar pushfits that fail, mainly due to them only rated at 10 x bar and compressor has an average output of up to 17 x bar, brass pushfits are rated at 80 x bar

also noticed many online shops that sell the plastic airline pipe also have a low pressure rating , again around 10 x bar leading to a failure point

hope all goes well when u get round fitting it

I Succumbed and bought a new one! So I currently have 2 rebuilt, 1 on the car, 1 on the bench and now a new one on the way. I have a brand new driver pack, new height sensors (Dunlop) and a fully tested valve block. As soon as it gets warm again I am going to be tinkering again even though the EAS is currently working! I think that by putting in all of this new stuff and calibrating I shall be good for a while. It also gives me some more bits to rebuild :)
 
I'm fighting the temptation to take this new one apart so I'm better skilled to rebuild my old ones.....

I have history doing that though, and may end up with one more broken one! I might do a live trace with the Nanocom once fitted, and stick it on here, just so we know how long a brand new compressor should run whilst driving around!

Personally I wouldn't, you will void the warranty for one and as you say, things may go wrong as per Murphy's first law of P38 tinkering ;)
