I can't explain that. I just like tinkering with things. It needs to capture my imagination for me to want to work on it.
I took the boat to pieces, I never got off the shore.Ok tinker away. Bet you spent your wedding night stood up in a canoe.

Easy and pointless. The standard system if it's leak free rises in seconds after being left for 2 weeks.A contentious thread I'm not sure I want to have. I have stress in work and I dont need stress in my leisure time.
My whole air system is on steroids. it's going to be a lot quicker to rise. I have upgraded the compressor and used a 1/2" line from the compressor direct to the air tank, and then from the air tank to the valve block. The lines from the vlave block to the airbags are the same though.
I don't want arguements so I have been using metalworking forums to document this process. Which seems a shame since an EDC is an interesting upgrade and easy to do.
Maybe best if I just continue this thread.
And get very snotty if you point out a time waster who has been on other forums and ignored advice.Should have put the engine driven compressor on "rangerovers.net". They like stuff like this over there.
But seem to get the hump about banter.

No, it was another one, can't remember the details. RR.Net sent me an official warning, so I told them to feck off and un-subscribed.Was that the lad who despite having changed chains and sprockets and eventually got them in the correct place. Could not achieve 0.9 mm lift on cam for static at TDC even with pump pressed hard against the engine? He had pretty obviously dropped the spacer between roller plate and piston into the bottom of the pump when doing the head seal. But he just would not listen.
My air conditioning compressor was siezed, broken, so I used a compressor I had from a previous vehicle. Anyone else could just use the stock compressor I think, It will work as an air pump.
That's true and its irresponsible of me to say that without checking. I'll take apart the broken one I have and see whats inside.
Wammers the images below are copied & pasted in from another forum. The Sanden compressor I'm using has been used as an engine driven compressor by others and the mods needed were documented online and easy to follow,

Got the compressor with a refrigerated box truck, it was used to keep it cool overnight.
The in / out ports
Difficulty level: easy
I took guidance from this page -

made a grub screw with my angle grinder, works fine.
Plate
taking bolt pattern from original aircon bracket
Plate steel looks good everywhere.
The V groove pulley came from an earlier Beemer
Huge amount of work. The bracket took 2 weeks in total, working evenings. I would be working on something regardless, the trick is to find something interesting , so the time is well spent? Spent productively..,.
