Disco 2 Removing air compressor - is it ok to do so?

mikerajjers · Sep 13, 2015

Hi,
I'm just about to de-rust and treat the front half of the chassis (did the back last year), change some oils and stuff.

Looking at the air compressor, the casing looks shot and the airlines are torn. I've had springs fitted last year and it seems some of my offloading has torn the airlines (I wanted to keep everything in place in case I want to go back to air).

Is it ok to simply unbolt the compressor and remove? Pull out the air lines?

Cheers

I can't see a reason why not, just make sure all wiring is made safe.

Its out...and I even cut out the holder as it was pretty rusty.

so if you remove the compressor am I right in saying you don't need to have the air turned of with a nanocom

Yes, I believe so. I had set my suspension to springs via hawkeye last year.

there is not many people with nanocoms or hawkeye's out here I am in Gibraltar that's why I am looking at things to do without the devices

Ha, ha, ha...Gibralter. I used to live there as a kid - great memories.

Not a much of a challenge over there for a Landy

I have a hawkeye and its a great tool and interesting to play around with. Cost me 250 quid and I reckon its paid for itself by avoiding having to go to a dealer for a fault diagnosis
