No all are same it would appear just me getting my to's and from's mixed up. Do wonder about the routing. I mean why would you drive all the way to Glasgow from Preston then turn round and drive half way back to get to Carlisle. Sorry. ;):D:D

Actually, for the tank pipe, there is not a lot of difference if you take it forward and across with the O/S airbag pipe, then past the air tank doubling back to go in the rear where it goes to protect it from damage.:D

A few feet and it would never get burned by a leaking exhaust would it. ;):D

True about the exhaust but the difference in length is very little and that would leave the other 2 pipes to melt anyway.:D

True but the other pipes are a lot easier to repair. If you look at it properly think you will find the difference in length is considerable. :D

You didn't go for the Land rover supplied repair kit then. Which consists of 500 mm of pipe at £49.62 and two quick connectors at £12.35 each i take it.:D:D
 
I looked at that and thought NAH!!!!!! and paid approx £6.00 for a gi huge length and cut it.
Now got enough for the next three repairs too :p
 
Not found cause yet but was pouring rain most of the day so couldn’t do much today tomorrow I’m going to fill the tank with it jacked up from a different compressor and check for leaks again but as wammers says there must be one somewhere because I can inflate all the bags and they stay inflated most of my trouble is no garage and no time
 
Just filled the tank but still no joy on tracking the leak will get new pipe deliver this week and next wkend will run it straight to tank and see what happens
 
Just a quick update fitted new pipe from valve block to air tank all good filled the tank with my compressor door open closed door bags all inflate put pipe back in valve block and poxy compressor keeps running and height light stays flashing here we go again wammers and data

With door open compressor should fill tank and stop within 5 or 6 minutes, if not. Check compressor output check diaphragm valve.
