I'd bet he'll be back when the new valve block doesn't fix itI agree. Sad to say but some people should not be allowed to own spanners.
He could send me the old one to add to my spares collection

Did you two ever think about applying for the old gits parts in the Muppets?

Hi guys
It’s so true what ur both saying , when I first bought my D3 my air suspension was in a right mess , wouldn’t sit level, dropped overnight , etc , etc
In the end disconnected lines, capping them off one by one and pressure testing them, then using a vaccum hand pump and gauge for my valve blocks , pressure gauge as well on my compressor to ensure it was reaching the req pressure , one valve block wasn’t working , found a loose wire and saved £100 , pressure tested air tank etc
Took a long time tracing everything out one by one , but at the end of the day knew then it was in fully working order
Indeed all about proving 100% an item is at fault before just changing parts that may not be required
Learnt with any fault have to be methodical
I’ll get my coat

If you all recall, I went through the rigmaroll of rebuilding the compressor and the valve block (which was no bad thing really) and it turned out my real problem was a burst exhaust had melted the pipe from the compressor to the air tank.
I pulled the relay and bridged the connections to run the compressor and went around the car and listened.
I heard the hissing at the back above the exhaust box and figured it out.
Some new pipe fixed it and away she went

I think he may have checked the valve block exhaust rather than THE exhaust

Most garages can't fix the EAS.

The guy who owned mine before me, was locked out by the immobilizer... The garage was going to send it straight to landrover!! They said they wouldn't touch it!!
I helped him open the back door which had super locked and jammed. Two bits of wire and a lawnmower battery helped jump it out of its state and allowed the EKA code inputs and voila... Up she rose from her slumber..
Hi
Is really annoying when garages try and rip u off, when my disco was having its mot at the dealers , the back door lock failed so was an instant fail
Dealer rang me and said they would have to rip off the door card because the door was super locked , told them to leave it and got a cab to the dealers
They then advised me it would be £100 for diagnostics and another £500 to sort it all out
I Refused and drove the disco home, got the door open using a combination of the dashboard switch and handle
Bought a new lock for £60 , fitted it in around 2 x hours , took the disco back a few days later and sailed through its mot
Really did infuriate me when they tried to rip me off by charging an outrageous amount of £100 for diagnosis and then £180 per hour labour totalling nearly £600
Wouldn’t ever go back to them
