How could that possibly be? With all those big breasted Scandanavian blonds and the beer plus the huge income from the slum lettings you should be as happy as larry all the time.:D

those breasted Scandanavian blonds must all be in Sweden haven´t seen them her in Denmark :(
 
It's funny you guys banging on about new air springs because I have got a bit of a flat hoof!!!!! :mad:
You have seemingly covered all of the angles thus saving me asking for your valued advice...
I think I'll plumb for the Gen II's I'm off shopping now...
I'll let you know how I get on if your interested...;)

Not sure if anyone's still out there as the subject has gone off at a bit of a tangent!
Well I've had my new Gen II air springs fitted only to find that my air pump has burned out :doh: repair kit ordered so fingers crossed that nothing else is buggered!!!
 
Several minutes if your compressor is good, for ever if your compressor is shot. If you had used the guide you would have seen that there is no need to depressurise the complete system
 
it is up now :) but it took 20 min :(

it have bin on the bumpstop´s sins 2008 :).

do i have to change the seal in the compressor ????

Thats a bit long, either you have a leak or the pump is weak IMO. See how it goes now it's up, does it stay up overnight?

That is an option, but most would just fit a new piston seal and cylinder around £30.00 from eBay. How to do this is i think covered on www.rangerover.net . But it does depend on the age of your compressor, and the condition of the drive motor in it. Cummutator, brushes, bearings etc. A new replacement Dunlop can be bought from Island 4x4 for £159.99.

Yes that is the cheapest option. Check the valves are sealing and providing the motor side is servicable it should keep you going for the least outlay. When the motor side goes down, then a new pump is the only sensible option. I would never use a secondhand pump. False economy.

haw do i check the valve ??

the motor on the pump is running perfect :)
 
Compressor needs attention.
Valve block needs attention.
You're EAS tank reservoir leaks badly at the valve block (most common area).

If it wasn't the case, compressor shouldn't turn at all in theory to set the car at height.

It's not the compressor that inflates the airsprings, it's the EAS tank reservoir and that thing should be full of air even on the morning.

No way putting a new or rebuilt compressor on a leaky system:doh:
