Afternoon all,

My D2 (02 Plate) air compressor stopped working about 4 months ago. The relay was changed with a working relay and still nothing. Its sagging quite badly now. Am I looking at a compressor change or is there something else I can check first? The only snag is that I'm in Saudi Arabia and my truck is in Norfolk. I'll be home in 2 weeks so plenty of time to order spares.
 
Hello,
I had a Disco 2 TD5 same year as yours and I had sagging problems+compressor was not a lot of good.,I recall it sounded really bad ended up having the air bags/compressor replaced to cure it and it did...pricey but it was the only way i was told....I would check your bags for leaks as well.At the time i was told the air bag life was 10 years.They were about 17 years old at the time and had never been replaced.
Sorry its not a positive easy fix suggestion.
 
Thanks for your reply. I have ordered new bags and a new compressor (which was 99 quid off eBay). I'll get that done in the 2 weeks I'm home
 
Well you've done the deed now! I had the same issue about 18 months ago and bit the bullet and bought a new compressor from Germany, Asus £175.00. No problems since.
 
Make sure that the pipe's end is cut straight and it's not scratched around then push the pipe fully in and pull
 
It's push-fit connector, that's how it works

Quick update about Lucy. Air compressor replaced (full of water), air bags didn't require replacing.Full service carried out including gearbox service. pollen filter fit and total cost of 200 pounds (using an Arabic keyboard so no pound sign). I supplied the parts
 
Another update. New compressor full of water again and broken. I'm still in Saudi so haven't driven it at all. I've converted it to Terrafirm shocks and springs. Hopefully I can get a refund from the seller of the compressor as its not been driven through any puddles or deep water.
 
I doubt that you'll get refund if the compressor suffered from water ingress cos that's not the fault of the supplier/manufacturer. You should carefully investigate to figure out how that water could have entered in it. Even if you didnt drive it in water, if it was heavy rain it's possible that the LH tail light is not seated well and water got behind it and sucked in through the air intake or something.
 
Its possible sierrafery but as I'm 3000 miles away I can't really investigate. It'll stay on springs for now. Problem is one of my dogs can't get into it as its too high :)
guess I'll look for a little car too
