Hi my rangie is down on its bump stops and i suspected the air compressor , went to youtube and saw some quality checks you can do on your compressor,the question i have is that i have done the test on the compressor by removing relay 20 and checked with a piece of wire terminals 87 and 30 on fuse box and the compressor just clicks can i rebuild this compressor or would i have to buy a new one ?[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQAt7fdPMMo"]YouTube- Manually Activate the Range Rover EAS Compressor[/ame]
2000 model 4.0litre , or have i got it wrong again. thanks
 
My flippin 63 1/4 bit Windows flippin Vista flippin Explorer won't let me run pop ups to see what exactly they are testing but if you are anyway mechanically handy just unplug the compressor in the EAS box and put 12v direct to the terminals (IIRC there are 3 or 4 terminals but its not hard to figure which ones are for power and which are the thermal switch from the size of the wires). If it spins happily its salvageable with a kit form Rover Renovations (bear in mind you may need a piston sleeve as well as the seal and o-rings), if it just knocks then its not so easy. You could take it to an electricl rewind guy but you're out of action while thats happening.

New ones are flippin expensive so make sure you really need it before buying.
 
Hi Spudh
you will probable have to turn off the pop up blocker in a couple of locations

windows 7 plays it fine
try google toolbar for a pop up blocker icon and via tools and then pop up blocker
dependant on what version of internet explorer you have
(test that by help then about internet explorer)
 
Thanks Cavey but I think the problem runs deeper, I think some of the software guys like flash player and such haven't released 64bit versions yet and for some reason my 32bit explorer completely stopped working when I installed a sevice pack before Christmas. I was without internet on the home computer for weeks until i stumbled on the 64 bit version of Explorer while trying to uninstall explorer 8 and then bingo, internet back.

I'm no IT guru but I'm reasonably competent around a keyboard (I even know what a command prompt is ;)) yet this one completely baffled me.
