Hi, 2011 LR4 DIY replacing the air compressor. LR dealer quoted $2500 AUD, can get a AMK for around $ 300 dollars, do you have to reprogram the ecu? or is there another way to do this if you are in the bush and there are no dealers in a 1000ks. Also how do you get seat covers on a HSE with the arms in the road.

What’s the original compressor?
If it’s already got AMK then straight swop. If not then yes some electrickery will be needed.
I don’t know when they changed over maybe @gstuart can throw some light.

hi

personally own a gap iid which will do everything including suspension recalibration and also update the compressor

older discos had the hitachi , newer ones had the amk, so if u go from an hitachi to an amk u do a software update which the gap iid will do

alas there around £420 Sterling uk, but will pay for themselves very quickly , will be like having access to a dealers capability in ur own hands

if u replace like for like u don’t have to reprogram anything , they will normally come with a new relay

here’s the link for the gap iid , plus there after sales is second to none , here’s a link for u , if u scroll down and add ur model u can see what it can do, plus of course read fault codes, reset them and live data

also there contact page , just in case there’s something different and to be 100% sure

seat covers I bought ones from Inka, they fit extremely well , alas not sure if they shop to aus

please be very careful as there are plenty of fakes around of hitachi and amk , here in the uk a genuine amk kit are around £500 Sterling

this company is very good
