I'd say you'll be putting a gearbox in it, it seems to be the weakest link on the early cars and as BiB has suggested, a couple of grand seems to be about the sum to do it properly. Look at it this way though, you've got an early car which (I personally think) has aged very well now, if it's...

Trying to make amends for earlier, have a look at this video of a valve block strip down on an LR3/4. I think it's the same as the one in the L322. Interestingly this one is slightly stuck on the balance between the left and right air springs. Around 5:20 you see all the silica dust in there...

I'm pleased you've edited that!

Oh. My. God! That wasn't a dare! Get ready. @LR-hobbs I'm so sorry we're hijacking this thread and derailing it! Mark and I will now have to personally find the answers to your questions to try and get this back on track.

I think this is how it was done on the older stuff. It's unlikely that you'll be pulling too much amperage by adding trailer lights. The bypass relay is mainly used on newer vehicles that will throw bulb failure warnings if the resistance is wrong. The relay takes a micro pulse from the car...

Can't believe you didn't just tag him! We need another 60 pages of "Gotcha questions" whatever they are. :)

No idea why that link won't link. Here's the long version...

I have a feeling that might not be an option, Germany has some funny rules about towing and the TUV might insist on it being 13 pin native especially if they need reverse lights on the socket. No idea whether TUV would test the live outputs or not but they'll certainly test the lighting...

I've never done one myself but I'm sure I've read about people rebuilding them, no doubt someone clever with some actual experience will be along shortly to tell us where the best resources are. I expect mine will fail soon enough but I'm sure my compressor is starting to run a bit longer than...

Whilst I'm very pleased for you, this level of bragging has brought up some feelings of jealousy. Nah, I'm over it. Good for you my friend. Good for you!

Have you checked for leaks around the union on the new bag? I'm wondering if the pipe has got damaged when changing the bags, a bit of soapy water will help you out there. The standout obscurity to me here is that it seems to know it's right rear but also "Pressure static when filling air...

Oh hang on, my mistake, I've just found the Ignore option. Absolutely have at it. Leave us the longest diatribe you can.

If I was going to insult you,I'd have done it properly, it's all in your head. Just jog on now.
