Data Could you have a careful look at the second pic : is there anything you would diagnose from the colour/condition of the situation under the diaphragm ?

It doesn't bear any immediate resemblance to anything in there : I'll examine the diaphgram in detail when to new one arrives. I suppose with the movement and air pressure going through there it also has the potential to move around which could cause intermittent probs. The valve block has not...

Just opened up exhaust diaphgram : expecting new parts in mail tomorrow. Inside I found this little piece of crud lodged across diaphgram : on examination it looks like a little piece of string ! Part was flattened and I see a mark on the diaphgram itself which may be a tiny indentation which...

Have you done "setup" ? ....not clear from your message. Fisrt thing you should be getting is to accept the licence agreement : sounds like you haven't unloaded it yet.

Ignore my last....it just took yonks to download !! Thanks

Just getting a blank page on that link.

Is this what I'mlooking for (Island 4x4) Air Suspension Valve Block Solenoid Diaphragm Kit STC1803 Manufacturer : OEM Part Number : STC1803

Point taken : now see clearly what I had done : apologies all round. Thanks for your patience.

there's obviously something I'm not following and I'm sorry about that : last thing I want to do is break any of the rules . I thought I had done the right thing by starting a new thread with the above title. Thanks as always guys.

Sorry to have caused any confusion with my lack of knowledge : compressor was running exactly as spelled out by Wammers. I was in the process of going round the system all as instructed in Wammers excellent "how to" Had renewed compressor but still no rise : had removed & refitted a rear airbag...

Thanks as always Wammers : far from nicking it I have saved the instructions to my own computer and was just trying to explain that I had at least read up on the matter before troubling people. ( you would see that I did give the acknowledgement that the quotation came from you !)...

Don't know the answer to that one but I've got air coming out the exhaust filter outlet : have just replaced the compressor : do you know the fix for the exhaust diaphragm or can you point me to where I can find it in Rave ?

Older gentlemen "lurking in the background " is not necessarily a wise step these days.

I just jammed a bit of foam under it 3 years ago and it hasn't done it again ! Worth trying.

"remove exhaust outlet filter from valve block. White cylindrical screw in unit to rear of valve block. With compressor running place a finger over outlet. If air is escaping, either diaphragm has failed (common fail) or diaphragm solenoid valve (above exhaust port on block) has failed (very...

Irish I would just like to express my personal thanks for your help/guidance/sympathy duting my many probs. Do we have going away parties here ? I will fax a fiver for the kitty.

Hate to tell you this but you need to get a recognised "expert" probably a main dealer to examine, diagnose and give you a formal report on cause. If their report points to negligence you are up and running. Take pics, or get garage to take pics. Assuming a positive report, inform garage who did...

Looking at it again it's possible it's had a bit of force used in the past but I suspect that the advice about cleaning the seat effectively will do the job. Inflating might also do the biz. Thanks guys : I think I was just needing abit of sympathy :(

Thanks Blenheim : I've got one trolley jack under the chassis member and I have another one available which at the moment I have under the suspension arm : I didn't want to force it with that one in case I took the sensor beyond its travel but I might just risk it. Can't guarantee mind will be...

Removed rear one air bag : it was not seated correctly and I was getting small air loss. On refitting ( Dunlops) I find that I am unable to get the top of the bag far enough up through the opening to get the pin through : we are talking 1-2mm. I am on my own and so far have tried forcing it up...
