Marjon is right Aliexpress doesn't service Crimea and it has upset a lot of people same with Amazon. Mainland Russia is fine but with all the sanctions the most people it affects are the Crimeans rather than the people who moved in here, But that said since the take over the improvements in the...

Tried getting the button kit as I need that also for one of the fobs but apparently the company I usually use are having to much trouble with airmail to Russia at the moment so wont supply. I did get some suspension airbags from them recently and all good OEM parts. Yes they arrived but weeks...

Cheers, Luckily I do have 2 good working keys even though the buttons have worn on the second.

Got a message on the dash today never seen before, Luckily one not to worry about. Key fob battery low. How cool is that? is there no end to the messages in the brain of this beast. Question is has anybody got any good ideas and i said good ideas of how to get into the back when the slot has...

How did you sort it? For future reference..

I bought the one with the all the gaskets, O rings piston ring and liner. Although from this kit as i had a previous one just used the piston ring, Liner and top large O ring. i now have spare filters and other gaskets.

I have just rebuilt mine.....Twice. The first time i got a kit from Island 4x4 complete with liner. The new ring wore out in less than a week. Don't know if it was a faulty batch or not as Island stuff is usually pretty good. got another kit from X8R and the top rubber o ring seems to sit better...

Went out this morning and big smile, After yesterdays compressor re rebuild and the new airbags the beast was still at the same height as yesterday. Result.:D:D

I thought the ride was fine before, but its similar when you put new tyres on you have just gotten used to the way the old ones were and then you feel a lot more grip. In this case it just feels tighter and smoother.

Finally received the bits I need so rebuilt the EAS compressor again for the second time in a month. Used X8R parts this time so hopefully will last longer than a week. Compressor re fitted and fired the beast up. Left the bonnet open for a while as I knew the system was completely empty. Closed...

Did run it at 1500 to 2000 and not just tick over but you are correct as it does take a bit from the battery to start a big lump.

Tracked my replacement compressor parts and now in Moscow so all things being good hope to have the beast back on the road by Friday. However just went out today and ran he beast for 15 mins to keep the battery good and especially in the cold weather we are having at the moment. Although minus...

Looked out of the window at the beast as the snow starts to fall and thought you bugger, its off the road for about the next 3 weeks all for the want of an EAS compressor piston ring costing penny's!!! how Range Roverish is that?

Very difficult to find over here and very expensive even with moon miles on them. I am often stopped in car parks and asked if i want to sell mine as its in really good shape. Also I live in an apartment so storage for another beast would be difficult and as I work away I already pay for parking...

That's all well and good but its then the postage out to here and it's just over the 1.5kg airmail limit so its then DHL at quite a considerable amount. However, if the next kit does the same (ordered from another supplier) it will be the next option.

A few weeks ago rebuilt the compressor on the EAS new piston sleeve and ring and O rings as it was due and was worn. Also got new airbags (Dunlop) for the rear as i also knew they were due and had a slow leak in the offside rear. Went out today to go into town and bugger wouldn't lift past...

Hope so too, all depends on flights from Moscow to Bordeaux as then have to get south to pick up the car and then back North to Le Bugue

Leave here about the 25th Jan.

That is beyond my ken

Finally received the second airbag as a Christmas pressie from Ruski post but as suspected the weather has turned to the cool side. (not so when I ordered them), so rebuilt the compressor and while the airbags are working will leave alone. The only bonus to replacing them now is that the cold...
