    Rear R\H shock mount has torn away from chassis

    Thanks for the repies everyone. I've had someone come out to look at it and it is corrosion. It's up on ramps in the garage tomorrow to see what can be done :( I just hope that the affected area can be sorted out.

    Rear R\H shock mount has torn away from chassis

    It never rains but it pours as they say. Got to my Disco this morning to discover a large pool of brake flud underneath the rear RHS. A quick look underneath showed the problem. The shock mount has torn off the side of the chassis taking part of the outer chassis with it! I've no idea when or...

    Rear aircon pipe blanking - Is it possible?

    Well, they're going to take a good look to see what can be done. If the pipe can be patched in anyway they will give it a bash howerver, the fall-back is to isolate the rear aircon components. I'll be interesting to see what they can do either way :)

    Rear aircon pipe blanking - Is it possible?

    Had a word with the aircon people and they basically said what you did. Isolate the rear system and jobs a good-un. It's already booked in for next week. A few hours labout is better than the cost of the pipe alone :) My kids do enjoy having the rear blower working though so is it possible to...

    Rear aircon pipe blanking - Is it possible?

    I had my aircon recharged a couple of months back and after a few weeks the situation was back to as it was before the charge i.e. no cool air from system. I took it back to the (very good and independant) aircon speciists for a diagnosis and they tell me that the pipe to the rear aircon unit...

    Compressor air inlet valve clip broke

    Thanks for the help everyone. Just to let you know, all is good now. New bags and compressor working fine. Turned out one set of 'how to' instructions on the net were not as good as another, and it didn't help that my drive is on a slight slope and leans which made getting both wheel stations...

    Compressor air inlet valve clip broke

    And the saga continues. New airbags fitted but the right hand one does not inflate. It turns out that whilst there is plenty of pressure being fed to the left hand when I unscrewed the pipe from the right hand air supply valve there was no pressure in there at all. It's not the pipe into the...

    Compressor air inlet valve clip broke

    Well, the new pump works fine, unfortunately only the left had rear bag is inflating so it looks like I'm off to buy 2 new suspension airbags this morning. One Landrover specialist I haf talked to suspected the rear right bag had the valve blocked which was trapping the reamining air in there...

    Compressor air inlet valve clip broke

    Sugru is awesome: About sugru - the future needs fixing - sugru From their site: Basically, even if the inlet pipe is a little loose this will provide a decent flexable seal on the outside of the compressor which is weatherproof. I've used it on electrical items quite a bit and it can be a...

    Compressor air inlet valve clip broke

    Well, it looks as all might not be lost. The pipe retaining collar is largely intact with only one tooth missing so I can still use it to secure the air intake pipe and as that is not going to be acting under pressure it should remain quite solid. If I do need to secure it better I can use Sugru.

    Compressor air inlet valve clip broke

    I'm in a 'damn and blast' situation here. I have just taken delivery of a second had compressor to relace my inop one. As the one I received had literally been cut out of its donor vehicle it still had all of the pipework attached and whilst removing the air inlet pipe I've broken the clip that...

    Should my air comperssor be making a noise

    Swapping over the relays and bridging the contacts didn't work. I'm ordering a replacement now. Thanks for the help and at least it won't take long to swap over :)

    Should my air comperssor be making a noise

    OK, that's interesting. Recently the drivers door won't unlock remotely but will lock with the remote and I do get the horn sounding once occasionally when locking remotely. I'm pretty sure that the pump hadn't been working before that started to happen though. **Actually, I've just found out...

    Should my air comperssor be making a noise

    My suspension has been bugging me for a bit now. Whilst not on the bumps, it does not raise and the off-road button does nothing at all. There is about 4 fingers between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch on either side which to mee does not seem like enough. At first I thought it was the...

    Central locking weirdness

    Cheers. The passenger side amde no noise at all when not working which is why I was sure the actuator had failed. However the drivers side still makes a noise but just won't open. I'm going to go with a used part for now as I also need to get a new fuel pressure regulator as mine has a slight...

    Central locking weirdness

    Before you recommend i use the search function, I have and no topic here (or on other LR forums) seem quite to fit the bill as to my problem. When I opened the disco this morning to load up the clan to go to a kids sports club function I noticed the passenger door didn't unlock with the...

    I'm sure they will be someone on Ebay selling 10 for £1. Just like Halfords and obscure fuses.
