For info, new pump received and fitted along with small connector pipe to the valve block. Amazing what the system will do if you fill it with air. Pumped from flat on the bump stops to operating up and down normally in about 5 mins. I can live with that, doesnt seem to be dropping noticeably...

Lol! I kinda thought that, there's too much bad press for it not to have any substance. Shame cos cosmetically, I like the look of them. Will see if I can find a low mile late Td5 then or L322 R/R. Cheers

Absolutely, I agree 100%. Just waiting for a guy to get back to me about a new old stock landrover unit. The ones on fleabay are just as you describe either piston seal and o ring refurbs or even just cleaned up cosmetically. Cant afford a new unit from landrover and am shying away from the...

Indeed, I need air before I can do much else. I'd obviously have few problems sourcing a replacement compressor. But whilst I know I can get the piston seal/liner and thermal switch without any issues, is it possible to get hold of the end bearing which is situated in the end cap adjacent to the...

I had a similar problem in Scheveningen in Holland when I parked too close to a Nato Transmitter. Confused the hell out of the Truck which wouldn't respond to the key at all. A knowledgeable local helped me to push it down the hill 30 yards and normal service was resumed. Weird :confused:

An Update. Theres no continuity between orange and black wires with compressor removed so looks like thermal switch is jiggered, rear bearing in bits so that looks jiggered and unit is noisy which adds weight to that theory, unit powers up when 12v applied across black and green wires but hardly...

Lol! Truck is now virtually on bump stops, wife recovering at mothers......Result!. Joking aside, apart from a couple of seconds feeble operation yesterday before ceasing again yesterday, the compressor wont run. It isn't in hard fault mode but have cable, laptop and unlock software at the...

Sadly either my wire wiggling technique isnt up to scratch or connections to pump were ok. Thanks for the advice anyway though

Thanks, had a wiggle of the large plug earlier but not specific wires. Wife out in truck at the moment so will try when she gets back

Hi, can any of you disco guys give me any advice on buying (or not) a disco 3. I'm currenly looking seriously at them after an interesting few years of Range Rover P38 ownership and its fascinating air suspension issues. Any thoughts would be appreciated Andy :)

Hi, apologies to all, as usual I find myself only having the time to post when I or more specifically the P38 has problems. Anyway, its winter again and the Rangie has hit me with another eas problem although it has not to date gone to fault mode. I've checked through the forums but can't find...

Thats what I thought having looked at the arms but I have been wrong before, Cheers

Hi, Gonnae be changing the front radius arm bushes tomorrow. My question is, so long as I do the job with the front wheels on ramps and only remove then replace one radius arm at a time, will the air spring on the respective side give sufficient support to negate the need for using axle stands...

Bloody hell, just been out and checked, that is really quick - little more than a flicker, I've never noticed it before and wouldn't have without help, Thanks V.Much :D

Does everything except the blinking off then back on, is that ok?

Other than the help he freely gave in the form of advice, the only advantage I get is good karma for letting others know he is there. The shop is: 'High Speed Automaterialen', Gevers Deytnootweg 1154, 2586 HN Scheveningen. Tel. 070=354.12.27. To be honest , other than the usual accessories, he...

Friends, I took my beloved P38 on its second continental trip to Holland last month and was privileged to visit the resort of Scheveningen just north of The Hague. I parked in the dunes car park at the north end of the town and on attempting to lock the car there was no response from the central...

Thanks for the replies guys, sorry to take so long getting back, been working solid. re the abs light enigma, you're all dead right 'bout my initial 7mph mistake. My only worry is that the handbook says that the abs light should illuminate for about a second when the ignition is turned to...

Hi, P38 just failed its mot on rusted sills cos its within 30cm of the body mounts. Can anyone suggest if full inner sill panels are available or is it gonna be a cut and patch job? Also are preformed brake pipes available and last but not least, the tester failed it on the 'abs light sequence...

Have found an older guy who runs a small outfit at H.M.S. (Hillend Motor Services near Dalgety Bay in Fife To sort the diff bearings. He confidently discussed setting preload, backlash etc and has the presses and pullers to do the job. Additionally he is happy to receive the diff unit on the...
