Thanks. Glad I'm not barking up the wrong tree. Best I tighten my belt and buy a new driver pack. I'm not going to fit a 12yr old 2nd hand unit just to get the same fault again down the line. Hopefully his will leave me to get on and lift the heads off and sort the gaskets. No rest for the...

Mmm. No leaks but still an unserviceable EAS. The bags are new, the valve block is new (the old still leaks from under the valve even after a new o-ring has been installed). The fault now shows as a random rear bag lowering then inflation on listening excessive valve switching followed by...

Unbelievable isn't it. Another belter is on inspection 3 out of 4 air springs had been replaced with brand new air springs. The 4th I've just done myself but why wouldn't you do all 4 if your doing 3. Replacing one or two I could understand but three it just shows at the quality of the...

Fair enough. The problem I had was the previous owner had replaced the original wheels with 22" stormers and had been checking all the local kerbs integrity out. This had led to my rear near side hub seal leaking and the beginnings of a bearing rumble. Whilst replacing the hub seal I inspected...

I may still have a set kicking around in the shed. They will need powder coating though and the side brackets will need rubber moulds. I only had enough left for the brackets I used and the ones sold to my local independent. The rubber is expensive mind at £60 a can.

I've just replaced a rear hub on mine. Correct me if I'm wrong but the hubs/bearings were never made to be separated or replaced and so even with a hydraulic press it's no guarantee of a trouble free job. I pressed the old bearing out of the original hub before opting for a replacement hub as...

Thought I'd update you with the results of this air leak. After a month or so of leak checking and being unable to locate it at the rear I decided to bite the bullet and take it to an independent. After two days I got a phone call back saying that he couldn't find any leak on the rear as both...

Cheers Datatek. The rear air springs were both inflated. Then I immediately disconnected the battery as I thought this might take the EAS self levelling out of the equation. I left the vehicle in a garage for a week and on my return both rears were equally deflated. I'm just brainstorming but...

Thanks, The vehicle isn't a daily runner as its a weekend renovation project for the better half. We both have other reliable vehicles for daily use as I wouldn't like to rely on it until I've finished my restoration of it. Next in line is a full engine rebuild so its going nowhere in a hurry...

Cheers Wammers I was thinking along the same lines as you with the switch open due to a leak and the compressor running to rebuild pressure but what are your thoughts about both rear shocks loosing air as I thought they were independent of each other once their feeds leave the valve block. Hence...

Hi, After replacing my height sensors recently in a spate of tlc I noticed my rear suspension was deflating overnight on both sides. This had occasionally happened previously. Having also noticed my new compressor running for long periods I used my faultmate to read a pressure switch open...

Looks great and as long as it has no electrical niggles it should be fine. I recently bought a 3 yr old Jag XK to complement my P38 and felt the same. I felt nervous at the extra fuel over my previous 35mpg + daily use. I honestly now don't care about the fuel as it costs just over £10...

Oh I forgot to explain the lazy reset of the sensor fault. I'm a soldier living away from my better half, my p38 and tools during the week and having been waiting for some leave to tackle it. As I've recently discovered a rear hub seal leak on the same corner lol I thought I'd tackle both...

Thanks all for the advice. With regards to the sensors it was next on my list of jobs however I'm not convinced it is both sensors as they are at opposite corners and I think the one corner(rear) occasionally sitting lower and the reading being out of the pack so to speak on the faultmate is...

Ok thats a thought. Thanks. Could another EAS fault which I thought unrelated be affecting the rear air sus. Every now and then the EAS warning light goes off and I reset it. The fault is either front left height sensor out of limits or rear right height sensor out of limits on my faultmate...

Hi I've noticed when parked for a week and not lowered the rear air suspension gradually drops onto its bumpstops over 2-3 days and the front stays as left. When testing with my fault ate a reoccurring fault code is pressure switch on. On initial look the rear air shocks look almost...

Payen gaskets purchased thankyou. One more question. When I strip the heads I have a sneaking suspicion I may end up speaking to turners for a new block and will probably change / recondition the old radiator. What brand of radiator would you recommend?

Hi Well MOT passed for another year however I was allowed to inspect the underside of my vehicle whilst on ramps. My slow oil leak appears to be from the heads which would also possibly explain my coolant loss. I'm looking for quality OE spec gasket kit or gaskets and have two options. Option...

Thanks, that makes the values clearer. Now I'm wondering which burst pressure 140 or 200 is correct for my 4.6 as I think possibly my old cap wasn't relieving the pressure.

Thanks for the debate. The value is on the pressure relief part of the cap and so I assumed it was related to a pressure value or scale. It is a different colour and value on it which surprised me. Well I've ran it upto temp with the new cap and their was no pressure on releasing the cap when...
