One step at a time my mate. Also when you do the diaphragm there also the none return valves. They sit in the block a certain way, these are something else that can leak but definitely check the diaphragm first as they crack and leak air from...

Ah , that makes sense , hopefully I can get this running. I don't want to have to switch to coils.

It will not work, if ECU wants to lift left rear for example but the wrong solenoid is fitted, it will raise the wrong corner. I number each solenoid with a corresponding number where it fits using a marker pen.

Il do it one at a time ,take pictures, and following the guide. What can happen if you muddle them up?

Gorra a full one sat in its plastic housing along with driver for £35 :rolleyes:

Either do the solenoids one at a time or carefully mark each one with the place it fits. All too easy to get them muddled.

Right , rebuild kit is on the way . Seems reasonable to understand, makes sense if it's leaks as it took ages to change heights when it was working

So with exhaust leaking while pump is running the diaphragm almost certainly needs doing. It was probably that failing that killed the old pump. Valve block has to come out to do it as the valve sits between the blocks highlighted below. The...

no white powder thankfully.

+1 on check for white powder - if there is the dryer is breaking down & either needs replacing, or new dessicant. Diaphragm leaking could be either dryer powder preventing it from closing, or a split in the diaphragm. Full valve block rebuild...

Any signs of white powder when you took the silencer off?

No, that is the air intake filter for the compressor.

I can feel air out of that also , put my finger on it and you can hear the air noise change. Thanks mate god send 👍 What's the best step from here ? Is it a rebuild of the valve block?

No that's the compressor inlet filter. The exhaust silencer (not filter - my bad) is at the back of the block. It just unscrews by hand.

After I installed I ran the car for 10 mins with the door open and still didn't rise , I took that off and I could feel air put my finger on the port it made a bit of suction.

Just to be sure you mean this right ?

Take the little exhaust filter out & check if there's air from the port while pump is running. If there is, then the diaphragm valve is leaking. That valve is on the same 12V that the pump uses, so it should engage together with the pump...

It was @brianp38dse I think. The injector head at the back of the pump can be done on engine and only undo the injector head piece until you can just see the oring. Any further and you run the risk of parts inside dropping out of position...

Might have been @backinblack that did the guide?

It was just the top seal on both mine but the diesel ran down and made it look like there were lots of leaks.

If there is one positive to be had from this thread, It's got me proper interested in the L322. I like all LRs but never really paid much attention to the RRs.

This is amazing

It’s taken 436 posts and 22 pages but I think we’ve successfully proven that no one on this forum is helpful and that OP is by far and away a high value individual and we’re all betas. Now to match his post length with some AI drivel: Ah...

I don't actually remember saying you were self employed because you are a horrible person.

No I pointed out you wouldn’t get the old 1s in. You failed to read and acknowledge somebody was trying to help, then treated me as you have always. I am pretty glad now I forgot to include the part numbers and sizes to my post after your...

To late mate you will elbows deep before you even get to that point. J

I have asked for details of where this ratio came from, you gave me garbage from a google search. I have said that it seems they could possibly be interchangeable, with risk of some minor changes, drive shafts. I have given you my thoughts on tc...

Only with the ones made in the EU by Conti I think, but yes, unless you buy from the states it could be problematical.

I wouldn't touch Arnott 2. Had manufacturing issues recently. Arnott 3 are good but not worth the expense. Dunlops are best bet.
