Just found this, o ring must have got trapped and ripped Ive found one ripped and two more crushed.

That's sound like a plan , not to worry I asked it really nicely with a hammer and it's now off

That's usually the stud turning in the plastic housing. I replaced one with an allen bolt, so I can hold it from underneath while tightening the nut.

Bollocks😭, and to make this even better , one of the threads on the air compressor mountings have stripped so now I can't get the compressor out.😅

eer yes, lots of it. Without the spring, the compressor will be all that's holding air in the bags !!

They should sit on the slightly larger section of the tube, resting against the flange. Then make sure they seat into the recess in the valve body top half. Stem should seat like this (not my fingers. They are PaulP38's)

Why would you be thinking of replacing the solenoids? If leaking it will only be the O rings. Are you talking about the coils or the actual valves?

Most likely it's one of the two o-rings on the bottom of the valve, or the thin o-ring around the plunger body. i.e. one of these three :

I stopped having it a long while back as I was always ill afterwards. This proved to be a link to my Guillain - Barre syndrome

Thousands of deaths and injury caused by the jab.

While waiting for the new starter motor, and hex bits to remove the old one, I did some budget controllong excersice. Long story short, no more parts purchases in September, like none. Only car related expenses in that period of time, all...

Get well soon lad. That land-rover ain't fixing itself 😝

Thanks for the kind words, lads.

Yeah, I was sceptical about the covid jab but now I feel certain it has something to do with this.

All the best. Get well soon 👍

Hope you are OK, had the Covid vaccine lately? It seems to be one of the causes of blood clots.

I'm taking it to the garage today. I could have done the job myself but I've just been in the ICU in hospital with a blood clot on the lungs (which is still there) So I can't be arsed to do it myself.🤪

THe Golden Girl has gone through battery issues a lot. Which our local recovery guy ( we only have one guy who covers AA, RAC, GREEN FLAG, et al) has attended marvellously. However she is not a patch on the Disco I had. I was still in...

Used the AA more than once, never for the old lady! But then it is quite hard to kill MTs!

Thought about taking her on a road trip to pick up a long term donor. Sadly, it's not worth the trip. If even the interior had been the right colour I may have been more inclined.

Well that's jinxed it

Ah well, that's what the AA is for 😁

I 'should' check mine too. Butttttt with all the stuff I carry in the boot, it can wait 😁

Can you tell them that monsterhome is too far gone to ever go on the road again? Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏 🤣

ok.. so @Datatek … you were spot on, the separate solenoids on the struts didn’t start until 2010, so my 2005 doesn’t have them 👌

Hi Guys . Moved on a bit further with trying to sort the unreliable starting . I bought a new Camshaft Sensor three days ago and I have been trying the starting at least five times a day and so far all is good . Once again thanks to everyone for...

Didn't put my mind on the subject but for some reason.it was either a marriage proposal or simply ignore it

Just remind me please, has the pump been replaced as this one sounds a bit worn.. 🤔

The host could make an exception for a well-known upstanding member of LZ 😉
