As the weather is warming up I thought id look at getting the AC Regassed. As everything the price has gone up, £90 now, was £50 last year! So Halfords. AC Pro kit, leak seal & AC cleaner for less than £100 does 3 cars. So much better value and no ballache of booking it in.

So quick look over to check the suspension has all settled... It was fine on Sunday i swear 🤣 Sadly my favourite company GORE no longer trade and Pioneer4x4 have a silly lead time. So in a very unlike me move OEM it is. £147 later. Utterly ridiculous for some awful cast ali!? The GORE...

Busy boy! Need to do my rear calipers and discs at some point soon but not very soon 🤣

Nothing tricky about it, though could be worth getting a new slave cylinder if you havnt recently. Be very careful not to pull the pushrod out.

Some comparison pics Exact same springs and dampers. CSW DCPU Standard CSW

Forgot I did these! Stainless door threshes, designed, cut and folded by yours truly. If anyone would like a set more than happy to do a run, be cheaper than anyone else online. Can even provide fixings. 2mm brushed stainless, secured with carraige bolts using the original fixing holes.

Busy day. Dampers, springs, turrets, retainers, spring clamps all fitted! When shockingly 😅 smoothly. All done in about 6 hours. Serviced it as well. Shock turrets drawn, laser cut, CNC bent and Mig welded by me :D Also fitted the RRC spring isolators on the front and the rubber wrap...

Ok. Not had a compressor overheat message at all like you normally would. Wonder if its one of the airlines split somewhere. Also if there was a leak would the whole thing sit flat or would that explain why the front was always at ride heigh but the rear was sagging?

Tbf didnt know I could do that! One thing to check though. Thank you! Ill have a look! Cheers

Ok. Thing is I changed the front bags, didnt have an issue. Dad sent it to a local garage for the rears, once replaced it didn't level off. For clarification the compressor isnt running constantly. It fills the bags after a couple mins then stops. Doesnt kick back in, at least for an hour...

Its my dads RR currently not with it, but will be tomorrow. Last I saw it, it was fully deflated but would raise to normal height when started. Cant hear any leaks and the compressor doesnt keep running after its inflated. Which is what made me think its a calibration issue and has lost is...

Front bags replaced a couple years ago and inflate properly, not leaking afaik. Rear bags replaced last year. After replacing always sat back on its ass but would always inflate when the cars started. Now it is says "fault do not exceed 30mph" I take it it needs to be calibrated? Can anyone...

Tbf hadnt noticed the diff plug but it does look lower so.will look again tomorrow 😅 It is a little wider and sticks out a little further and more of a dome shape rather than the pressed one from LR. So I expect it will actually hold a little more oil! Ill measure when I fill it up. Funnily...

Think some military axles had thicker pans and heavy trussing but rather rare. Thanks 😊 Partly for my own records partly as a thank you to the community. Spending countless hours reading threads in the past trying to find solutions to odd problems! Welded 😁

Mega exciting pics here 😅😅 Old pans off. Axles begun cleaning. Forgot a few pics but the HD weld on pan isnt quite as straight forward as its made out to be! Given the original is circular and the new is a sort of hexagon shape, tricky to line up correctly. So much so I found the right hard...

DIY Diff Pan arrived from Gwyn! Welded up, cleaned off. Ready for the axle case which arrived today!

🤣🤣 moving soon anyway 😅

Ive also found myself a TD5 axle tube for not alot of money. So instead of painfully trying to remove the 9 rounded and rusted bolts off my swivels. Im going to build up a new axle! Gywn lewis HD Diff pan + making my own trusses because why not! Fit the built ATB diff i have plus new siwvel...

Repost because the last image gave too much away lol

Dampers are thiccc
