@@alexfixty I lowered my range rover a little after replacing air shock. I waited 10 minutes with car on.. then i lowered it slowly again. Then I waited again, then I lowered it all the way slow. I heard a soft air pop sound.. That bad?
I love working on my car and save lot of money just like this guy. It's funny that most of car repairs are very simple you can find everything on Internet how to do it and as you can see in this video can get done on car park with basic tools. But garage's will tell you that it's a big job and you need special tools 😆 they have all those special tools just to make it even easier for them 😉 get job done in 15 minutes or less and charge 3 hours or more. That's the reality
@LandRoverTech what do you think about range rover sport L494 3.0 diesel 306bhp? Are the engines really that bad as I read on Internet? I'm thinking of buying one but if it has all those engine problems common there's no point. I need some advice from someone like you that know the land rover well. Thanks
Thanks! Great to see someone that actually works on their own car! I can tell from your well used Ryobi impact! Very underrated tool. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for creating this video. I removed both my struts in about half an hour thanks to your clear instructions. Although initially an intimidating replacement, it turns out to be quite a simple undertaking.
This is an excellent video! I have replaced these on my L322, I now feel confident I can also do them on the L405. The only thing I would like to see is the torque specs for the bolts, although a quarter turn past tight AF usually works. Great job!
Great video as always. One thing I’d call out is when using impact tool to loose high torque bolts/nuts, always use the impact on the nut side. Don’t make mistake like mine broken the bolt head using the power tool.
Thank you very much! You just saved me 1K. Dealer wants $1600 (8h) in labor for the front height sensors and and Air Struts replacement. I knew it is simple, but did not know it is that simple... Somehow they say i'd need alignment too... :) . Thanks again! BTW, do you know if after replacing height sensors it needs to be programmed?
Is the little black plug on the top of the strut with the red end the easiest way to determine if it has continuously variable damping? Having had a hard time looking online trying to determine a simple way to know if mine has it. 2016 HSE 3.0V6
You are awesome. Thank you! Thank you! Love your videos bro! You have motivated me to do my own instead of paying thousands. Did you do a brake flush video or recommend anything with the brake fluid dot 4 when doing brakes/rotors?
Hi there Congrats for the great job you've done Can I ask you to make a video for replacing the rear air suspension for the same car? And thanks for advance.
Alex, I replaced both air struts, and now they both lose all the air overnight. Before the left side would lose most of the air and the right side all of it; I followed your video, except I might have scratched the compressor coupling; what do you recommend?
Awesome vid…i have a question. I have a 2014 RRS i hear a knocking sound and it says i have a faulty air suspension but when I turn off then turn on the car it goes away but comes back on. What do you think it is? ThankQ hope to hear from you
Hi, I would like to replace the air suspension. I exchanged the genuine bwi product for an arnott product. change in ride comfort Can't you feel the change in durability?
Nice guide but releasing the air line to the spring like you did can damage the valve blocks. It’s recommended to use the cars computer to release the air pressure or you can slowly let out the air by loosening a nut on the valve block for the front and back.
Thanks for these great videos bro! I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2017 supercharged v8 L405 with 35,000 miles. Your videos will be super helpful!! I have a question, how do can I know if my Rover has option of the continuous variable damping?
Hi, have you resolved this issue you had? My 2015 l494 is also have the same issue, i have replaced the lower control arms like the ones he did on one of his videos but its still doing the same thing
Hi Alex, thank you for all your informative videos, if I may ask if i can charge my L405 2019 V6 supercharged battery (without disconnecting it from the car) and just by connecting a trickle charger at the jump start connectors under the hood
My range rover l405 has really stiff suspenstion even i had replaced everything , could you help me? No electric fault , all new suspention and arm bushings but it drive really bad through the bumps
Hi, my rover is lower on driver side about couple inches, still rides good no lights on whatsoever, would that be a strut replacement or what do you suggest? Thanks
Mine Did same thing. Strut is leaking. Buy both new from CAR ID, for $900 to your door. I paid 475 for labor but you can do it as easy also. Will not put code until completely junked. You might damage compressor if left unchecked due to it running extra. Arnott is the brand I used, Range is like brand new now
Author, as you seen to know a lot can you share the expected labor on a front right suspension dropping. Will I need a condenser or strut alone? I am in California. What’s the labor, parts for strut appears to be 560. Is a RR tool needed to reset and recalibrate? My car always reads the down arrow on the suspension in orange. I feel I should be able to raise it. I must be vague as I am new to rover world. Rear right is also falling. Means I need replacement as well? It has 77K miles on it.
I would recommend starting with a diagnosis to see the codes. Then inspect air lines and connection with soapy water 🤙 I didn’t have to reset anything after replacing that struts. If you didn’t mess up anything you don’t have to calibrate it.
@@alexfixty you were very helpful. I had an arrnot right strut changed and it fixed the leak. No more hissing sound from the top. Will know Ofer night if it’s truly fixed. Can you confirm if it should get an alignment after the new strut? No point changing other if it’s not gone bad as yet?
Anyway to donate to your channel? Also going to buy a used RR should I go gas or diesel. I am in NV and the diesel RR prices from CA are really dropping.
im thinking of buying a range rover sport se 3.0 diesel with 95k miles on it $38k no warranty ,,,,is this a good idea? or run for the hills ????? thanks G.P
