this video shows how to replace the suspension compressor air pump on a Land Rover Discovery 3 / LR3. LR023964. See below link for how to remove the compressor • How to remove the air ...
Having taken off my compressor a number of times I left the top bolt off the bracket as it was such a pain to get in with the compressor on the bracket. Just seen on a forum a neat solution. Cut a slot the width of the bolt stud on the bracket leave bolt located in nutsert on frame when replaci g or removing just slid out after loosening bolt. Really good idea.
RU-vid has just saved my $1200.00 by not buying expensive parts when my expensive parts were working. Fixed my 2005 LR3 suspension for $5.00.!!! Fuse dummy (me) Check the fuses and relays first !!!
This is exactly what I'll be doing this weekend on my, Bond 007 LR3 and hopefully wont have any programming issues, or issues at all with replacing a Hitachi with Hitachi pump. Thanks gents!
Hi Just repaired compressor and have your fixing kit, watched video on refit a number of times and have a question. The top cover needs to be in place first, do you fit bracket then compressor or do yo partially fit the compressor to the bracket then fit brack to car. That top bolt is very difficult to replace so easy way is to fit bracket first but how to you fix the top bolt to the compressor not much room left any guidance would be appreciated Terry Rensch
On the difficult top bolt of the mounting frame, an open ended slot would work well , I managed by using a modified extension universal and black electrical tape
Thx guys for a super video, helped a lot.. I have a question I get the fault C1A2064, pressure increase to slow when filling reservoir - result in normal height only, someone has suggested that I need to check the intake pipe/silencer, but I cannot find it on my RRS from 2006, can you help?
Bodged job fitting the two pipes at the back, you should have cut the pipe further back and used L shaped air fitting"s" would have made a much neater job.... Good video and thanks for sharing
@@L663 Really no need to do that There are a many of those air type connectors all shapes and sizes but tube must be straight and cut to enter the fitting correctly, my sprayer has uses 100 of those fittings
+J Mingo Hi - we have been working with a supplier a now have these available in metal.... the pipe and the connector rated at 15 bar - we will add to the website next week.
powerfulukltd Hi dear I have bought the fitting kit complete from your website! But I haven’t got the little white connectors!, I don’t know where i may find them as thy are necessary. Thank you
but: can you get the top bolt in when the top noise insulation (cover) is already there? you mentioned there's enough space, but while the cover wasn't there!
Christian Stenger exactly the same problem I have, if you refit the bracket with the top insulating cover on, it's impossible to tighten that top bolt in. And if you fit the compressor to the bracket before fitting the bracket back onto the chassis, it's then impossible to get at the top bracket bolt...... in fact I can't understand how they actually do this when they build the car in the first place !
Hi. i took my 2008 range rover sport to a shop because loud noise of air under pressure escaping from the air compressor located at the rear wheel. The plastic cover has a light crack but they say that it was enough to brake the line that comes out of the release valve. They say I need to replace the whole compressor. This compressor is new I just changed it 7 months ago after repairing the entire suspension system. Is there a way to fix it. how much longer will it last working. It works fine but makes a loud noise every time it releases the air pressure. I have no failure lights on and is working fine. do you have an email to send you the pics? thank you
I think you may be able to fix with on of our couplers ? but not sure with the limited details you have given here. www.powerfuluk.com/land-rover-discovery-3-air-suspension-connector-kit.html
powerfulukltd thank you for your reply. I posted the photos of the damaged compressor in this link www.landroverworld.org/threads/suspension-air-compressor-question.28842/page-2#post-173230
The part that is broken seems to be part of the "air dryer" that is on the side of the compressor. On the Hitachi compressor you can buy the air dryer assembly on its own from Land Rover but not on the AMK. There is one for sale on ebay though www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DISCOVERY-4-RANGE-ROVER-SPORT-AMK-SUSPENSION-COMPRESSOR-PUMP-DRYER-DRIER-/262799219373?hash=item3d300ddaad:g:et0AAOSwUKxYculk
Hi - No not really - its just tricky to get the pipe out of the old connectors on the compressor - so easy to just cut them - but then you are short on length !
@@L663 Hey, Im a little late. Do you need to use new fittings into the line to connect to the compressor? Or can I just simply attach the bare air line to the new compressor?
I'm waiting for a new pump to arrive, if it works at all for five minutes I'll be bloody amazed, and why in heavens name did they move it from the boot, they could have at least put in underneath, anywhere but jammed between the rail and the back wheel, OMG what a mess
Please provide detailed info on price for Hitachi compressor and the website to purchase those custom bolts/sizes/lock-nuts/lug-nut, etc. My Supercharged is having the same reduced output issue: "Suspension Fault - Normal Height Only" which clears when I shut-off and restart and then comes on again when compressor is filling/pressurizing too slowly... When the fault isn't on, the suspension seems fine although it sometimes rides rough d/t pressure issues... Please help! I need information where to purchase the bolts/fittings etc and I can also purchase a new Hitachi compressor and then have my local mechanic do the re-fitting/install. Please provide more info ASAP as my babe/pride is swaying and riding rough when it hits the slightest of bumps, which is embarrassing to say the least; thanks.
