How to remove the air suspension compressor on Land Rover Discovery 3 LR3 / Range Rover Sport

[@MorrisBurch]

Your videos are so helpful! One of the many things I like is that you do not gloss over the difficult bits, eg seized bolts. Please keep it up! Thank you!

[@user-ys4kq2ys4u]

I used this video as a baseline. My lines didn’t stick within the air compressor. I actually let the compressor hang for a bit as I pulled on the larger hoses to get them out. The replacement took me about 3 hrs with a few breaks here and there. Thanks for the video.

[@L663]

glad it helped

[@antoniolovell667]

You guys are AWSOME there's not a lot of fixing stuff on LandRovers keep it up !!!!

[@tonywhitehead3327]

Another great video. I could not find the 3rd bracket to chassis bolt, ta. Until I had Range Rovers, i had believed consumable parts were, tyres, pads and zorst. But the RRS. “consumable” list keeps growing

[@L663]

Yes welcome to the world of Land Rover ownership !

Fantastic job dudes, my LR3 06 compressor just went out. You can't drive that car without it apparently, that's the most uncomfortable ride you'll ever experience.

[@jasonlesick9473]

You can drive it and yes it is the most uncomfortable ride ever mine just went out waiting for the new one in the mail

To release the 6mm hose, wipe the area, clear any grit from the ring with air pressure, spray a little penetrating oil on the hose where it meets the ring. Use a 10mm open end spanner to push the ring in and the hose should come straight out. If it does it, persuade it a little at a time (I found the top one came out after 8-10 cycles of spanner, pull, penetrant again, then repeat.

thanks for the tip !

[@fly101]

Thank you for this video!! Helps a lot!

[@navy826919]

Well done. I enjoyed the spider chase...

[@davidferry548]

Interesting , would like to have seen the gallery pressure read out on IID tool. Recent experience with this fault turned out to be a failing battery. This was followed a few months later by the vehicle being unable to hold gallery pressure this turned out to be a leaking Voss fitting in the air dryer ( the nice blue one) . Was able to get a second hand lid from wreckers and was able to swap it out while compressor still in vehicle, in fact it would have been possible to change desiccant and filters while still in vehicle tho I didn’t bother any who new old lid sorted issue now all good

[@ponytrishpip]

The difficult airline fittings I pushed on the plastic clip with side of a pair of needle nose pliers and then push pulled the air line and the pipe came away

[@COM70]

Perfect!!! Every detail I need for the job. Excellent !!!

[@anakinwinston7993]

[@SuperJesito]

great job guys .I have a 2006 landrover lr3 compressor just went out. hate to be a lowrider..

[@quienesroberto]

hola amigo, como lo reparaste? me acaba de pasar. hey friend how fix it?

[@keysersoze3866]

Thank you. Probably the most stupid design I have ever had to work on. Getting it out was awkward, putting it back in was almost imposible. And why is there so many wires somewhere so wet. You're video helped a lot.

[@joefisher9418]

Thanks for the video, it really helped me!

[@mitchelljosephthompson1ub444]

Hi guys, ive just purchased a new compressor, it says its a direct replacement on my 2005 range sport. Itn amk type, 2 pin, can you tell me if this is the correct one i need, as someone said i should check incase i need software reprogramming as its not hitachi brand. Do you know anything about it, find it a little confusing because ebay seller states its a direct replacement , "plug an play" . It looks the same too in the photos, so im not sure the difference now between hitachi and amk type. Other than price, which is why i chose amk type. Any help would be great. Cheers.

[@teslafanatic7441]

Hi Mate, I've got a RRS 2016 with a suspension fault now and then. Every replaced the air suspension compressor on a L494?

[@mrfairycake4333]

Whats the make of the axle stands you are using guys

[@ivannightly1919]

thanks so much great help

[@nagiboutros2165]

You Know that Black airline that you take out with the blue O ring do you have one for sale I cut mine ?

[@MrJaketempleman]

Hi there, another great video guys. I have a D4 2009 TDV 3.0 is it the same process ? Also do you need 4 axel stands ?

[@bugjuicer]

Where under the car is it?

[@laurentiugrigoras1659]

If the blue valve/connector is leaking can it be replaced?

[@L663]

Yes this part is available with the rear "canister" as a complete unit - LR PN VUB504700 for around £70 but its worth doing as it has all new drying crystals inside etc

[@smackledorfmcsween]

Does anyone know the routing of the lines?

[@johnberry9415]

I did my but the yellow light still🤔

[@josepichardo3503]

i have an LR3 06 land rover and my compressor is going out, what type of compressor do you recommend me buying because theirs so many brands online.

[@L663]

I would replace like with like - all the compressors seem to work fine for around 10 years so although they are a pain when they fail the dont do a bad job really.

[@Skeptic-Professor]

The spider is a false black widow which does bite and most people react like a bee sting.

[@MrBiggs_843]

Did replacing the compressor fix it

[@L663]

Yes it sure did !

[@peterbullen3347]

Hi team, do you have any opinion or thoughts on genuine OEM compressors V after market? I have overhauled my compressor in the past, dryer kit, orings etc. Eventually I replaced with aftermarket.. Worked great for 5 months and failed. I was given full refund as under warranty. Have now new OEM HITACHI FITTED and works fine.. So best to buy OEM or after market from reputable global reseller.?

[@drbreaks-gaming]

Hi, i need to replace the End Cap, Filters and Beads on the Air Dryer, can this job be done without the need of removing the whole Compressor unit? I am hoping i can just remove the screw which secures the Air Dryer and pop the unit off of the compressor. Please can anyone advise? Thank you

[@asder6606]

Hello everyone! I have Land Rover Discovery 3, 2007 year. I had a problem with air suspensions, first I got that yellow indicate " Suspension fault", after diagnostic I was informed that my compressor's valve block is broken, they advised to change compressor. I changed compressor my self, did everything by you-tube video, but the problem is that Error is still showing "Suspension fault" and compressor is not pumping up car. Idea is to take car to service, make new diagnostic and delete error, and than maybe its should work. Does anybody had similar situation or can advise what could be a problem.

[@s3hooligan]

I had the same issue… changed the compressor with no change only to find out that a relay had gone bad.

[@andyg8651]

out of interest did you disconnect the battery during removal,good job by the way

[@L663]

Hi - no we did not disconnect the battery - although its probably a good idea !

[@andyg8651]

Thanks for that you guys do some great vids

[@elchinshikhaliyev5270]

very slowly semover air suspension compressor :)

[@armandomata3479]

A few mistakes but other than that good job.

[@kansanbrit1]

Blind leading the blind. Not a 4mm allen, it's a torx!

[@bulldogcarparts3844]

size of those bad boys ! lol

[@MV7NV607]

I wanted a video of someone doing it properly, not hacksawing it off.

[@simonjefferson]

Sorry to disappoint !

[@trevorelgram2108]

Why can't you repair the compressor

[@L663]

You can - we have done videos on that

[@trevorelgram2108]

@@L663 thanks

[@samman8183]

Why would you cut the lines ? how are you going to salvage them .? I think they're for a reason .......

[@L663]

dont panic they are reconnected later in the video....

[@OneEyedJacker]

What an absurd location for the compressor. It should be located somewhere inside the vehicle.

[@L663]

I guess there area a couple of issues with that ... noise and cooling
