In episode five I replace the front air struts on our 2006 Land Rover LR3 (the procedure for each side is the same). I also demonstrate how to calibrate the suspension using the GAP IID tool.

I also like that fact that you point out any differences from comments made on previous videos. We are all here to learn and the fact that you bring this up is truly great. I'm currently working on the front end of my LR3, having an issue with the front end being super slow to raise. I've already replaced the compressor and changed the o-rings in the front and center valve blocks. Need to check struts next. I really like the quick jack you are using. I'll check in your description if you have that product linked. If not, can you or someone please let me know where to purchase this. Subscribed! Please keep the great LR3 content rolling

Hi, many thanks for the very kind words , really pleased it helped , indeed as mentioned to disable the suspension just need to pull the F26 fuse , great the new struts came with the brass Voss connectors as on there own there around $14 bucks , personally I replaced all mine with brass push fits as they were a lot cheaper along with being easier of just pushing them in without messing around trying to get a spanner to tighten the Voss connectors . When I done mine several years ago I did find the ride quality was better . Plus finding out that when the suspension is in off road height and u get bottomed out whilst driving off road the vehicle will give u the option of raising it to extended off road height and then plus extended off road height , awesome lift by the way , happy motoring and u have a wonderful safe trip , many thanks for sharing this video with us , looking forward to the next video , ps , hope it was ok but posted ur video on landyzone and the discovery 3 forum , hopefully will then get some more views

F26 is the EAS fuse. The brass fittings are called VOSS connectors. Look after them, they sell for about £10each. For the 15mm top nuts, a swivel head ratchet spanner does the job on all 3 nuts. Always do the overnight test at the height at which it sinks overnight. Fully raised often seals the split in the rubber air spring and you learn nothing, this of course depends on where the actual leak is, but its usually up inside that aluminium can where the rubber folds in on itself.

Great video. Good tips on removing and reinstalling the airline in to the strut. For those watching who have a diesel variant (not in North America I know) the third strut nut is not as accessible from the engine bay as it is in the V8. I had to break it and remove it from the wheel arch. I now have to do the same job on my V8 so looking forward to the easier access this time.

Its always best to put the new voss connector nut and collet onto the green pipe before you connect it back onto the strut . When the connector is then inserted into the strut and you tighten the voss connector the brass collett tightens its grip on the pipe giving you a proper airtight seal . Also you don't then need the pliers . Voss connectors do not work the same as push fit as you cannot get passed the collet once it is tightened . hope this makes sense and good channel Mike .

Mike, this is a little long but I needed to explain so you could see where I'm coming from. I used your guide and a couple other videos to properly educate myself. One incongruity was oxmanagain saying you feed the VOSS connector and compression ring onto the line first, then seat the fitting into the strut and tighten down. I tried the push-connect method on the rear strut and found it almost impossible (though I realize it is the correct method) so I threaded all connectors on the line first and that definitely worked. That sets the stage for my question. Unlike the rear, there was a huge space deficit on both front sides, mostly due to the heat shields and long strut posts. The welded bracket that holds the strut also is thick enough where I seemed to need a very thin wrench (which I didn't have) to finish snugging up the brass air connector from above the bracket. I felt it was near impossible to tighten the brass VOSS connector below the bracket due to the three posts, so I did it all from above once the posts were tightened down fully. I noticed you didn't include the tightening of the air line in your video and neither did oxmanagain. My main concern is not getting that air line tightened enough to prevent leakage. I would say both are snug, the air line "bulge" is about two quarter widths from the top of the connector, and firmly tugging on the line I cannot remove it. Do I call it good?

My questions is on the passenger side front strut and the 3 top bolts holding the strut in place. The 2 front nuts were easy but the last nut was a bugger to remove. Any tricks on installation on the 3rd nut?? Thank, Pete

Hello, I am hoping some one can let me know what I missed on my 2013 RRS. After Completing a brake job including rebuilt calipers and bleeding the system, added 2.5" Johnson Lift rods, and replaced the Front Struts/Shocks. In the process of about 2 weeks sitting on my lift I finally had everything finished and was ready to restart the systems. I used my TOPDON ArtiDiag 800BT to evacuate the air in the tank and struts prior to removing airlines, and when I tried to reset the Suspension Level Calibration process which re-pressurizes the tank and struts and establishes where the vehicle is siting relative to established heights, couldn't finish because the vehicle wouldn't start. I ran a diagnostics looking for any DTCs or other systems problems and everything was good, other than the systems that required power and air pressure. Okay, long story short I need the engine started in order to start this process and the battery was dead. I recharged the battery and getting 13.6 volts and nothing. I disconnected the battery hoping to reset the system and nothing. The last time I tried to start it the dash indicators lights come on and look ready to start, nothing... I'm not sure why it wont start, am I missing something?? Thanks for any pointers Pete

If you must use rods ( hint: don't), calibrate before you fit them. The GAP IID tool will give you a selectable 4 inch lift which switches with just a few pushes on the GAP interface. and it is infinitely variable and has 3 user programmable memories. The IID may be expensive, but it worth the money for the suspension control alone.

Is it necessary to remove the brass fitting and then put it back to remove the shipping plug like you did at 12:54; or can you leave the brass fitting in place the way it arrived on the strut and just remove the shipping plug directly (without having to unscrew the brass fitting)?

No you can just remove the shipping plug.

Yes. In the video I show how far down to seat the air line.

The link for the GAP ID tool is in the description of every video I’ve used it in. You must use some mobile device with their app.

hi waffle, I have a quick question about the LR3 if you don't mind. Does the 05 and 06 model have a different trans than 07-09? trying to figure out which one is the best to buy. thanks

All the automatic gearboxes on all L319 LR3 and Disco 3 04 -09 are basically the same 6HP26. The Disco 4 also had a 6 speed ZF until MY2012 when it got an 8 speed, but while a D4 6 speed will fit in a D3, it won't work in a D3, and vice versa as it speaks a different electronic language.

I have the icarsoft and unfortunately it does not have as many of the functions of the gap tool - the gap tool is the only one apart from the super Dooper(££££££) dealer tool that has the calibration facility and the ability to programme new keys to the car .

Yes I did look into the icarsoft function for this dilemma and it’s not able to do it. In Fairness I done my wishbone a few weeks back (tricky), I did get to use it to deflate the system but now I have an imbalance 🙏30 mm out on one side.
