Ok on my road trip to London today, no warning just yellow light comes up on the dashboard a little tone and the warning normal ride height only suspension fault.

Now I've read the faults and fixes so I'm hoping it's the compressor cap that's cracked. So is it best to just change the cap and o ring, or a complete kit with new filters and drying granuals.

So either

Or

I have just had the same light on, and a noisy compressor sound.

So taking a punt on the DIY refurb vs new unit. The kit I have opted for £69

Contains the piston ring sets, if your taking it off might as well hedge overhaul the unit.
Don't forget captive nuts, probably rusted. £4

50/50 chance I am told the pipes don't come out the compressor so need cutting off, thats another £30 kit,

Just a quick one though if I remove the cap will my suspension drop if it's set at off road height?

Found out, nope it won't due to inline 1 way valves.

Wow that was quick ordered the rebuild kit from x8r at 11am yesterday and kit arrived this morning, also ordered the replacement captive nuts rom eBay and they are now in my possession. Just got to wait for my jack now...

Please ensure it's a good jack and use axle stands to, don't rely on the jack on its own. The jack must be a minimum 3 Ton capability one to lift vehicle safely. Use the blocks each side of wheel other corner to ensure it won't roll (normally part of tool kit in boot section under floor.)  John

Well jack arrived today, and so I set to work removing the compressor, I persevered and removed all the airlines with out the need to cut and add connectors, just took a wee bit of wd40 and patience. Fitted the replacement filters, granuals and cap easily but trying to match up the o rings, all I can guess is I got sent the wrong ones as not one matched! They were either too big too small or to thin! So I ended up just replacing the piston seal liner and chamber gasket, and gave up with o rings. I did try contacting them but with time not on my side I just had to get it back together and on the car.

Hi guys,

can you please PM with the link on where to get this. Think my suspension has given way this morning. The rear back suspension lowered as i was driving with the warning suspension lights coming on....now the rear back suspension will not raise. The front ones looks to be in the normal position but looks like the compressor is dead is its not working when i press normal/lower/off-road mode.

I've used one of those icarsoft LR II diagnostic tools and got this showing

C1A20
Pressure increases too slow when filling reservoir

Found similar repair kit but the guy no longer sells them.

when the suspension fails can you safely drive home with the cat so low

Hi steve,

I didn't want to risk it Luckily I was looking for parking in an off-street. So I just parked it and called AA to come and recover with a flatbed truck back home.

It surely can drive but I could feel it dragging at the back and something was wrong.....that was how i got to know about the rear lowered down.

Hi, just got your pm and have sent the links from where I got the above kits, yours looks like far worse than mine, I just had the light come on, first I would get someone to try raise and lower it and you listen to hear if your compressor is actually working, if not check fuses etc otherwise it then may be a case of a new or replacement motor or complete unit. If it is working, then ide follow the pipes incase one has split, again it's a case for listening for air leaks or use a high soapy solution and mist it over the pipes, any leaks will cause bubbles.
May be easier to remove the cover of the air compressor to see and be able to hear better.
