For £150.00 that will be a crap Chinese copy that won't last as long as it took to fit it. Pay the extra and buy a decent one.

Have a look under your car to check. My 2010 had a Hitachi and I replaced it with a Dunlop compressor as it's a straight swap.

Also, before going out and buying a new compressor, you may want to consider checking and servicing the exhaust valve on your compressor first |

I believe LR intially changed from Hitachi to AMK because there was a sourcing issue as a direct result of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster in Japan in 2011.

Well done for fitting and saving yourself a fortune. That does sound like a long time. Remember it may do this if you have raised the vehicle a few times over a short period. You need to give the compressor a bit of time to refill the air reservoir. Kev

You seem to have all the answers. That was the case as I pressed it a few times in a short period when testing. After leaving it for a few hours it works instantly now. I just need to adjust by brain to not expect to hear the error message "ding" when lowering the suspension.
