Final comments on my air compressor repair to close out the post. I went to Land Rover to replace the damaged air hose as discussed in my previous post. We had a tough time figuring out which hose it was from the air suspension diagrams. The Land Rover part guy and I finally determined which hose it was but the cost was almost $100 and since we were not 100% positive (part was special order and not returnable), I decided that I would double check the part number that was on the hose before I ordered. The Land Rover part guy also suggested that I try a local salvage yard to see if they would have the part. I contacted the salvage yard and they recommended that I try Fittings Inc in Seattle, WA. I took the damaged hose to the Fittings Inc and they ended up clipping the damaged end and put an inline connection with a small section of 6mm hose. The repair worked perfectly and the cost was less than a dollar and now my air suspension works and the fault has been cleared. The total cost of the repair was $162 and about a day of my time.
An interesting side note, the Land Rover sits about an inch higher in standard mode now after the repair. I am 6’2 and I was hitting my head on the canopy when open. Now that the suspension is repaired, I have about an inch of headroom.
Thanks for all your help and great advice.
