Suspension Fault
My compressor died late last year, also due to the motor burning out. I posted some pics here: http://forums.landroverworld.org/showthread.php?t=19868 It did cross my mind to see if I could just replace the motor, but I couldn't figure out a way to detach the motor from the rest of the body... -

Suspension Fault
Somebody needs to make a bulletproof compressor like that for the LR3 air suspension! My refrigerator compressor is still running after 10 years of daily cycling. Wish the same would be true for the suspension compressor. :frown: From what I've read, the air springs are typically at about 130... -

Suspension Fault
This company makes a product that does exactly what you are describing. http://www.opcionesavanzadas.com/faskiting.htm Each air spring has one line that allows air to go in or out. The Faskit unit splices into each of the four air spring lines. Using switches on their unit, you can then... -

Suspension Fault
Yes, pulling the correct suspension fuses will keep the vehicle from raising or lowering by itself. The fuses are F3E and F26E, both in the engine compartment, and also F35P in the passenger compartment. I got this info again from bbyer's posts on disco3. You'll get a suspension fault warning... -

Suspension Fault
I've seen Mr. Glasscock's post about the Ford compressor, but did he actually put one in? It wasn't clear if he was just speculating about it or if he actually did install the Ford compressor. What sort of faults accumulate without the temperature sensor? I know that the LR3 monitors the... -

Suspension Fault
Definitely remove the compressor cover and do a visual and smell inspection. As mentioned above, the cover is under the vehicle by the driver's side rear door. You'll need a socket wrench to remove a couple of the screws and the rest is held in place by some tabs. Nothing overly complicated, but... -

Which code reader to buy?
Yes, the Faultmate is more than $500 cheaper; I purchased an MSV2 a few months ago. The Atlantic British one looks like a rebadged Faultmate to me, which makes me wonder why the big markup in price. One seeming difference is that the AB reader is for multi-vehicle use, whereas the BBS is single... -

Which code reader to buy?
Here is the link for the new Atlantic British code reader: http://www.RoverParts.com/Parts/3000LR.cfm I'm very curious how it compares to the Faultmate MSV2. -

4 wheel alignment
Here are a couple of alignment related pdf's for the LR3, courtesy of the folks at disco3. The first is for the actual alignment procedure, while the other two are for the front and rear alignment tolerances. -

Indy Service Question
On the britishpacific page, they have a few shops listed that are in the LA area. I haven't been to any of them, but it looks like they are all computer equipped, which is a must for working on the LR3. -

Dash Crack
I recall reading about the exact same issue a while back, but I don't remember which forum it was on. -

Which code reader to buy?
I just got the latest Atlantic British catalog today. They are selling their own code reader. It looks like it can do programming as well. Price was pretty steep, close to $2k. It's more of a square shaped device, unlike the rectangular Faultmate, but the text in the display makes me think it is... -

Online Land Rover parts
I've had positive experiences ordering from bputah and parts.com. They both sell oem parts, with the ones for parts.com actually coming from a LR dealer in Florida. -

Problems With the LR3
If you 3 is still under warranty, I would take it in. If not, I would just keep a close eye (and ear) on it. -

Problems With the LR3
Strange that all four corners of the car had dropped even though only one air spring is leaking. Maybe the vehicle is self-leveling and the only way to compensate for the one lowered corner is to drop the other three corners. Take it to the dealer or try fixing it yourself. Use your ears to try... -

Help! all SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED!!
I vaguely recall reading a similar story from a guy in one of the Middle Eastern countries. He was out in the desert cresting a dune and the airbags went off. I'm not sure which forum it was on or what the outcome was. I'll have to do some digging around tomorrow. -

Problems With the LR3
motz, apparently that is the air spring leaking. Was the car lower on that corner when you checked it in the morning? -

HDC + Parking Brake + No Speedometer
I've had the non-functioning speedometer/odometer in the past. It was always part of a greater system fault with the accompanying dash lights. I remember driving on the freeway and wondering what to say if I got pulled over and the officer asked "do you know how fast you were driving?" I could... -

What's the worst that can happen?
Regarding what Team Jeff said about modifying the airbags to take air from another compressor, a company called Faskit makes a system specifically for the LR3. Here is a link to their webpage. http://www.opcionesavanzadas.com/indexing.htm You basically have the ability to fill up any of... -

Air Pressure
I recall reading an interesting way to determine the proper pressure for tires. It involved using a piece of chalk or crayon to draw a line across the tread of the tire, parallel to the axle. You then drove around for a bit and examined the line you had drawn. If the line was worn away more on... -

'06 LR3 Rear suspension lowers overnight
Team Jeff's suggestion is a good one. Here is a link to what the air valve looks like. http://www.roverlandparts.com/2006-2008-range-rover-air-suspension-valve-block-sport-1.aspx The one for the rear can be seen from the wheelwell, even more so when in off-road height. The fuses you need to... -

'06 LR3 Rear suspension lowers overnight
The fact that both sides (driver and passenger) of the rear are lowering probably means it is not bad height sensors or leaky cans. It is most likely something upstream. Perhaps the rear valve block? -

Front lower than rear
A few months ago I noticed that the front of my LR3 is lower than the rear. There is about a 1.25" height difference. I got that number by measuring from the wheel center up to the bottom of the plastic wheel arch on all four tires. I recently changed my suspension compressor. I thought the... -

Air suspension compressor motor innards
I'm not sure what the #1 cause of compressor failure is. I've read on other forums about an instance where somebody had a broken connecting rod and another person had something a screw come loose in the piston area. That being said, I don't think the piston is permanently lubricated; you can...
