Yet another EAS Fiasco
A long time indeed cmb6s. I've replaced front left and rear right air struts, and the compressor which has literally been used only for one day, today. All $$££ (aided by my parents who now feel proper HATE for Land Rover) out of my pocket. Anyhow, so this is what happened today: The only code...- BearishDriver

Yet another EAS Fiasco
So I changed my air compressor and replaced it with a brand new factory sealed AMK and still the rear right strut goes down after some time, yes it now goes down slower but still noticable within less than 2 hours. WTF is going on?? dealer said it was the compressor, indies said it was the...- BearishDriver

Gosh I can only imagine that was a VERY bumpy ride, glad your LR3 made it in one piece! hahaha speaking of bumpy rides: tomorrow I will actually go pick up my new AMK to the border with Texas! a bit of a dangerous ride but all should be fine...- BearishDriver

I too want a Defender so badly!!! I'll be buying one ASAP. Anyhow you should watch out for the suspension mainly (check if the compressor is the hitachi rubbish or the new AMK) and also check the coolant system, the plastic where the temperature sensor is, tends to leak. You can also check the...- BearishDriver

When I was in the market for a 4x4 I narrowed it down to either a wrangler, a fj cruiser or the LR3, I chose the LR3 because I do use it quite a load in the city, otherwise I'd probably be the owner of an fj cruiser. I tested and found the LR3 more comfortable to drive in the city (more posh as...- BearishDriver

hahaha allow me to restate then: I don't want to keep asking for thousands of dollars from my parents, they cannot care less about the (from their perspective) insignificant amount of money the Landy needs but I feel VERY uncomfortable with it. Besides my father keeps mocking LR every time I...- BearishDriver

Suspension is down down as low as it can possibly be and the compressor is dead, I may be able to but as Houm says, if it feels bad it is bad. besides I don't need to drive it I have another car. Just wanted to spare the breakdown lorry but well, this is a breakdown so I guess it's alright...- BearishDriver

Oh hahaha yah I will eventually buy one, but as I finished uni a bit under 2 months ago I don't really want to spend in anything that's not compulsory as you may imagine a freshly graduated's pocket is not particularly deep hahahah. The compressor swap is expensive enough not to mention service...- BearishDriver

It seems like he is aware of it bc when he mailed me the budget it said "labour hours and programming...$$$" So I am guessing he knows that reprogramming the ECU is necessary, I will of course mention it. I only take my LR to his shop because he has a load of high end cars including Range...- BearishDriver

nah thank you tlt I guess I'll just call the breakdown lorry when the compressor arrives. I am in Mexico jwest, an IIDtool would take as much time to arrive, I guess I'll just leave the LR3 parked until the new AMK is installed.- BearishDriver

I've got the hitachi right now and will change for the AMK, either that one on the ebay or some like lucky8 etc. The mechanic said he would get the AMK and update the ECU etc. for a reasonable price, I am annoyed because now my compressor doesn't even run and it was supposed to have the new AMK...- BearishDriver

The guy did not even order the compressor!!!! 3 weeks after he said he'd get it he went on vacations and then came back and told me that he hasn't ordered it yet. I think him making me lose one bloody MONTH is a pretty good reason, not to mention he's tried to mislead me into unnecessary stuff...- BearishDriver

I've been waiting for the AMK compressor for 3 weeks now and the indy says that tomorrow he'll have a precise DATE!!! absolute scum, but to be fair I've never met a mechanic that isn't (at least not in Mexico or England) Anyhow, my question is: Can I jump start the compressor? my old one...- BearishDriver

Where's my water?
I only use the front one as I never drive with more than one passenger. Thanks tlt yah I know where it is supposed to drain, I'm just concerned that I don't see any water coming out of it and was wondering if it is going anywhere other than the floor mat. I rarely drive for more than 15 or 20...- BearishDriver

Where's my water?
I try not to use the A/C but summer here is around 100+ farenheit so I of course use it a load from may-september, but I have noticed the water that is supposed to drain from the A/C is not draining. Both passenger and driver floor are dry, I unclogged the AC drains a bit under a year ago so I...- BearishDriver

Matte finish wrap or Line-X?
yah it looks well utilitarian but I think linexing (can that be a word hahahah?) the whole vehicle is a bit over the top, I'd line-x perhaps the wings, bumpers, mirrors and the likes while matting out the rest, that would be more practical. Or like this defender: only the lower edges...- BearishDriver

Matte finish wrap or Line-X?
I think line-x is far tougher but I have no experience with neither... you may consider Plastidip as well As for the looks, I think line-x's texture makes the car look super bizarre tbh- BearishDriver
