    Has anyone replaced suspension compressor themself?

    I just picked up a lightly used compressor (LR015303) on eBay for $1.25. Really, the word "compressor" was misspelled in the title so no one saw it or bid on it. Anyway, I really don't need one YET but it makes sense to have a back up since I plan on keeping the truck for the long haul. I was...

    Air suspension compressor motor innards

    I'm wondering, for those who have had the compressor replaced, if changing the valve-block was included and is that the recommended procedure? Also, what would be your interpretation of the compressor running too often for say the typical suburban roving LR3 where the height is not adjusted...

    Air suspension compressor motor innards

    Great shots, thanks for posting. I love taking stuff like this apart as well to see how it works, what I can fix, what can be salavaged, etc. I wasn't really in the market but I just bought a good used compressor off eBay for almost nothing (literally). You indicated the motor burnt out, is...

    Brake Change

    Amazon shows the fronts (EUR1098) in stock right now. I just ordered mine a few days ago. The free shipping is usually about a week for me but they do have expedited shipping available. Amazon.com: Akebono EUR1098 EURO Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pad Set: Automotive

    Akebono Ceramics - What's Included?

    Getting ready to order some Akebono Ceramic pads front (EUR1098) and rear (EUR1099). Found the fronts on Amazon for $68 w/free shipping. The rears at Auto Parts Warehouse for $73 w/free shipping. Seems pretty good. For those who have these pads, did they come with all of the hardware such as...

    Agreed. Service guidelines frequently specify disconnecting battery for many procedures. I seriously doubt the shops do it.

    Anybody know where this part might be available online? I've checked the usuals like Atlantic British, BPUtah and a few others. By the way, the actual part is referred to as the "Plenum Chamber Panel".

    smashed mirror

    The glass only (heated) is available at the dealer and various other sources online. I replaced one about 6 months ago which cost me around $70. The heating element in the glass just plugs in to a wire connector inside the mirror housing. Easy DIY. I've seen them on eBay for $60 - $75...

    TPMS threshold PSI question

    I had a slow leak in one of my Goodyear HP's for about six months before replacing the set a few weeks ago (Toyo Open Country's). My TPMS warning light came on consistently at around 36-38 psi. I imagine there is an actual setting for this.

    Consider this when looking for a used LR3

    Maybe the vehicle never had any kinks. Really, most of them don't. I just had a set of Toyo's put on last week. So far I love them. Slightly harder than the Goodyears but much quieter. I am optomistic about getting 50K+ out of them.
