Hi
Has anybody done a diy replacement of the suspension compressor and if so how easy is it? I know it will have to go to the stealers to reset the fault codes but as I'm well out of warranty I'm thinking of done the job myself.
Any thoughts welcomed.

Mine is in at the moment. Took a week for Landrover to locate a spare unit.
Dealer said it was not a long job - couple of hours.
But they have given me a loan car from sat to Tuesday.
Good luck ----------------------------

You may need to depressurise first. You could try removing the tank bung slowly.

Yes, it is, now called IDS.
You can depressurise the tank by slowly undoing the air tank bung. It has a flattened side to let the air out.
Do slowly and ensure all the air is out before removing the bung. as the tank is at 244psi! “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
