Air Suspension TD5
thermidorthelobster:
Actually, it did cross my mind, the cheapest way to solve the problem would be to take an angle grinder to the front springs. Chromed tailpipe and you're there.
DIE BOK:
Thank's gents............ but it is the compressor,power to the unit but no life. Think i'll rip it all out and put some springs in.........I have heard it is a common fault on all TD5's and Range Rovers.......
thermidorthelobster:
It's common on P38s, but they have a relatively complex EAS system. The TD5 system is a bit more straightforward, and you've been quite unlucky to have a faulty pump.
The air intake in the pump is routed up to the rear quarter post. I've heard of the intake tube coming adrift, meaning the pump sucks in mud - could this have happened to yours?
Personally if I were you I'd get another pump off Brookwells (I think they're about £150) and stick with the air, but springs would be a cheap and permanent solution.
You could also dismantle the pump and see if it's something curable.
DIE BOK:
It does not know what mud looks like, so no chance of that :lol: got more chance of getting a few bugs in it than mud................but can wait to test it out though :D
