Air Suspension TD5

<< < (2/2)

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
