Air lines are pretty robust! Were the ends sealed when the bags were originally removed? If not they could be full of dirt and muck!
I did a full hose, silencer etc replacement on mine. They're a pita to install the new ones laying on your back and trying to dislocate your arms to do all the hold down cable ties!! But I know there 100% now!!

I just put the filter in original location for now but will be relocating to/through the rear panel into just behind the rear bins in the back. Using a grommet and sealing etc.
Also the filter was clogged on mine so I used some super fine filter cloth rolled tight and stuffed in the enclosure.

No that would be way too easy[bigwhistle] but will get one next time i'm at the supplier! I think you need the whole line?? like this - RQB000540 | AIR SUSPENSION FILTER DISCO 11 | Land Rover | Discovery 2 - 1999 to 2004 | Britcar (UK) Ltd so I think thats why I used the filter mesh at $65 it wasn't cheap!!!
FYI - I ordered the full set of hoses from brit-car.co.uk RQM100012 | AIR SUSPENSION PIPE HARNESS DISCO11 | Land Rover | Discovery 2 - 1999 to 2004 | Britcar (UK) Ltd

Cheers Lemo

can you buy the filter foam itself anywhere, currently have a spare piece of vent foam which is not as dense as the original.

I haven't looked yet, can u open the filter & replace the foam or is it a throw out & replace item? $50 or so seems a bit pricey for a new filter & pipe

yes just pops open might try clark rubber

Cool. Ta

So I started my reinstall today. Here's a pic of the before & after of the air filter. I'm really glad I took the time to check it.

I'm definitely going to move the filter to inside the cabin, just not today.

I blew all the air lines out with compressed air. They all seem in good condition. Even the rubber O rings on the brass fittings seem ok. Connected up the compressor also. Only not sure which power connector goes for which of the 3 power plugs.

Lacking a Nanocom to turn the air suspension back on. Might end up paying local Land Rover guys to do that.

Any thing I'm missing so far?

Oh...2x new conti bags came the other day. Can't wait to have it all installed!

Just a couple of things, unless you self-inflate the bags using your new "non-compressor" air system,, the SLS wont inflate till you switch over in the BCU so the trip to the Dealer will be on the bumpstops---,, always have the axle AND chassis supported when working on the bags--,, hmm what else,,
