All good now car and trailer on boat. We're flying out pm Tuesday. Car will arrive in Cairns on Thursday, so hopefully the dealer will be able to check it out on Friday and I can catch up with the rest of the folk as they come south.

Or you could drive back on the bump stops- or you have become soft in your old age (not helpful I know).
Is it worth taking a punt and getting a new compressor sent up from Cairns? Or an EAS kit from Gordon if you have the time.
External water should not have been an issue - the air intake and exhaust is in the back drivers side compartment (I think) actually inside the cabin so in theory the compressor is sucking in dehumidified air (if you run your A/c) from the cabin.
Sorry I cannot be much help.
Good luck with it.

Hi Bob,
Is your vehicle the one that went bush to avoid a collision then had air suspension problems? The people from Land Rover Spares in Mackay had been in touch.

Back in Canberra now. The problem proved to be a dud air compressor. Trinity LR in Cairns replaced it and we were on our way. I would like to know if any service/inspections are done on the air system because the way it looked to me, the cover had never been off the air compressor.
Anyway, all good now and the Cape is definitely worth a look.

SupporterThere is nothing in the service schedule specifically covering the air compressor and air suspension as such other than checking boots etc. So there is not requirement to check or service anything on the air compressor.
Did you keep the old one as most likely it was just the desiccant that was cactus and not the compressor itself - Tote is the local expert on the compressors.

No Garry, I got nothing back from the Cairns dealer. I was just happy to be mobile again. I met a D4 owner at Bramwell junction and he asked how many compressors I'd been through. Up until that time none, but he he'd been through three in his old D3 and he put it down to the fact that the desiccant isn't checked. As an asside, his D4 ended up in the shop in Bamaga alongside mine, he'd damaged a cv driving on sand.
I find it interesting that there are no checks on the air suspension system particularly as it can prove to be a single point of failure.
Anyway, I got value out of my extended warranty, it was only four weeks old and I've completely recovered what it cost.

SupporterIt is good to see that things worked out OK financially. I am not sure why landrover did not make the descant a serviceable item to be replaced at each service.

Garrycol/gghaggis,
As I have a similar aged D3 (August 2008) build with about 75,000 on the clock how easy of hard is it to either service the compressor/replace dessicant myself or ask is it easier to simply ask for it to get looked at, at the next scheduled service ?
Noting I am not overly mechanically minded but do like to fiddle with things, its the putting them back together that usually stuffs me !
