That is another battle to discuss with them. Lets focus on a very positive outcome today and let the universe sort this next issue :-)

New compressor installed by dealer Under warranty today. Nice new cover and it hangs a little lower than the previous compressor. Tomorrow, I'll reinstall my GOE protector plate. I have been advised still that accommodates the new lower compressor.

I asked the service man why they replaced it. He said that the previous compressor was struggling to maintain the pressure in the reservoir tank and was slow to rise. Seems odd that when I mentioned that issue months ago they said it was working fine.

Oh well. I've got a new compressor and all should be well with the universe.

Same here. Picked up mine yesterday. New AMK compressor, relay, fuse and software update all FOC as goodwill.

Very pleased to have it done so big thanks to my local Brisbane dealer.

My lovely lady is also pleased to have that functionality working again too 😎

Hi All,
I've got my '06 RRS in at the stealer for a nice cheap timing belt service at the moment. I reported that I am having an issue with the air suspension, in that, it won't lower! Just goes up to extended mode instead. Shows an algorithm fault.
Anyway, turns out that I have to replace the compressor. The quote for this was $1937.00 I think this was for the "new" type of unit. After politely declining their kind offer I'm wondering what the going rate is for a replacement from the UK? (Old type or new)

Also is there anyone around Melbourne that fancies giving me a hand to fit it? (Obviously the requisite amount of beer would be provided)
Cheers.
Rohan.

Try the uk for the pump, but have it installed is my advice. It'll need a software update is my understanding, but if removing the old one is anything like mine it'll be a proper git of a thing as everything will be seized up. If memory serves, my indie back in the UK reckoned all the fixing bolts were quite small and seized solid thanks to the way the cover retains all the mud & crap.

$2k does sound a little bit of a stitch up though (MLR charged me much less than that to supply & fit a new steering rack!!), did the bloke say his name was Dick Turpin ?

You'll want the new AMK compressor. Google part number LR045251. You'll find it on the usual UK sites. You should be able to manage installation but you'll need to get a software update from a dealer to make the most of it.

Check this for how to do the installation:

No, it was Rob. Or Rob N. Barsteward to give him his full name
