Thread: New EAS Compessor Option

Thanks for that Ivan, sounds well worth a shot!

Assuming all goes tits up, I had a chat with the service guy and he said that they would fit a compressor that I supply, along with the necessary updates to the software, for approximately $300. He also offered to "have a look" at the price if I go back to him with what I can purchase a unit for.
Hadn't been to ULR before, but I think I may go back if the service stays as good as I experienced!

Excuse the semi thread hijack, but how slow is too slow in lifting the suspension? I read here about all four corners lifting at the same rate. Mine does not do that, it lifts rear first but it does have an ARB roo bar on it and I wouldn't have called it unreasonably slow.

James, lifting rear 1st then front is normal. With regard to speed, I did some testing when I had the compressor replaced and timed the transitions which I documented earlier in this thread:

It should give you something to compare against.

Yup, always bum first ... I read it was to do with not blinding oncoming drivers if you are doing this at night .... but then again, this story may have as much cred as the "why is the bonnet handle on the LHS?" stories LOL!!!

sounds reasonable to me Kev

Allianz replaced my compressor a few years ago, under extended warranty
Although I've had no problems, I might take the cover off to see what version is installed
