Thread: New EAS Compessor Option

CaverD3 you are right the LR Assured Extended Warranty is underwritten by Allianz, that is the one that is promoted on the LR Official Site and from all accounts the one to buy.

"LTB00420/2011 which gives information about the affected VINs - even MY2012!

Hitachi compressor from VIN:
Discovery 4/LR4 – AA513326 to BA589534
Range Rover Sport – AA215623 to BA708097

AMK compressor from VIN:
Discovery 4/LR4 – BA589535 to CA603567
Range Rover Sport – BA708098 ro CA725317

Back to Hitachi compressor from VIN:
Discovery 4/LR4 – from CA603568
Range Rover Sport – from CA725318 " Taken from disco3.co.uk post.

It seems as though I have the AMK as my chassis number is CA602...

I thought from reading that the AMK was a replacement and better than the Hitachi, but it seems they are going back to the Hitachi ? I gather its not if they have returned to the Hitachi compressor.

Where have you read they are returning to hitachi?

I have had the amk one installed since November last year and think its way better responding than the old one. Certainly more confident in its bracket used even though its hanging a bit lower...

My understanding was they switched due to the tsunami wiping out the hitachi factory?

It was in the post from you (the cut from the D3 forum in the UK). I read this as back to hitachi from the later vins....these vins are after my D4....if they go in numerical order.

Never mind....I found the info very useful.

But now I don't know which is the best compressor. But have never had an issue with the AKM to date, and it gets used frequently and excessively.

Brett.....

the warranty states Ladrover extension of manufactuers warranty and the sales guy who sold it assured me at the time it was the same as original warranty, hence why I forked out nearly $3k for it.

Should have checked here to ask a few questions first. <_<

Anyway I will ask the dealer about it but won't hold my breath on it.

'Misleading and deceptive' comes to mind.
Speak to the ACCC and see if you can get your money back at least.
