Thread: GOE emergency air up kit.

I'm trialling a new kit at the moment that doesn't require any cutting of existing lines. Issue at the moment is slow inflation rates, but hope to resolve that soon.

That sounds awesome, look forward to seeing that. As an emergency get you out of trouble solution slow inflation may not be a killer, long as we are talking minutes / hours not days.

My experience with emergency air up kits is to carry one when going remote but only fit it if you need to. when i fitted my emer air up kit to the D2 SLS it resulted in a long series of slow leaks from the created joins that took ages to resolve and as I never actually had a SLS problem it was a lot of effort expended for no real purpose.

how often is this kit needed? mostly issues are elec/compressor probs and either a cooling period, hard reset or obd tool fixes the vast majority.

If you actually need it and have slight issues with leaks after fitting when out bush at least you will get out to a proper service ctr and the leaks will have been caused by actual need rather than peercieved need.

Carry dont fit.

As a user, but also as the designer of this kit, I don't recommend this. This isn't for a D2.

of course not, you want people to buy it i assume,

"This isn't for a D2" so whats the real difference, four inflation points instead of 2 whacko!

no conflict of interest here is there!

Hmm - I don't know you, so I doubt you know me, but I don't try to give advice just to sell stuff. And your statement above is nonsense - whether people fit the kit or just carry it, they still have to buy it, don't they??!! I don't fit it for them.

Do some research ...........

Cheers,

Gordon

Without people like Gordon and Graeme...we would be stuck in the desert somewhere trying to work out terrain settings, blown tyres because LR supplying modern vehicles with 19 inch rims, compressors being smashed by rocks, car dropping to its bumps stops and not being able to lift it, burning out the compressor because the car won't go over 50kph without dropping (due to constant use of the offroad suspension height button)....and much more things that can go wrong but are reduced due to their experience and time developing products for our benefit.

No conflict of interest at all....as far as I am concerned.

Gordon and Graeme are passionate LR drivers and we would be buggered without their products.

Brett......

My research and experience (and the experience of my local indy LR specialist is):

there are more leak issues created in fitting these types of systems than the incidents of a failure requiring their use.

P.S.

flack jacket on!
