Just put old valve block back on , still the same with all the probs I did not have at the start . Think it may have something to do the preasure line blowing out at the first start and buggered something in the supply valve or the compressor . Looks like a trip to the doctor maybe .

It could just be an air supply problem, car raises the rear first then realises that there's not enough air to do the front, compressor works overtime to compensate and gets too hot. Is it the original compressor, it could be the dryer is blocked and it's only now becoming evident with the wet weather.
Does not want to raise the front at all now , still says it is in extended mode and reset suspension if clear something like that . maybe compressor or height sensor . Strange all this started after changing block valve .

It could be worth taking the compressor off to check the dryer, have a look over on Disco3.co.uk, as if the dessicant breaks down it can block valves.
Some people have taken them apart and cleaned up the dessicant inside it or you can buy a new dryer for significantly less than the whole compressor.
As here:
DISCO3.CO.UK - View topic - How to 'repair' air compressor and fit new air dyer
The line from the compressor goes to the bottom of the 2 that are on the side of the valve block. The top one heads upwards to the right air-spring whereas the bottom one from the compressor is horizontal.Quote:

Hate to see another landy on a flat bed but may have to be , to far to repaire shop to drive on front bump stops .
Or have a go at taking comp out and inspecting it myself if back will permit .
No not a flat bed bloody hell just add to all the people on other sites saying i work near a land rover dealer and see heaps of them on trucks go past haha.Quote:

Landy all ok now , turns out the new valve block was a dud , **** happens , and the original valve block had a digital problem when it was put back in the car , The digital problem was me cross threading the supply line voss connector to the original valve block . Ah well we live and learn .
