That sounds like the original pressure, not the reduced pressure introduced with the s/w update to go with the AMK compressor. 150 PSI might still be a tad low though.Quote:

The air harness comprises ten separate nylon pipes which are connected between the system components with Voss connectors. The pipes have the following diameters:
Pipe / Diameter
High pressure pipes / 6 mm
Compressor inlet pipe / 8 mm
Inlet filter to silencer / 8 mm
Compressor exhaust pipe / 10 mm
Silencer exhaust pipe / 19 mm
If a pipe becomes damaged, an in-line connector is available for repair purposes.

Think about it...
You added a Bullbar - for that rare occurrence that a Roo does jump out.
Even the odds of that are pretty low. I've gone years and hit nothing, then cleaned up a heap in a few weeks..
For that stick to do what it did - the holes all need to line up in the cheese!
That's what I ended up doing. Got a connector which btw was 1/4" diameter, cut the pipe, removed the damaged section and plugged the ends of the pipe in. The air suspension system works perfectly well now.Quote:

Went to the dealer who said that it would cost about $170 to get the air line from the UK and then 1.5 hrs fitting time. When I asked about a connector solution the service guy said that it was not recommended as it could damage the compressor and the warranty would be voided :mad:
So I went to Momentum 4x4 in Wauchope and he got me a connector after measuring the diameter of the air line and fitted it.
The connector is made from steel and is one of those "pull back a ring and push the line in" types.
Easy to find if your in the country. Tractor place in West Wyalong had lots and helped saved my bacon with a airline fault on the way to QLD last year. I keep a few in my car if you cannot find one PM me.Quote:

Graemes offer does not seem such a bad price IMO. ( i do not have one myself)
Air lines, fuel lines, brakes, suspension can all get unlucky. Ditto for Gear box, Diffs and more in most 4Wds drive as 4WDs:angel:
If you need spare line or connectors, I sell both. The quick-fit connectors are nickel plated - corrosion resistant and rated to 1200 psi. The air line is rated to 400psi at 60degC. Most derate to under 200psi at that temperature.
