Thread: Fault Code Reader in Tamworth, NSW? - Suspension Fault

The local Ford dealer used to be a Land Rover dealer also, not sure if the Land Rover guy is still there though, I don't of any Indy Landy places in Tamworth unless there an AULRO Member nearby that has a code reader, next would Port Macquarie for a LR Dealer.

I gave the local LR dealer a call. They quoted $99 just to read the codes.

Tamworth Tax ?

You can pretty much bet that the fault is indicating that the reservoir pressure isn't increasing at an acceptable rate. The dryer's felt pad may be blocked with pulverised desiccant or the compressor may be weak due to a worn-out valve or piston.

The next stage of failure will be that the compressor will be unable to get the vehicle up to normal height, at which time the vehicle will be dropped to the bump-stops. If this occurs then restart the engine and as soon as the vehicle is high enough to drive, remove the 20A engine bay suspension fuse before the fault re-occurs so that the vehicle can't lower. The 5A passenger compartment suspension fuse which supplies an ignition sense to the suspension module can then be removed so as to prevent the repeated 50kph messages which can be annoying.

Thanks Graeme! Would you recommend a rebuild or replacement?

A good thread to read this one

I've not rebuilt either brand although I had replaced desiccant in an Hitachi attempting to avoid it being replaced under warranty. Some people have had success with rebuilding the Hitachi but many others haven't had much success.

Thanks guys for all the input. It hasn't dropped at all having been left at full height so I think I'm safe to go a new compressor.
Could someone please confirm for me that this is the Hitachi I have already? I couldn't find a serial number anywhere I could get access to.
I'm fairly sure but don't want to order the wrong one.
