I have been quoted a little over two and a haft for the compressor as a drop-in unit. C/W hoses and pressure switch, as you can't get it separately.
BradC, if I could use your brain trust. Where in Malaga are you. and what time are you available.
Mainly to plug into the cars computers and seen the faults if any.

Less than 1/3 of that if you get it from one of the UK suppliers, bloody thieves some of these guys are.
Its a half hour job to change over.

Rock Auto for a genuine Hitachi is cheap.

Sounds like bollocks to me. The pressure sensor is on the center valve block not the compressor.

Replied to your PM.

I have a fault light on the bottom left of the dash, amber in color.
It pops up 10 second after the car is started and stays there until engine is switched off. When the car is stated the rear air bags go to normal height, but the front air bags stay right down the bottom. looks sporty but not. No leaks on the system I could find using soapy water.
Is there a shuttle cock on the compressor to feed the front and rear air system separately? One of which is seized.
Any suggestion on what it could be, would be grateful or a trip to the LR dealer?

I had the same issue with the suspension error light coming on my D3. My suspension would drop sometimes by around 25mm > 40mm over night and I just lived with it, but I got a bit over it and changed the o-rings on my front and rear valve blocks with a kit I purchased from 4x4seals (I think) of Ebay (UK company) they have video's on YouTube on how to change the seals.
Since the rebuild I have had no lights or suspension drop. Should have done the rebuild ages ago.....

Did you rebuild the dryer? It's not uncommon that the seals are damaged by silica dust from the media in the dryer degrading.

All repaired. replace the inlet valve (damaged) on the compressor and put a service kit through it.
Thanks Brad, for your knowledge.
