Revenge is a dish best served cold...
My family were/are not entirely approving of me buying and continuing to own 'Sarah'... and the feedback about her air suspension, well, not for the delicate eyes & ears here...
#1 Son's Pride & Joy is a WL Statesman (with NON-sagging headlining...) Bigg V8...and (air) Ride Levelling on the rear.... which is now exploding fuses. Nor is it working at all, now.
System is a pair of (rear) height adjustable shock-absorbers, probably like the Monroe-Wylie pump-up shocks of yesteryear... Coil springs are only meant to hold it at 'minimum height'... the rest of the effort & lift taken up by air. I have no idea if the pump is 'fixable' or not.
Should I start now with the .... "comments", or wait till he's $pent lot$ of $$$ on a new pump, - or appropriate replacement coil $pring$?
Now THAT sounds familiar to us RR owners !

Yes... as he did last week... when he 'rescued' my staked tyre, after I indulged in some impromptu Trail Blazing... You know, Wet road - Drive TO the conditions, don't speed, etc etc.

Curse of the Land Rover mindset....
Pulled his pump apart. Oh my Sainted Aunt! Windings are black, - how black? - 'Blacker than Black' (TV transmission tech would understand) It has been exceedingly hot inside there. Warmer than Mr Valeo & Co ever planned.
Piston/bore is scored, some white "fluff" in there. Signs point to an acquaintance with Wet Stuff .
Indeed, given the amount of aluminium corrosion in the crankcase, this may have caused the seizure/resistance that roasted the rotor. Even inside the valve head was... 'damp'..
Haven't opened the Dryer yet.
But, The Stench of Electrical Death is strong....enough to catch the back of my throat.
I doubt if this will...'polish out'.
$550 for a new (GMH-sourced) pump unit, and between $600 and $800 for a full SPRINGS and new shock-absorbers-replacement job.
Pump is mounted well up above the rear axle line, but obviously not high enough. Maybe the PO went boat-launching with it, or Very Deep Puddles...
I feel better about my Sarah's pump-box, attached to the chassis rail. When o/hauled, there was NO water damage.
