    I fixed (most) of the leaks, just one left! The compressor seemed to work again, all be it intermittently, and better if there was already air in the system. I ended up getting my local LR workshop to have a quick squiz during it's service today, and they told me the compressor is pumping away merrily... with no output

    Where is the best place to get a replacement EAS compressor? I don't really feel like paying the quoted $660...
    If you are handy with the spanners you can just put a kit through the compressor.
    Its pretty easy, last time i did the job it was $50

    Good luck finding it locally at that price. Even with his postage from the UK, that is half what we sell the Compressor Seal and Cylinder Sleeve for... and I dropped prices a while ago to pass on savings from the improved exchange rate

    The quality of his kit seems ok too, based on the products he sent me about 6 months ago when we were discussing a partnering arrangement.

    Cheers, Paul.

    There you go Hard Range have them $80.

    When i put the kit through mine i stripped the electric motor down and removed a lot of carbon from around the brushes.
    They are quiet a nicely engineered piece of gear on the compressor side.

    Did you remove the plastic ring around the bearing while you had the end off the compressor? If not, next time you take it apart, remove the plastic ring (they are usually loose anyway) and throw it away. They serve no useful purpose, and when they loosen up they cause premature failure of the bearing.
    Let me know if you ever need to replace the brushes. We do those too, but I still haven't got around to posting them at the shop... as well as a bunch of other stuff related to the EAS.

    Cheers, Paul.

    Yep did all that, must be 7-8 years ago now and still running fine.
    Not that my EAS pump has to work too hard i have an isolation switch on the dash for it. I dont need to run it more than a few minutes a day.
