Sounds like a doddle Hoges

I have seen this kit on ebay from Holland, which includes the diaphragm.

Range Rover P38 EAS Valve Block O Ring SET Diaphragm | eBay

Seems like a good idea to do the diaphragm at the same time.

I have seen separate Diaphragm kits which include bolts, is it really necessary to replace the bolts as well?

Going to call airbagman tomorrow and see if he has anything.

the e-bay vendor is Goswin Rouw. He's p[osted on here and RR.net. I've gotten some stuff from him previously and he's a good bloke! Range Rover addict like the rest of us!

Yeah, he is a nice bloke. I tried one of his aftermarket diaphragms a few years back. Difference between his and the ones I was doing is that his diaphragm has a moulded section on top to locate in the valve block and centre the spring.

BTW: I still have lots of o-ring kits with diaphragms that I will continue to supply to AULRO members at a very reasonable price.

Paul,

I will ping you about a kit

Hoges looks to be right on the money again.

While replacing my e-box fan this weekend, I had the cover off the eas system.

I noticed that the compressor looks new but the valve block looks original.

So i reckon that when the car had suspension problems, they replaced the air springs and the compressor, plus they fitted a manual kit and a bypass switch. But they didn't touch the valve block.

Bit like the way they replaced one heater hose, but not the other which was very soft and suspect.

So next weekend, valve block rebuild!

Just curious... about how much?

Anything for compressor re-building ? - I have an (unknown condition) s/h compressor somewhere in my shed... My current Classic one is 3 years rebuilt.

- and is there any real advantage in a moulded diaphragm? (- Never heard of anyone using yours to have a problem)

I have a small number of the compressor piston seals left.
$25 each, free postage if ordered with the EAS O-ring kit.

I have run out of replacement cylinder/sleeves since my only reliable source closed down.
I am interested to know if anyone has found a good quality cylinder/sleeve replacement since Rover Renovations closed? His stainless steel sleeves were the best IMHO.

Don't think so, they both seem to do the job just fine. All they have to do is seal the inner pipe from the outer "ring" and then flex to allow air to pass between them.

Cheers, Paul.
