    I used 2000 grade wet and dry, wetted, together with some metal polish against the end of the valve stem whilst it rotated in a drill.

    Was too nervous to actually pry out the small rubber stops/seals in case I damaged them. Any suggestions on the best way of getting them out? Would have been good to build them up again using the glue.

    As for the nrv's - if the cone is too worn on one side, they don't seem to reseat very well. Hence why I've ended up with 9 of them and selected the 3 best. Perhaps a dremel and a fine grinding surface would recondition them? But you'd end up having to take quite a bit off to get them round again. Might attempt to apply weld to build them up a bit before re surfacing. The stems look like brass. What are the cones made from? Anyone know.

    It was nice to get a few well done comments after the Coils were removed and the car was again riding on air, albeit with a bypass kit keeping the Airsprings inflated. Today was the big day for the overhauled Valve block to be refitted and the System tested. The Valve block had all the O rings changed plus what I now believe is necessary, all the rubber ends of the solenoid plungers sanded down to a flat surface.
    I am now giving myself a big pat on the back as she rose majesticly, as Land Rover intended to Std ride hight. Only one steady orange light to show all was well. A fair bit of time but no question worth the effort.
