    Spare rods?

    I have Llams fitted to the D4 and I will be purchasing spare suspension sensors, along with speed sensors, brake switch, etc.

    However, I am wondering if it is worth getting suspension sensor rods as travelling spares, in addition to the spare sensors themselves?

    Some people have mentioned carrying spare rods because they have GOE and kept the OEM ones but because I have Llams, I don't currently have this redundancy.

    Thoughts?

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Unplugging Llams provides the same redundancy as carrying standard rods when using non-standard rods.

    Graeme, agreed but I'm not concerned about Llams reliability. Rather, should I be concerned about damaged or broken rods & therefore have spares.

    I've not heard of any rods breaking, original or otherwise, so would not carry spares myself. A different story with the early home-shortened original rods that people made-up which break at the join.

    For older 3.0s a spare secondary turbo isolation valve solenoid (LR021929) could be warranted as it can fail which then triggers restricted performance and no secondary turbo. The EPC shows this part only applicable to vin AA546302 with LR029417 for later vehicles.

    Hi Graeme, "unplugging Lams', what is that? where do I find that plug?
    I live/drive remote, haven't considered spare rods, but if I break one, does this help?

    Llams

    Have a read here for all details on Llams, which is an aftermarket suspension height control module:

    The system is unrelated to the rods.

    for those of us with LLAMS, I have found that if the suspension has lowered due to a HDC/ABS fault (and I am also assuming speed sensor error or height sensor error) all you need to do is turn your LLAMS up to full height and that will raise your vehicle back up to normal height.


    (note that I found the cause of all my faults that causes suspension lowering to be the steering wheel being out of alignment with the way the car drove - so I carry a Nanocom that I believe will reset the steering angle if I am out in the sticks and knock it that far out of alignment - haven't really had a chance to play with it to confirm).


    will the arb air line repair kit suit? or is it different air lines?

    Furthermore, unless you still have a very early Llams module that didn't get the recovery option added in which case contact me to get it updated, pressing the button switch whilst at the high setting temporarily (until low is selected) converts medium to normal height and high to off-road height.

    IIRC the air lines are a difficult to source higher spec. Gordon resolved that problem by putting together the GOE emergency air kits.
