Right, it's time to get into the EAS issues on my Range Rover.
Feel free to ignore this thread if it's too tedious but I thought I'd be better off writing stuff down methodically and if anyone has any advice (apart from Mr Molotov) just shout/laugh at me....
Symptoms:
- Compressor runs too much. Has been like that for (ahem!) time.
- Sits down overnight, parked on a slight slope.
- Sits down over a couple of days sitting on the flat.
- Just realised that the green dust seen between the solenoids in the block is probably dessicant!
- Driving back from Salisbury, EAS boop boop and the Nanocom revealed "Valve permanently closed RHF"
She managed to drive back for 2.5 hours on emergency valves at 65 PSI all round (maybe 55 at the back?) and sat down again over three days. She self levelled on the way down, which was strange but I guess it's logical that the bags on the high side get squished more.
Resources!
2x Valve Blocks with Driver pack and plastic box.
The fitted one was last rebuilt 6-7 years ago
The spare on was rebuilt a couple of months ago but I couldn't get any pressure into the system when I hooked it up. Hmmm.
1x Dunlop compressor (fitted) which wasn't able to get us home, and I forgot to unplug it when we started driving again so it was probably running all that time, probably toast.
1x "Good, used" OEM compressor from ebay (the CNS4x4 Guy in Wales) which hopefully will run OK but needs testing.
1x compressor rebuild kit including sleeve from X8R
Nanocom
Calibration Rods
small brain.
First things I'm going to check:
- Has the Dunlop Compressor died?
- Is the dessicant in the dryer now done? (It's ancient, last changed just before a summer camp!) and is it now green?
- Does the new pump run and produce pressure?
Then we'll see....
