After a lifetime of corporate hotels, I love the anonymity they give as opposed to the in-your-face contact you have with a B&B. Prices for anything in that part of the world are not cheap. This one has the bonus of cancellation up to day before at no cost...

Jesus, OB, if you're staying there, you're earning far too much money.

No name and shame?

Same here

Hi Marty,
I can't commit to being at the camp at the moment due to health reasons. It wouldn't be the first time I have agreed to be somewhere and come the day am too sick to attend.
Fortunately here is not a lot needs doing to my Beast ( he says touching wood). At this moment in time, it needs a new compressor, the cruise control tubes could do with replacing (it doesn't work) and the CD player doesn't work.
I won't really be able to commit until the week before.

Gilbert, when are you going to tell us what the YCHJCYA2PDTHFH club is???

I would be prepared to help as I have nothing better to do all day apart from sit here on my fat ass.

I'll wait then. At least I know Marty's ones will be good. I'll keep my eyes open just in case one becomes available at a reasonable price but I would rather put the money in his pocket than a strangers.

Will mine last until the end of June, Gilbert? Cheapest pump I have found so far is £120 ( they are all new ones) . thermal switches are £12 and Marty has already answered my next question lol. I was going to ask if they were hard to change.

Thank you very much for your time, Dr. Gilbert!

I can't see it either

The state of play after today.

So this morning I go outside and it is sitting approx a bit above halfway between normal and the stops. Start it up and it runs ok to Dads. Was at Dads about an hour and then I take him shopping but the back is down when we came out of his house. We go shopping and when we come out of the shop, the back is up again to where it was earlier.
We go back home and it is riding fine, no bumping along. So I park on his drive and text Gilbert. When Gilbert answers, we had a chat by text and I took the relay out which although I got it out ok, looks like it could be fun getting it back in.
I was parked at Dads from 130 until I left him tonight at 715 and it never moved. I drove it and it rode ok .... not as good as usual but not on the bloody stops.
This is becoming infuriating!! After a week on the stops and not responding to Marty's kicker, it behaved perfectly when Gilbert got his hands on it. All faults cleared and I left for home a happy bunny.
All I can do now is wait for the postman ........... I have bought a diagnostic cable ( I got one with the same connections as yours, Gilbert) and hope when I plug it in, it will play ball. Of course, I am going to have fun putting the relay back in first. I can't understand why it won't accept the kicker yet as soon as Gilbert plugged in, he got everything moving. It is starting to look like another run down to Peterboro' Monday evening. I just hope the air holds enough to make it an easier journey down than Thursday.

I'm thinking that storm had something to do with it :o(
What pees me off, Gilbert, is you did a cracking job there ......... everything was hunky dorey. I'm happy, you're happy and an hour later the bloody thing kicks us in the nuttz

If it is still at ride height in the morning, I will unplug the relay ............... I am too tired to go back outside and do it now.
I have also just bought the diagnostic lead.

Poxy effing car!!!! I was as happy as a pig in shit until all of a sudden, interrupting a good tune on the radio, I heard Beep Beep Beep.
I stopped at Dads on the way home and the car is still at normal height though all 4 lights are lit and I have the higher light on and the 35 max warning. Just got in and it is still as normal. I plugged the kicker in and wriggled it about but all that seem to do was turn the 4 lights into one ..... the top one. It is a sodding long way back to Gilberts especially if the car makes a monkey off me again as it did when Gilbert plugged his toys in. Took him about 30 seconds to get it all ok.
All I can think of doing for the moment is buying the lead, I have the software already, and trying to replicate what Gilbert did and then calling into his place again when I am down that way.

Thanks for those, OB .............. I am going to get it down to Gilbert tomorrow so hopefully we can resolve it then. If need be the second of those links will be ordered.

Yes mate ............. I did PM you over on RangeRover to let you know.
I am hunting around now for a relay ............... there is a question over whether it is kaput or not as there is no communication going on.

Has anyone got a spare EAS relay?? LR say they are obsolete now??

I did wonder about the hardreset advice but have seen it spoken about on the 'other side' so I tried it. But having just spent 30 minutes reading here http://www.rangerovers.net/newrremedies.html#suspension I realise now it is going to have to go to the shop or I am going to have to wait for Gilbert. It is right down on the stops on all 4 corners so it is not a comfortable ride though and I live in the boonies. All because of a sodding pothole.
I can download the software but don't have the cable :o(

So having carefully driven around all week with an EAS soft fault whilst waiting for new rear bags to arrive, yesterday I hit a pothole and bang, it went into hard fault. I heard the rear bag go.
So today, I have just had the new bags fitted and it is still in hard fault mode. I have raised the back end and disconnected the battery to do a 'hard reset' as suggested by my local 4x4 shop but to no avail. Any suggestions?? Gilbert has offered to do the job for me but is unable to get to me until next week and due to health shite and location, I really need the Beast for mobility.
