Just a bit off topic - Austin Marina
Same great memories here, I remember my Dad having a few of them; driving to the beach (Burton Bradstock - Dorset) in them, must have been the early seventies as mentioned... Oh sharing that rear bench seat with my sister and fighting all the way; no seatbelts, headrests, car seats... How... -
Air Suspension head scratcher
So new pipe and what else? Valve block or o'rings??? Curious! -
Air Suspension head scratcher
On my 2012 LR4 taking the spare out didn't really help me as the exhaust portion of the suspension system was in the way (I didn't know at the time that the white and black plastic cylinder was the exhaust for the suspension)... Anyway, what I did was remove the valve block from it's mounting... -
Land rover LR3 Reservoir valve code air suspension disaster.. PLEASE HELP
Are you confident that the RLM (ride leveling module) ECU firmware is correct for the compressor that you have installed (AMK vs Hitachi)? I've just been down that path and my issues went away once I had the right firmware. -
Air Suspension head scratcher
I've just been through 4months of the same, I realize this isn't as long as your experience but I'm sort of OCD when it comes to these things! I don't like not knowing!... Anyway, keep us posted, I know for sure that that RR to valve is a pain in the a** to follow. Good luck. -
Air Suspension head scratcher
I agree, the RR seems to be the culprit, I just plotted the data in Excel and see this: I definitely think that the RR is pulling down the RF and the LR, here are the height changes vs time: It looks like after three hours the rear is already dropping but only by 1/8". Checking that the... -
2012 LR4 Reluctant to lower from off-road suspension mode
Yes, but the moral of the story is that not all scanners show the firmware correctly (the Indy shop had a scanner showing it as flashed with AMK firmware (incorrectly)). The iiDTool showed it as Hitachi (the iidTool being correct in this case), once flashed with AMK firmware the problems went... -
2012 LR4 Reluctant to lower from off-road suspension mode
OK, so to close the loop on this... four days later and several trips including suspension calibration I have not once received the C1A13-64. This is great news so far... I don't want to count my chickens but so far the suspension has been rock solid. It's been a great learning journey and I... -
Land rover LR3 Reservoir valve code air suspension disaster.. PLEASE HELP
So: It's all pointing to a wiring issue, perhaps check the wires all look OK. I measured the resistance on my exhaust valve solenoid and got 15ohms. I have a spare reservoir block and could measure the resistance on that valve for you to compare. Did you make any other progress with this... -
Air Suspension head scratcher
I think we're both assuming... It doesn't say which valve it opens and to be honest I don't know! By opening the valve on an individual corner you would also have to open the exhaust valve at the same time (to vent the pressure). In this scenario you're "throwing" away good air pressure... -
Air Suspension head scratcher
The exhaust valve stuck open doesn't guarantee the vehicle will fall, once the springs are pressurized to reach the desired ride height each individual air spring is then isolated from the gallery (per a valve for each corner, 9/10/13/17 in your image). If each valve had a small leak but... -
Air Suspension head scratcher
Keep me posted, if it does fall lets keep an eye on the fall as a function of time, so measure it something like every 4 to 8 hours. -
2012 LR4 Reluctant to lower from off-road suspension mode
This evening I managed to get the GAP iiDTool connected! Bear in mind that a local shop confirmed with their scan tool that the RLM ECU is flashed for an AMK compressor I was pretty surprised to find this with the iiDTool: Given the two compressors have different characteristics this has the... -
2012 LR4 Reluctant to lower from off-road suspension mode
To continue with the saga in the hopes that this will help folks that get to follow... This weekend I removed new AMK compressor and checked all electrical connections very carefully; this involved a continuity test on all leads while also moving them around to check for a breakage, everything... -
Air Suspension head scratcher
Just one other thing, other sites mention removing the 20A fuse 26 to disable air suspension. I don't know the difference at the moment but it might be worth a look. -
Air Suspension head scratcher
I really feel your pain, I'm going through a different but also annoying suspension issue... Thinking out loud... I suspect you're going to need to think outside the box! If you open the middle solenoid valve all that does is connect the gallery (the air in all the pipes) to the reservoir... -
B1163-15 code - heated mirrors
I went with the cheap option on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073LZCX6D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 One key issue is that the pins are rotated 90deg so I had to bend each pin ever so slightly so that the two cables don't make contact (which incidentally they... -
B1163-15 code - heated mirrors
Also wanted to run calcs on heating wattage, so, W = V^2/R, so with a resistance of 6.9ohms (reported on page 1), we'd have (assuming 12V supply): W = (12 x 12)/6.9 W = 20.9W This is a reasonable amount of heat! -
B1163-15 code - heated mirrors
Thank you ftillier - You're bang on the money with the instructions (it's super simple as well), here are some notes/images for those that follow, first put the mirror to this position (pointing inboard): Gently pull it in the direction of the vehicle (horizontally) by putting your fingers on...
