This version has been issued to add pre 10MY vehicles.
Manufacturing have previously used two different types of air suspension compressors. See Below for applicable VIN Ranges. If the Hitachi or old-design AMK air suspension compressor requires replacement, then a new-design AMK air suspension compressor can be installed.
Hitachi air suspension compressor fitted from VIN:
Discovery 3/LR3 - 5A000360 to 9A513325
Range Rover Sport - 5A900302 to 9A215622
Hitachi or old-design AMK air suspension compressor fitted from VIN:
NOTE: Some vehicles may have been previously repaired using the old-design AMK air suspension compressor.
Discovery 4/LR4 - AA513326 to CA638964
Range Rover Sport - AA215623 to DA768550
NOTE: The Fault Code C1A20-64 may also be displayed.
Really as per Mikeys write up, then:

Its cheaper, easier to fit, has a more substantial mounting bracket, so should not corrode away (still wont take the weight of the car though, so don't jack it up there)

At least I hope that it lasts longer than the older ones.

It seems to be a bit hit and miss as to how long the original ones lasted. Some were replaced under warranty, some are still original after 6-7 years...
I suppose the question should be, how many D4/2010MY RRS's have had replacement AMK compressors?
That said though, it seems as though the original AMK compressor has since been superseded from original D4, according to Steve Norman's post... My D3 Build Thread

Service action Q213 has recently been released. This is to replace any Hitachi compressors that were changed under warranty to AMK compressors.
AMK compressors are now fitted from factory and the only compressor available from factory, for Disco\Sport and also FFRR!

Any particular way? It must be a very snug fit!
Also any ideas to trouble shoot the faults I am having?
I am yet to get the software update and was trying to find someone close with a fault reader to help understand them and clear them.

It helps to soften it up by leaving it in boiling water for a short while. The plastic expands, and becomes more pliable, and is quite easy to push it in then My D3 Build Thread
