I cannot see the tools I bought on their website https://www.advancedfactors.co.uk but if you search for “trim” you will find several options. They do make trim removal much easier.

United Kingdom 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Tonga GreenDiscovery 3

Got our under the car yesterday afternoon and indeed there was a small amount of pipe above the nut. On close inspection I saw there were a couple of small marks on the side of the plastic pipe. I also checked the O rings in the connector and there was not damaged.

Cut the pipe down as far as I dare and refitted it. It was a better fit but there were still some foam like bubbles coming out so not a perfect seal. I left the car overnight in off road mode, with the fuse still in place. Checked it this morning and the car didn’t drop too much. Will reset the height later today, take measurements and pull the fuse just to check a bit more scientifically tomorrow.

However, I have purchased a complete new pipe as if I’m going to replace the pipe I didn’t want any joints. £32 for a genuine part off eBay, which I didn’t think was too bad. Also got a couple of new VOSS connectors just to be sure.

It's 6mm. You can get replacement pipe, connectors and VOSS connectors from Advanced Factors.

Noobie question

Hi all,

So as I have told you all in my introduction I am doing some maintenance work on my 2006 Disco 3.
I have managed to get brand new front lower control arms at a bargain (the fellow sold his Disco 3 but forgot to sell his pre-ordered control arms) and now I am also looking at a bargain for air struts!
However the air struts are for a Range Rover L322... Question is; will it fit/work on a Discovery 3?

I know that some parts of the Range Rover Sport are also usable on the Disco 3, ever since the chassis is alsmost the same, but I thought the RR L322 has a different chassis and quite possibly the struts won't fit. Nevertheless I thought it couldn't hurt to see if the infamous experts on this forum could tell me if it would fit.

Kind regards

LandyNL
