Compressor mystery
The garage I use have just changed my damaged compressor, done by another garage, and have now said the new one won't stop running, he's checked for leaks and has found nothing.
Anyone got any ideas??
It's the updated AMK that's been fitted and he's done the software patch.
It's LRs in Speke so they know there way around an LR

Did they fit a new relay? Is it a new compressor they have fitted?It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Brand new, he never mentioned a relay.
He did say that he had fitted loads of the AMK compressors
Will have a chat with him in the morning.
Is a new relay important?

It's not importend it's rather a precaution. Sometimes the contacts of the relay are bondet due to strong current. Therefore the compressor is running all the time. Regardless what the control box is doing.

Does it go to off-road height and extended mode ok?
Does it drop to access mode ok?

Sorry lads, but I haven't been near the garage since I dropped it off this morning.
The mechanic is going to check it the morning to see if it held the air and is still level.
So I'll have to wait until the morn, I'll let youse know what the final call is

A new compressor comes with a a new relay, it's procedure to change it with the compressor as a precaution, a stuck relay that has not been changed will burn a new compressor out very quickly.
Seems you have a problem that may have caused the old compressor to die prematurely.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Cheers M3DPO, the old compressor died prematurely because some clown lifted the D3 up on the compressor cover
This is something that has appeared since the new AMK compressor was fitted.
Just need to wait and see
its a little worrying that he cant find a leak yet it wont stop running .where's the air going then , I would be asking .,seems strange.

Many thanks for the replies lads
Just spoke to the garage and they hadn't given the poor fella enough time to fill with air.
So again many thanks till the next time

Same mystery problem
Have just changed the compressor and relay but even though the tank is full the compressor won't stop. There are no leaks anywhere and the only fault code is u2000 which comes up supposedly because the compressorvoverworks/heats. The only time it stops is when you sink the suspension? Any ideas.
