So I actually read the invoices rather than the quick glance they got when I bought the vehicle.

It looks like the compressor was replaced in 2018 by that well known independent Land Rover specialists, Halfords. They recommended a trip to the LR dealership for a “software upgrade”
I have no idea what they fitted. I just know it’s noisy
I am laid up with a bad back so won’t be having a close look just yet but I have pulled a few fuses and retesting the self levelling over the next few days.

Yeah, glad I didn’t have to pay for it.
Hoping the noise is just the bracket. Already spent a lot more than I planned on this vehicle so some good news would be nice.

I think from the up, nose down position my disco now has, that the air leak is at the front. It looks to be equal side to side so is this likely to be the front valve block?
Also, is it worth having a go at replacing all the seals or just buy a new one? A kit looks to be about £15 where as a new valve block seems to range between £40-100
