Mike your videography is unparalleled!! You get the shot no one else can. Perfectly lit, angled so I can tell where you are, clearly explained. Thank you, thank you!!

Ok I found a 2400 lr3 if I watch enough of these I may get the nerve to start working on it

I love this. So detail oriented. Thank you for the content. Having a greater understanding going into the job makes a huge difference!

Thanks for showing my comment from your previous video and answering my question. I feel famous now and I can cross an item off my bucket list. This was a great video and very informative. I wish I lived near Vegas and that we were close friends. 😀😀 Thanks for the video.

I just discovered your channel. I have a 2006 LR3 myself I am learning so much.

Hi, many thanks for the very kind words , really pleased it helped , indeed as mentioned to disable the suspension just need to pull the F26 fuse , great the new struts came with the brass Voss connectors as on there own there around $14 bucks , personally I replaced all mine with brass push fits as they were a lot cheaper along with being easier of just pushing them in without messing around trying to get a spanner to tighten the Voss connectors . When I done mine several years ago I did find the ride quality was better . Plus finding out that when the suspension is in off road height and u get bottomed out whilst driving off road the vehicle will give u the option of raising it to extended off road height and then plus extended off road height , awesome lift by the way , happy motoring and u have a wonderful safe trip , many thanks for sharing this video with us , looking forward to the next video , ps , hope it was ok but posted ur video on landyzone and the discovery 3 forum , hopefully will then get some more views

Didn’t see you do up the brass nut and collet,if you don’t the pipe can pop out .

these videos are top notch, truly! Any Land Rover owners out there looking for a guide should be watching. Super detailed, helpful, and the camera shots are fantastic. I also like that fact that you point out any differences from comments made on previous videos. We are all here to learn and the fact that you bring this up is truly great. I'm currently working on the front end of my LR3, having an issue with the front end being super slow to raise. I've already replaced the compressor and changed the o-rings in the front and center valve blocks. Need to check struts next. I really like the quick jack you are using. I'll check in your description if you have that product linked. If not, can you or someone please let me know where to purchase this. Subscribed! Please keep the great LR3 content rolling

Thanks for the clear instruction and step by step procedure to replace the air bag , it is my current problem front left one,

F26 is the EAS fuse. The brass fittings are called VOSS connectors. Look after them, they sell for about £10each. For the 15mm top nuts, a swivel head ratchet spanner does the job on all 3 nuts. Always do the overnight test at the height at which it sinks overnight. Fully raised often seals the split in the rubber air spring and you learn nothing, this of course depends on where the actual leak is, but its usually up inside that aluminium can where the rubber folds in on itself.

Mike thank you so much for the great job you are doing am also mike a mechanic but lives in Nigeria and i love range rovers a lot particularly this model but am limited with sophisticated tools but manages to navigate my way thank you i learn from you to boost my understanding

Exceptional quality video. Slow, steady explanations with great visuals. Between your videos and LR time vids from Germany I believe I could run a Disco3 or 4 economically. Thank you very much for all the time and effort you put into these videos. Subscribed.

Great video. Good tips on removing and reinstalling the airline in to the strut. For those watching who have a diesel variant (not in North America I know) the third strut nut is not as accessible from the engine bay as it is in the V8. I had to break it and remove it from the wheel arch. I now have to do the same job on my V8 so looking forward to the easier access this time.

Its always best to put the new voss connector nut and collet onto the green pipe before you connect it back onto the strut . When the connector is then inserted into the strut and you tighten the voss connector the brass collett tightens its grip on the pipe giving you a proper airtight seal . Also you don't then need the pliers . Voss connectors do not work the same as push fit as you cannot get passed the collet once it is tightened . hope this makes sense and good channel Mike .

first waffle square vid i’ve seen. love this guys and how he does his vids and his personality. really methodical and informative vid

Great video good step by step guide, you should also give LR TIME with Vera and Christian a watch, loads of Landrover stuff..

OMG Mike, Thank You for this video. I just subscribed and will be looking at your other videos to bring my LR3 back to life. Thank you for showing me the quick jack. Putting in my order now for one.

That TPMS sensor is what I’ll need. Thanks for the info!

Excellent detailed set of instructions. Thanks very much.

great video! Now I'm on the look out for a high-mileage LR3!

Excellent work Sir! Really nicely done! Thank you!

Absolutely awesome and super helpful as I am getting a gap tool to use on my RRS

Awesome quality content sir!👍

The only fuse you need to take out is fuse F26 yellow 20Amp . This stops any articulation of suspension by the vehicle.

Great video,I love the wat you work! Hvl.

Great Tutorial !

Great video. Thanks!

thanks for the video, much appreciated

Can't wait for more

Excellent. Subscribed

removing only the F26 fuse does the trick ;)

hola Mike, excelente video de apoyo, solo como aportacion adicional he visto algunos tutoriales que el tornillo del buje de la cama no debes ajustarlo con el auto elevado, debes bajarlo y en altura normal ajustarlo al torque necesario asi evitas torsion y esfuerzo en el buje vulcanizado alargando su vida util, saludos.

Mike, this is a little long but I needed to explain so you could see where I'm coming from. I used your guide and a couple other videos to properly educate myself. One incongruity was oxmanagain saying you feed the VOSS connector and compression ring onto the line first, then seat the fitting into the strut and tighten down. I tried the push-connect method on the rear strut and found it almost impossible (though I realize it is the correct method) so I threaded all connectors on the line first and that definitely worked. That sets the stage for my question. Unlike the rear, there was a huge space deficit on both front sides, mostly due to the heat shields and long strut posts. The welded bracket that holds the strut also is thick enough where I seemed to need a very thin wrench (which I didn't have) to finish snugging up the brass air connector from above the bracket. I felt it was near impossible to tighten the brass VOSS connector below the bracket due to the three posts, so I did it all from above once the posts were tightened down fully. I noticed you didn't include the tightening of the air line in your video and neither did oxmanagain. My main concern is not getting that air line tightened enough to prevent leakage. I would say both are snug, the air line "bulge" is about two quarter widths from the top of the connector, and firmly tugging on the line I cannot remove it. Do I call it good?

Very good video, I have a 2013 RRS HSE and I'm replacing the Front shocks, added 2.5" lift Bars, Rebuilt 3 calipers and replaced one with a new caliper and complete Brembo pads on the TRW calipers. My questions is on the passenger side front strut and the 3 top bolts holding the strut in place. The 2 front nuts were easy but the last nut was a bugger to remove. Any tricks on installation on the 3rd nut?? Thank, Pete

Great video Thx.

The 411 on my lr3 I had transmission rebuilt , it should be done by now I'm a otr truck driver always gone then I can finish installing the upgrades and terrafirma spare tire carrier just not enough time seems like , nice video

Nice job, learned allot, I just recently bought a Range Rover and air suspension works but the rear is always sagging after sitting over night

Hi, you should check out a German couple (Christian and Vera) on KZfaq, their channel is called "LR TIME" they have lots of brilliant tips including which is the only fuse you need to remove on the LR3 and LR4 for the air suspension, it is an excellent channel with a new video every Sunday. I highly recommend it. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos and sharing them.

I definitely need a gap plug tool

Do you have to remove the heat shield or can you get the back nut with a flex head?

Hi!! You are very good!! I have a 2014 Land Rover LR4 HSE and am looking for the transfer case control module location. I have code U0102-00 And C1A13-64 I am trying to locate the module to see if have some corrosion, Thank!

Awesome Videos ! Any chance you could post a LR3 Valve Cover Gasket replacement with the ford engine? Or is this to Intensive of a job for your everyday back yard mechanic?

Any issues come up with the maXpeedingrods struts to date? Just ordered one. Did you torque down the brass air fitting before inserting the line? Or insert the line, then torque? Can't wrap my head around how that's a "quick connect" fitting, seems like it would function more like a compression union. Thanks in advance...

I can't find the link for the worx small electric screwdriver thing you had during the o ring seals change

It seems to me that you should set the suspension to "tight tolerance" before calibration and back to normal tolerance after ?

How do I know if I need the springs with cvd continuous variable damping ? 😊 2012 range rover l322

Curious to see if you get any lean codes after servicing the MAF (once you get driving around). I cannot for the life of me get rid of my “bank 2 lean” code on my ‘08. Great vids, enjoying following along!

Is it necessary to remove the brass fitting and then put it back to remove the shipping plug like you did at 12:54; or can you leave the brass fitting in place the way it arrived on the strut and just remove the shipping plug directly (without having to unscrew the brass fitting)?

Just purchased a 05 lr3. Been working on it so my son and I can hit the trails. Your vids have been extremely helpful! Going to be changing the 2 front air struts and adding lift rods. Can I calibrate with the Johnson rods installed or should I calibrate then install the rods? Thanks again!

Once again, GREAT VIDEO! I watched your other videos but specifically commented on the rebuild of the front valve block so thanks for your help and comments. But turns out it's a leak in my driver side air strut. I'm gonna replace it myself with the confidence I gained from your video! My question is: Are the struts from your Amazon link the specific ones you used? I've gotten burned on cheaper Amazon replacement rover parts before.

Great video. About to start the job replacing my front two. I have a question. I live up the road north about two hours but I work out of vegas. Any chance you want to rent out your gap tool for ten minutes to calibrate the height. I don’t want to drop $560

Hi Mike, thanks a tonne mate! quick question which OBDE 2 do u recommend for LR3?

Great informative video. Thanks for sharing. I have a similar GAP tool that I purchased from British Atlantic RR for my '11 RRS supercharged. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the standard height recommendation for mine. Does the type of GAP you have contained other models, or did you have to purchase the software for a particular model? Thanks again for the video.

Before I forget , if u find it difficult to remove the air compressors intake filter from the boot I personally cut the pipe and rejoined it using a 6mm push fit coupling , plus have u checked out ur front diff breather vent plse as these can block up and cause oil leak out from the seal , here’s the part number for u LR019450, it’s tucked down by ur expansion bottle , if u search on the discovery 3 forum for a breather vent ur see some posts , hope that also helps , ps, apologises as I did try and post a link for u but won’t let me

Could you replace those air fittings with standard Festo 4mm pressing fittings on the whole car?

You have done many of the same repairs and upgrades as me, my transmission rebuilt is done but my drive line with center hanger bearing was worn out so you may want to inspect your its a known failure on the land rover , there a repair kit on the center hanger bearing on KZfaq showing how to do the repair the shop just bought a used one

Im about to switch mine to coils...NON stop problems with the air suspension

Hello, I am hoping some one can let me know what I missed on my 2013 RRS. After Completing a brake job including rebuilt calipers and bleeding the system, added 2.5" Johnson Lift rods, and replaced the Front Struts/Shocks. In the process of about 2 weeks sitting on my lift I finally had everything finished and was ready to restart the systems. I used my TOPDON ArtiDiag 800BT to evacuate the air in the tank and struts prior to removing airlines, and when I tried to reset the Suspension Level Calibration process which re-pressurizes the tank and struts and establishes where the vehicle is siting relative to established heights, couldn't finish because the vehicle wouldn't start. I ran a diagnostics looking for any DTCs or other systems problems and everything was good, other than the systems that required power and air pressure. Okay, long story short I need the engine started in order to start this process and the battery was dead. I recharged the battery and getting 13.6 volts and nothing. I disconnected the battery hoping to reset the system and nothing. The last time I tried to start it the dash indicators lights come on and look ready to start, nothing... I'm not sure why it wont start, am I missing something?? Thanks for any pointers Pete

Where can i get the gap id tool? Do i have to download it to a ipad or it auto connect thru bluetooth. Is it available in canada?

hi waffle, I have a quick question about the LR3 if you don't mind. Does the 05 and 06 model have a different trans than 07-09? trying to figure out which one is the best to buy. thanks

I folks i want to buy that. Tool who calibrate the suspension .do have a link please for that tool Thank

How long should it take per side? Tnx

It is very dangerous to damage your beautiful car when you cut with your angle grinder near it. Good video.

I found a video of the air intake filter of the compressor here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9tnpLl4ydOWcYE.html

These vehicles sound like POS' sorry to say. I have a 2001 Pathfinder that does not have hardly any problems except rust!

u are not mekaniek but u are beter mekaniek dan 80 procent from delarshiep

Super loved the detail to precision I wonder does the iCarsoft have the same function , keep up the good work. 🦾🦾🦾🦾
