Default 2007 LR3 Front air suspension issues

I'm new to the forum and if Im not posting correctly please let me know.
My problem I have been having is that I constantly get a default in my air suspension but only the front bags are being affected. I have to continually shut the car down and restart 3 or 4 times before the front suspension will rise and when it does, it shows a message on the dash "suspension rising slowly" and only for a short period of time and then another message appears stating "the system will continue to rise once it cools down". I have already replaced the compressor once within a year and now the dealer has told me it is the compressor again. Does anyone know of a better after market compressor that is compatible with the system?
Thanks,
The Moose66

The OE compressor now being used (AMK) is supposed to be the best one yet. Also, if you replaced it within a year, it ought to be under warranty, especially if the dealer put it in. Go get a new/free one!

Unfortunately, it was a dealer but not Land Rover, it was Land Rover that I took it to when I starting the same problems after the first fix. Anyway, you mentioned amk, is rhis product a dealer only item? You can text me at 208-800-3964 or email me at themoose66@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

That's ridiculous. Last I checked the part is about $125 and the install takes 15 minutes. Calibration another 15....

Yes you right prices are ridiculous. Original parts from dealer cost about 50% more that you can buy on Atlantic British + they charge for full hour no matter what. I did get price qua=ote from 3 other places but they are more ridiculous that a dealer ship.
Shop #1 600 + tax
#2 310 + tax + 150$ I have to take to dealer for calibration
#3 124 + tax for part and open ticket for calibration. Owner stated that he needs 1 to 5 hours to calibrate properly.

Dealer break there job for me so 530$ includes:
Rear height sensor
0.5 to jack car up/down and remove/instal tire
0.2 hour system deflation
0.1 remove part
0.1 instal part
0.5 calibration
30 point inspection
Car wash, vacuum
And if I need courtesy drive to and from.

I move my kids to better school district, so place my family living now I can't do any job on my car per there rules. My friend who own houses live at places when you have deal with HOA rules. Sadly but I have to take my car to stealer (dealer ).

Well that sucks....and that breakdown from the dealer is a bunch of crap. I changed one of these in my garage a few weeks ago in 15 minutes without jacking up the vehicle, removing the wheel, deflating the EAS....NONE of that!
