Hi All
My LR3 Air Spring is suffering with the air leakage and plan to replace with new one or repair.
May I know is it possible to repair the air spring ?
On the other hand , if the air spring need to replace , I found there are serval brand is available which can ship to my country (from LRdirect.com) , which is better ? it is a must to have the original brand ?

1. LANDROVER
2. DUNLOP
3. OEM
4. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
5. LR

Thanks
Ben

 

Hi Ben - I recently had all my air spring struts (purchase OEM Replacement from Atlantic British) replaced on my 2006 Landrover LR3 se V8, after the install the vehicle went into a red rollover fault, which my independent mechanic could not clear. I took it to the stealer and they stated the truck needed a computer (firmware) update and that cleared the code. Then truck is running just like new............I hope this helps. Bill

 

Is it possible to rebuild them, sure would it be worth it not even a little bit. The heart burn of sourcing the parts and buying whatever specialty tools are need to rebuild the spring and strut assembly it would be insane.

OEM or Arnott would be my choice if I was buying new.

 

Hi Joe
thanks for your suggestion. Will the firmware update for LR3 is easy to do ? As I am not sure the stealer in Hong Kong know how to run the LR3 firmware update for LR3

thanks

Ben

 

Thanks. If OEM is good and just replace without problem, it will be nice as it is much cheaper than the Landrover original brand. Just not sure is it require to have the firmware update

 

Replacing a Air Strut should not require a firmware update

 

OK , I will then buy 4 set OEM air strut and hope everything will be fine

Thanks a lot
