I traded my dirt bike for an LR3. The guy said it’s needs new head gaskets. Upon further inspection it looks like the thermostat housing is cracked but the head gasket is fine. Pretty excited about that. It has the airbags replaced with some kind of coil spring conversion and I’m not sure how I feel about that. Am I lucky for not having to deal with the airbag issues? Is it worth trying to go back to airbags? Not really sure

Today I took my front valve block apart... once again. I never did flush my air lines when I put in my new Arnott AMK style compressor. And a month after doing so I had issues up front and had to rebuild the valve block. Has some white powder that we all know about. Well today I took it apart assuming it was fouled yet again but shockingly it was 100% clean. Not a hint of any white residue. That at least made me feel good knowing the system was clean now of desiccant debris. But then I realized I had to have a leaking strut, and I do. So at 206,000 miles it is time to swap em out. Fortunately at $460 shipped form the UK for OEM they dont break the bank. Hopefully they came this week and I can swap em before the weekend. Did my front end rebuild not too long ago, so all the bolts should be easy to remove. I am looking forward to what should be an improved ride quality.

Looks like i'll be following suit, had a leaking drier cap so bought the alloy replacement which has helped and also got a valve block kit at the same time. Still got a leak somewhere as it drops overnight, time for some leak testing and diagnostics.
My struts are getting tired so will replace the fronts soon.
