I got a 2007 SE, I had some front end suspension issues from a leaking valve block. went ahead and refurbed it based on recommendations here, as it had never been done. That ran well for awhile but started leaking again and this time I got a new block as it seemed that fittings weren't able to get tight. The airlines would get snug and then just either loosen on their own from sitting with pressure (and leaking) or it seemed like they were stripped. I got a new generic block that was good for a bit, and now it seems like it's leaking. I can't see any issues on the struts. if i get a new block what should I buy? I'm seeing everything from $30 to $300. And I feel like the brass fittings on the aftermarket block were nicer than the OEM that was just plastic. At least I think it was OEM, I bought from a dealer in 2010 when it came back from it's lease. Either way I'm just looking for something reliable.

 

I have ordered parts from this site before.

You can shop by make/model and delivery was good. I believe they are the OEM supplier to many makes. If they aren’t, I’m sure somebody will set me straight.

Spare, legit, Voss fittings are priced well here along with the blocks and all sorts of other parts for our LR3’s.

 

They are aftermarket but possibly quality is good, not had to replace any valve blocks and still on the originals.

 

Maybe I'll trying rebuilding the original again, it's a weird because I put it in offroad, pull the fuse and it's locked in, no sag. I feel like it's definitely internal on the block, I don't see anything when i spray it, so maybe internal, because it's not immediate, takes a few days. The air system is so cool till it's not...

 

If you dont rebuild the compressor dryer, you will be constantly rebuilding the blocks as more desiccant dust gets put into the system. I always recommend addressing the compressor first, then waiting a couple weeks to service the blocks so debris can be mostly flushed out. I myself with over 200k am also on original blocked. Rear and center rebuilt once, front rebuilt at least twice.

 

I’d avoid anything non-OE or non-OEM, I took a cheap one apart and it was missing internal parts that the genuine valve blocks have. They appear identical until you take them apart. Rebuilding the original is cheap (<$10 in o-rings) and easy.

Definitely replace or rebuild the desiccant canister.

 

Rear Valve Block Changed..still issue (Suspension Fault) So maybe Front Valve Block.
Have to guess as scanner showing Network disconnect codes on everything so I'm guessing now.
FCP Euro has a Front Valve Block made by Arnott for $154
but Atlantic British sells OEM Manufacturer $289.
That seems a high price for such a part I would rather the lesser amount if its as good.
I asked mechanic to get OEM rear valve block for rear but I don't know which that is.

 

@Athana did you end up purchasing the Arnott valve block? Just curious as I need to replace my rear block. I did a rebuild on it however one of the o-rings I needed was missing from the rebuild kit . That block is such a pain in the a$$ to replace I just want to do it once - hence a new one. The Arnott or Miessler seem middle/upper grade, the OEM pricing is just nuts.. I've heard the Arnott airbags are of good quality, wondering if the block are as well. I did replace my compressor with one from Miessler and haven't had any issues since. Both will cost me around $260 CDN. Just looking for some feedback, I might create a new post for this as well.

 

Hi the two valve blocks we changed were bought by the mechanic from his sources.He knows I want OEM but not the Land Rover branded part unless we have to.So I'm not sure which he got.
If you look at Atlantic British for the OEM one which I vaguely remember it being $269 if you ask they can usually do 10% off to help make it happen.
After looking at that check out Autohaus..and Brit parts of Utah in case part is on sale.
It ended up being my compressor Hitachi which was on sale at Brit Parts Utah but though it looks genuine in Hitachi box is kind of noisy and I hope I didn't get a lemon.
The air bags we got for the front were OEM Atlantic British they were perfect..and the originals by same manufacturer lasted 200,000 miles

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately for me right now, ordering from the US is not very cost effective. The exchange rate is awful, and I don't see it improving anytime soon. $269 USD = $388 CDN right now. I've checked the others however I haven't checked Autohaus yet. If that's roughly the same then I may try the Arnott unit as it's local, and priced at $260 CDN. There's also this option from Roverland Parts, https://www.roverlandparts.com/2006-...rear-axle.aspx these are used so it's a bit of a gamble. I'm going to call them up on Monday to ask a few more questions. With conversion this would be $114 CDN + shipping, which isn't bad at all. Part of me thinks this could be a bad idea, but I'll get a better feel after talking to them.

Just checked Autohaus, price is very reasonable! Thanks for the suggestion https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/B0-RVH000055

Cheers!
