Yip... If you google air compressors, compressed air etc in your area you will find a company that will sell them over the counter. They are relatively common. I used www.compressedaironline.co.uk as they had a local branch.

The pipe has worn through in just one spot, so I'm juggling between putting a complete replacement pipe in or just a short section to replace the affected pipe (with two inline connectors). |

The complete replacement part is LR018434 "pipe - air inlet"nwhich comprises all 3 air hoses from the compressor.

Replacing the complete line looks a bit of a faf compared to the inline connector route, but if you are not sure the connector can handle the pressure then for peace of mind it's the way to go. My problem was an original fitting from landrover failed, so the fact that they use inline fittings must mean they are available.

The part from Dan is the three preformed air lines with the rubber grommet attached which fits into the wheel well. I'm hoping that the leaking hose is the shortest one - but I was in the car up on the ramp keeping the compressor going so that they could find the leak and so did not see which one it was! |
