United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Buckingham Blue
L322 air suspension pipe worn through

Hi, I am losing air through a leak in one of the blue pipes on the air suspension (2005 SC). It's at the underside OSR of the car not far from the compressor. Does anyone know of a repair process rather than replacing all the pipework, as is being recommended to me?
It seems possible that one could splice in a new section or just cut the pipe at the break and fit a connector?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, exactly. Just wondering about sizing? I guess you can measure the internal and external diameters. I don't have the car here at the moment so I can't do this right away. Also, access is a bit of an issue.

Also, anyone know what the maximum air pressure is in the system when fully working?

found this :

The Range Rover L322 uses an Electronic Control Unit to control the air suspension system. An air compressor unit supplies the suspension reservoir with a maintained pressure of up to 14 bar (200psi). This air pressure is then used to inflate or deflate the air springs as required.

But not sure if that means that 14 bar is passed out to the springs

Ah. Looks like the plastic ones are not up to spec.

I did find this:-

I think they will do it on the pressure front, just need to get the right size for the piping

Yes, 6mm push fit connectors are what you are after. I bought mine from a local Compair outlet. Previously..

I have ordered the kit with a section of pipe and 2 connectors. Hopefully, that will cover any eventuality.
Accessibility will be my next issue......

The parts came today and I was able to cut out about 10mm of worn pipe and then insert one of the straight connectors.
All seems to be well! Access was a bit of an issue and I had to resort to scissors to cut the pipe as my other cutters would not reach into the available space.
