Compressor removal

Does anyone know if it’s possible to remove the compressor mounted under the spare wheel but still be able to use the car, I know that the suspension will be inactive but other than that will it give me any other issues???? also has anyone found a service kit for the compressor??? I’ve googled the Wabco part no. but can’t find anything??

I would say most certainly not, it will not be usable in any meaningful sense. Loss of suspension will take with it most other dynamic safety systems, make it ride like a pig. You could limp along for a little while, but certainly not use it as normal! Maybe somebody will have a compressor you can borrow or something! Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

with no air in the system , the range will go onto its bump stops and you wont be able to drive it like that.. ... - .- -.

Just tried it out, the system appears to retain the air already in the system it just doesn't replenish any (obviously) so as long as you're not asking for up and down adjustments it could be ok? I’m not going to risk it though, I thought I could take the compressor out and service it but it has now miraculously repaired it’s self. was getting a “suspension fault, normal height only” fault!

Rolling with laughter it’s going to wait and lull me into a false sense of security then fail spectacularly in a cloud of nuts and bolts!
