been a diesel and large engine mech all my life, your foil idea is new to me bravo, I am in Buderim and you are one of one in 10000 who call a screw a screw, most say bolt, which drives me nuts
Just completed this today using the video. Was too difficult to pull black hose out of connector at 5:22 but realised could just unscrew the connector very easily so did that. Also had Trouble removing one of the torx screws to access the bead chamber so had to remove compressor from the mounting plate to get access. Not seeing the the access height only fault yet so fingers crossed. Although it seems to be taking a longer time to raise now? Suspension fault came on upon first start up and front wasn’t raising but then disconnected battery and now raising and lowering. Just slow in raising though. The top mounting bolt was tricky but I was able to start the bolt by hand without cutting the slot in the mounting bracket as I didn’t have tools to cut it. Great video thanks. Hopefully saves me over $2000 quoted to get the compressor replaced.
Thanks very much, what a difference and no suspension faults as at 1 hour later, but I know 1 hour in DIY is a long time. Great tip about the top bolt slot cut out. What a nightmare that would have been as hands will no go in there.
Excellent video. Thanks mate. Did you have any torque specs for those air line bolts. Also did you just plug the hose into the black filter intake? I will be checking my one in a week or two. Bought Disco 3 Feb this year, the compressor was built on 2013, I am expecting it hasnt been changed since 2013!
I like the use of the aluminium foil. Great idea. Mine is also 7 years old. Those beads did not look too bad in yours. The new beads looked to be bigger though. Did you buy a service kit with new O rings as well?
Any chance you could link us to Shane’s video? Or Channel at least? I’d love more detail on that slot cut, assume you just cut it with the compressor just there mounted
I removed the compressor from the Aluminium bracket, and cut the Ally brkt out from 10 oclock to 11 oclock as you look at it. worked a treat. But only as wide as the hole already there.
Why on earth did LR locate the compreesor in such a crappy location. They could have put it in one of the side cubbyholes in the interior. Do you have any thoughts about relocating it? They could have at least located the dessicator at the intake in the cubby hole!
After literally screwing around for almost an hour trying to get the top mounting bolt undone, I realized it will never come out due to the nut/clip being broken and spinning inside the frame. Another way to remove pump - loosen bottom fasteners on mounting bracket, and just easily unscrew the (3) pump mounts from the bracket and slide out. My beads were totally caked powder on one end.
Very helpful video, thank you, I would have expected the beads to be in worse condition than they were.
Great video I have a donloop Compressor, but this will extremely helpful for someone who has AMK

Great video, just about to replace mine in the next couple of days. Thankyou for doing this.

Few hours later and after a decent drive car is no longer slow to raise. Feeling good.
Thanks for the video, I’ve just ordered my kit for the compressor and o-ring kit for the valve blocks.
Where did you order from
@@uzoechisamuel 4x4 air seals in the UK.

Bolt slot cut out!
Foil for openings…..brilliant!
Is AMK the facelift compressor fitted to ‘15 onwards?
Fantastic job!

What symptoms did you have on the disco?

Yep , it’s a basic service kit for the amk from 4x4airseals

Does anyone know how the part number for replacement bracket bolts as 2 of the 3 of them rounded off
Great job

Amigo, eu gostaria de saber se tem possibilidade de adaptação de um compressor AMK em uma Discovery originalmente compressor HITACHI.
Foil is genius
Did you really have to dismount the whole pump? It looks like the dessicator would come off without doing all that.
You can get them out without removing , but getting enough of them them to stay in when putting it back together …. That’s your challenge
