- In this video we show how to replace the air suspension reservoir tank on a Land Rover Discovery 3 but this is the same for the Land Rover Discovery 4 (LR4) and the Range Rover Sport from 2005 to 2012. If your air tank underneath your car is rusty then this could be the video you need to watch. The part number for the air suspension tank cylinder is RQN500070. As always work safe and make sure you have the car well supported and wear eye protection.

You are all such a big help to us on the other side of the pond. Redoing an LR3 and your videos are so helpful in tackling the issues at hand. Many thanks!
Great video, credit to you lads for doing these and helping the diyers. Like most jobs on older vehicles, seized fixing make a simple job a challenge.
How have I just only found your channel some great uploads for the landy rovers thumbs up
Thank you gents from Kuwait. Really helped with replacing the tank’s Voss connector.
Super ! glad it helped ... stay cool ( if you can )
Thank you from Russia! This video was very helpful for me with same problem
You are most welcome !
Very good I think is much better if do underneath paint 🎨 as well. But still very good work.
Yes lots of comments about the rust on the underside !
Great job looks good, does the desiccant need replacing so you don't get water in the new tank
They sounds like the chuckle bros to me to you to me to you 🤣

Urrrgh! You should tighten the reducing bush into the tank before you attach the pipe, and the pipe union should pinch the olive down to grip the pipe, now you have wrung it's neck it will not be a sealed joint into the tank, you are lucky it did not twist the plastic pipe off. It might also be a good idea to steam clean the chassis and spray on a good coat of Waxoyl,that will soak into the layer of rust and stop further corrosion, do not think of spaying underseal on a chassis in this condition, it will quietly rust away under the underseal and fail, whereas the Waxoyl soaks into the rust and stops it.
Yes this was pointed out to me about the olive above...normally in plumbing i have come across the solid olive this split olive was a new one to me !
If you're going to scrap the tank, just drill a hole in it. Releasing tank pressure doesn't make the suspension go down. Grind the locating tang off the rear tank bracket on the old and new tanks.
When fitting the new voss conector , you dont need to remove the conector. Just remove the white plug and just push the line in. Tight at maximum 7-10 Nm torque and you are done .
Personally, my top recommendation would be to use copper slip or some form of ant-seize compound on all bolts/threads when resembling. I have a pot of the stuff by me whenever I'm working on my vehicles and have done so for over 35 years, not only can you easily undo things many years later, the nuts and bolts seem to be a lot less prone to coming loose from vibration. Unfortunately, I have never seen even so-called pro garages do this so I end up having to do most the work myself.
The reason i would encourage people to fix their cars themselves are exactly this....
1) save money
2) you understand your car better
3) you can clean / use copper grease and check all items while repairing
4) Good for your self esteem... this actually improves your mental health.
5) People who fix cars themselves tend to keep cars longer and buy less new cars.... good for the environment.
So i hope my videos help people with their car fixing.
@@L663 All good solid reasons and keep up the good work.
I've lived in the UK and one of the many things that I don't miss is the corrosion damage that the climate and road de-icing salt damage to the underside of vehicles. The corrosion and general decay on this vehicle is appalling (by Australian standards). If you want a feather soft ride, then get a car. Do we really need all this gadgetry, plumbing, extra weight and expense? I have adjustable shock absorbers on two land rover defenders and have found that to be more than adequate. Good video though for those who have made the decision to deal with all of this.
Awesome video but please give that lovely Disco a good was underneath 😂😂😂
Wow
Does the compressor first sen air to the reservoir and after that to the dampers?
do you have these on the site?
My tank didn't come with the new smaller vos connector with the olive, can I just take the whole thing out and srew it in to the new tank?
Great vid. Many thanks. Has the L494 have an air tank please ?
Yes it does but i think they are made from aluminium now and are much more resistant to rusting !
I’m amazed the tank hasn’t got a drain plug, would be so simple.
Should have left the air pipe "small" connector loose within the "big connector to allow it to turn freely and then tighten up the small one at end.
Good video. Wouldn't it have been better to sandblast the underside before putting all these nice new parts on ?
Definitely not, the damage that would cause is unthinkable but a thorough steam clean and the application of some rust converter and ant-corrosion paint/sealant would be an absolute must do job.
@@jonh9561 when was sandblasting rust a bad thing? come on
Man where was the car stored? The titanic?
She has some rust for sure ! Need to look at painting the underside !
powerfulukltd love the videos, keep them up
I love your videos but,
Why is it that you didn't clean that under car before working on it? It's such a mess.
Several reasons....
1) I dont have a decent pressure washer... mine is broken
2) i dont have ramps to get it up to wash underneath
3) I need to get the car safe to drive then its off to the pressure wash !
Do you think you would ever do a video on painting the underside?
I have thought about this.... first i need to buy a pressure washer... they i need to look at the options for undersealing with something !
powerfulukltd ah right. I use hammerite Underseal it’s brilliant stuff, almost like tar.
@@L663 Go to a guy who does MOT hot washing, £15 & it's clean, better than you can ever do it yourself.
Simon, Do not paint with a solid paint type underseal, unless the chassis is sandblasted back to clean metal it will corrode twice as fast as it would in open air, use an oil/wax based waxoyl type spray on, it will halt corrosion, just think what the metalwork is like around the gearbox and axles, like new under the oily crud. And yes, a heavy goods MOT station will point you in the direction of a steam cleaner, all HGVs need it to pass their MOT, and you don't get covered in crud. Chris B.
powerfulukltd I would have a chat with the guys at buzzweld, their products are awesome
Hi, I know this was a few years ago but I'm hopeing somebody will see this and reply 😂, once you have changed the tank do you just start the car and the air tank refills on its own from the pump or do you have to do anything else?
Just start it up and it will sort it all out
@@simonjefferson perfect, thank you 👌
I would imagine the pressure in the reservoir is quite high therefore quite an oversight to start the removal before safely depressurising.
You are correct.... but as you can see in my case there was no pressure... but for you darlings out there i thought i would show this..
“I think I’m sitting on my nuts and bolts” I hate when thst happens
Why is it when you on your back under the car you cant find your tools even though you have just put them down !
Ouhhhh Bro use a presure clener next time... How you can work on dirty car us this.
Rag it out, go old school spring this puppy.
Not a bad idea but i am trying to make a series of videos to help people fix their Disco as well...
Give the job to a mechanic not a butcher.
I am a vegan ! no butchery here buddy !
Awesome video but please give that lovely Disco a good was underneath 😂😂😂
