Excellent information. Thank you. My air filter sponge was completely disintegrated and the crumbs were lying in the bottom of the canister. Thankfully there is also a wad of material in the bottom that prevents the sponge particles from entering the compressor and the control valves. I believe this collapsed filter caused the suspension warning to activate on my LR4. The compressor soon failed completely- probably due to the stress of a restricted filter. My vehicle had only very recently been serviced by a LR dealer. Obviously they did not inspect that air filter.
Hello Gerry! You're welcome ☺️ I've noticed that independent garages know more than Land Rover dealers and their garages, so I'm not surprised that they didn't change the filter. I hope your LR4 or your air suspension works better now! All the best and many greetings! 👈
Hi Jason! No, I wasn't aware of the filter, even though I had been engaged with the Discovery 4 - at least in theory - for a long time before I bought it. I'm very pleased that you like the videos! For videos and pictures that are not so long, you can also visit my Instagram channel ☺️ All the best, Peter
I have subscribed. there is no way I could not subscribe. this content is so amazing. I am in the process of buying a 2016 Discovery 4 SE. Pretoria, South Africa
Hey, thanks for the info, I had to check right away! In my case, however, only the sponge is in this container. Do you happen to know what the spare part number of this felt is? Thank you and best regards, Peter
@@notthatkindofachannel put your finger inside the tube after you remove the sponge and if you feel the hole on the bottom of the tube then you dont have the felt. If you find the felt remove it whit the tip of the screwdriver or tweezer. That felt can be washed and dried whit a towel. ( that is what i did). I dont know the part number for that. I did what i saw in your video and by curiosity i checked to see if the inside of the tube is clean and i founded the felt.🤣
Land Rover listed all these unnecessary steps to gain access to this Air Filter. They also listed no Part number for the Air Compressor Intake Filter either. Thanks for sharing this important information.
@@notthatkindofachannel The way Land Rover listed all this convoluted information about this concealed Air Filter, makes me wonder if they were hiding something.
I used to be a parts manager for LR and others and we had a theory that the manuals were written by engineers who had failed elsewhere in the company 😢
I tried washing the air suspension filter with water a few years ago, it desintegrated the moment the water touched it. I think it's better to replace it or try cleaning it with compressed air.
Hallo Peter Vielen Dank für dieses und auch deine anderen Videos! Ich habe vor kurzem meinen Kompressor ausgetauscht und natürlich auch den Ansaugfilter gewaschen. Nun meine Frage: Weisst du was der Plastiktank nach dem Filter und vor dem Kompressor für eine Aufgabe hat? Lieber Gruss aus der Schweiz 😊
This is the first time I have found out about such a filter. Foam disintigrates and turns to powder after a few years - so - personally I would replace this filter every couple of years at every major service.
Yes, this filter is pretty well hidden. Mine was like new after a wash with lukewarm water and soap. But I don't think replacing the filter will cost anyone anything either.
Hello @M Virdi! Unfortunately, I don't currently know whether the L405 has such a filter or where it could be installed. But I will have a look and let you know if I find it! :)
yo man wher you from, im new to the channel. ive been watching lots of DIY videos about the air suspension. but is this same filter on the LR3. as i can see that the LR4 engine is waaaaaaaay different. for me this would be a great refference video. good job either way gee. but let me know
@Land Rover 3 : Since there is not that much dirt or dust in the side pockets of the trunk, I think washing it with warm water and a little soap is enough. Otherwise, this sponge would not cost much. So it depends on what you prefer 😉☺️
Hey Ash, you're welcome! ☺️ I really have to say that I've never heard of the air suspension failing because the air suspension intake filter was dirty. But I still clean it every year like any other filter. Greetings from Graz, Peter
Hey, I'm sorry, but I don't have a link for the replacement sponge. But you can use any filter sponge, e.g. one for the air filter of an air compressor. All the best, Peter
Hi! I’ve sent you a msg on your Instagram account, I can’t locate the suspension air filter, any part number we can find? Im in the usa and dealerships don’t know what am I asking for :(
Hey, I’m sorry but I don’t have a part number for the sponge. Do you have a meridian sound system? In some cars there is the amplifier in this position if I’m not mistaken. Best, Peter
to be honest this is my first time seeing a RR that looks like a LR3 ....hope I find one cause im looking for a new LR and are RR but god forbid not the newer models they are junk. in fact all the ones made before john wicks ,ones are the shit. after the movie they all suck
@@notthatkindofachannel midrange Harman Kardon (US) HSE. The LUX here has the 700+ system. I did open her up thinking I probably should do this. Just need to remove that factory sub. Don't think I have the 17 speaker system. Pretty sure the dash speaker center channel is empty. I'll remove the sub soon since I have an amp and subs from the BMW I sold to get this. Need to think it out though since I want to build your platform! I overland this rig and what I bought her for. Gave up my 1995 D1 3.9 for this. No regrets. Way more comfortable with power to handle all my added gear weight. D1 was getting 5 mpg US. Hurt the pockets a lot
I have the rear aircon blower in that position on my 2010 SE it makes it impossible to easily get to the filter, you can't even see it or get a finger on it.
@@plasmaDave the workaround for us in the US is to remove the entire side panel and either ac or the Subwoofer. At some point I'll get to that myself. Not in a rush to remove my front runner drawer setup
Nope... Never knew it was in there.. Guess what I'm away to check and clean now... Thanks for the tip.. Great channel, keep up the good work sir.. 👍
@beenzer Thanks 🙏🏻 I think the most people didn’t know this, me neither 😉

No previous knowledge of this filter, thanks another job for the weekend
Thanks for the tip mate!!!
Unfortunately it’s been too late. My sponge filter was completely dried and needed to be replaced!
@angelo You’re welcome! Oh, I'm sorry, but thank goodness the sponge isn't too expensive 👍🏻
Where can I get the sponge?
I knew there was an air filter for the air compressor but I didn't realise it was located there. Thanks very much 👍😊
You’re welcome! Glad I could help ☺️
I do not see this filter anywhere on the service schedule so how often does it need to be changed ?
Hey! I wash this filter once a year when I change all the other filters in the car.
I didn't even know a LR had a trunk and I used to be a LR parts manager 😂
yes yes ....i can see where you are now....we do have one in the LR3
No i did not know like so many land rover lr3 / lr4 owners nice to learn some hidden points of interest
Thank you very much I really appreciate!
That was first I knew of filter for compressor in boot. 4 yrs I have had my d3. Loving your videos Peter. Just joined. 👌👍

Suspension filter was new to me. Thanks for the video!
@Matt Winter Glad I could help! 😊
Thank you so much for the tip!. I LOVE your videos!. Congratulations!
Thanks 🙏🏻☺️
Thanks, I also didn't know about that filter 🙈
i had no idea on the filter at the back ! great videos and love for land rovers!
It was the same with me 😉 It's a well-kept secret 😄
Very helpful!!! This video is definitely appreciated
Gretings from Romania ! It is not only the sponge, under the sponge is a 1cm of felt which is the real filter.

Btw Peter, my sponge was destroyed and i replace it whit a dish washer sponge, cutted round. The sponge is only a prefilter.
If you dont find the felt made by LR, you can go and buy this( must be in some store in your country) and u can fabricate one. Is a very simple craft.
Yotube fault, i cant send u a link. The felt can be fabricated from a polishing disc.
Awesome!!! Thanks man. Love the channel.
Thanks mate, I really appreciate! 🙏🏻

Hi David, yes this secret was really well kept. You’re welcome! All the best, Peter
@@notthatkindofachannel The way Land Rover listed all this convoluted information about this concealed Air Filter, makes me wonder if they were hiding something.
I was also wondering why this is not mentioned in any Land Rover workshop manual for the D4. Only LR knows why...
@@notthatkindofachannel In my Workshop manual it is mentioned and drawn but only in passing really and it makes no mention of how to remove etc
I used to be a parts manager for LR and others and we had a theory that the manuals were written by engineers who had failed elsewhere in the company 😢
Hi Peter, thank you for the mention in the video.if you manage to get down to the Land Rover Party in Spain it would be good to meet up.

Schande über mich. Seit 10 Jahren weiß ich nicht das hinten der Luftfilter für den Kompressor ist. Muss ich morgen sofort reinigen. Danke Peter
@Walter Gabauer Ich glaube das ist eines der bestgehüteten Geheimnisse des Discovery 3 und 4 :D

Is the filter located in the same place for north American models?
Hi please tell me about L405 air compressor filter location.

I imagine it's the same for the Discovery 3, nice video footage. Do you recommend changing it or cleaning it would suffice.

Does a dirty compressor filter cause a normal height only fault alert?
Thank you for your videos.

Thanks for the video, much appreciated. Would you happen to know the part number for the Air Suspension Air Intake Filter for LR4 2010?
Hey! I'm sorry, but I don't know what the part number of this sponge is. If you find out in the meantime, please let me know! Peter
Is there a link for a replacement of the air intake filter to the suspension? the hidden one?
Hey, I'm sorry, but I don't have a link for the replacement sponge. But you can use any filter sponge, e.g. one for the air filter of an air compressor. All the best, Peter

Beats me why they didn’t put the desiccant in the same place.
Haha, it’s simple: because it’s Land Rover 🤣Best, Peter

great, unless you have an HSE and the air conditioner fan is in the way... 🤬
It's also an HSE, but with fewer options. Have you also installed a Meridian surround system?
@notthatkindofachannel I just bought a 2016 HSE and there's sound stuff in the way 😞
This looked easy. I have a factory sub in that location. Has to be removed to get the o that filter 🫤
