Default ### Free air compressor repair kit prize draw###

This is a FREE PRIZE DRAW for owners of 2004 - 2009 Air Suspension equipped Jaguar cars.

Forum member Bagpiping Andy has kindly offered to donate 2 Air Compressor repair kits to be used as prizes in a Prize Draw for these cars.


Quote:

The kit of parts I provide consists of: Precision machined PTFE piston ring

2 x new bolts with thread lock pre-applied

5 x cable ties

1x rubber o-ring

Printed guide/instructions how to fit the piston ring with photos to help
A little about Andy: A professional aerospace toolmaker machinist, he also enjoys fixing and making things in his spare time.

These kits are manufactured by him in his home workshop using his lathe and milling machine.


Quote:

One question that pops up from interested people is where do I get the parts & what is the part

number?

I actually manufacture the piston ring on a lathe and a universal milling machine which I have in my

garage at home. I purchased the lathe and mill for small hobbies as I always had an interest in fixing

things, some ideas not so successful but the compressor kit is definitely one of the more successful

Solutions. I buy in the material in lengths of bar, get it into my garage, and out at the other end

comes a precision machined piston ring. I have been a toolmaker machinist since 1995 working for

major aerospace companies in the UK, and enjoy fixing and making things.
You can find a fully descriptive pdf document here in the forum Mediafire Download section. Bagpipingandy & the Compressor.

Default Nice Job

With the regularity of compressor and suspension issues that are posted this should be an excellent solution.

Superb.......A big thank you to Richard ro running this pormo and also a Huge "Thank you" to Andy for his generosity in putting these up for grabs.

A fantastic prize that will help owners to enjoy trouble free suspension systems for quite a while longer.

As it so happens my 05 pump is on it's way out. This forum has been very helpful with my 91 XJS and now the XJ8 for helpful advise. Thank you.
