In my 2011 Range Rover Sport L320, my suspension air compressor died after 13 years of service. This model year was still equipped with the older Hitachi type air compressors. The newer models come with German-made AMK compressors, but the connectors and mounting brackets for the AMK compressor are not compatible with the Hitachi compressor. I had two options: either buy the much more expensive AMK compressor along with the conversion kit or stick with the reliable and much cheaper Hitachi, avoiding the need to replace the air lines. I chose the latter.

Unfortunately, during installation, we discovered that the compressor mounting bracket was broken, the bushing was severely worn out, and the outtake air line was damaged. I ordered all parts on eBay, and once they arrive, we will replace them as well.
