My Jag specialist has told me that the suspension compressor is on the way out on my XJ8. I'm aware that rebuild is an option, however I have a friend with a spare unit from a land rover discovery. My understanding is that it's essentially the same Wabco pump, my question is - can a unit from a discovery be fitted "as is" to a 2003 XJ8? Any adaptations required? Anyone on here ever done this successfully? The disco compressor would certainly be the cheapest option for me as it's free!

 

I personally have never heard of this, however Jaguar and Land Rover parts are very similar these days, if not the same in some cases.


What year is the Discovery, I assume this is a Disco 3 or Disco 4??

 

I think the Disco is a 2006 - guess that would make it a 3?

 

I don't have access to parts catalogue, but doing google search they do look a little different.


You may need to take the one on your XJ out ( can take out in about 10 minutes through wheel arch liner ) and compare it. Since they are located in different areas between the 2 vehicles, some modifying may need to be done.
