Hi battenberg, great article, can you help me please. I have a 53 disco 2 which sinks on drivers side. I assume airbag but garage thinks ride height sensor. In your opinion would that cause car to sink one side? Thanks for any info. Phil.

Thanks for th e very helpful info, just have one question, Do I need to have my sls turned off before relacing my air suspension?

Hi,
I have been using your guide to the air sus on my disco 2, I have a fault now that does not seem to fit your guide, my disco sinks a to the ground over a couple of days on both sides, but when you start the engine and close all the doors it comes back up to the correct ride hight quickly. my question is do you think this is the compressor or valve blocks? Any advice would be a great help.
Thanks
Liam

Hi,
Your instruction and guide was VERY helpful an air suspension, thanks! Basically the suspension collapsed on one side (Drivers). The car was taken to a garage who said that the air bag had failed. I fitted new bags according to your instructions. However, the bags inflate but the car will not jack up. The suspension is now level but will not rise on start up OR rise to "off road" height. I have checked the valveblock and both solenoids are working. It seems that the compressor does not have enough power to lift the car. Is this normal (2000 model 53000 miles)? When the compressor runs on start up, the car does not lift, hence I suspect the compressor is worn out.. Any feedback will be MUCH appreciated! Do I need to "trick the computer into thinking the car is not level? I have tried releaseing all the pressure and starting again - this does not work. I have tried jacking the chsssis right up and pumping but this does not work.

I have been looking for a 300 tdi, 7 seater,manual for ages without luck. my budget is limited to under £2k and the good ones have either gone or whats left is crap.

I came across one on the for sale section of ladnyzone but its based in harbourne quite a distance from me so I wondered if you knew of someone who would have a quick look for me ( i'm certainly no expert )

its a 95 and according to the owner

..going fot the mot on thursday so if there are any probs then it will show up then , its had a fair amount of money spent on it and mechanically its a sound buy , the guy who had it before me kept all the receipts and he had it serviced by the main dealer ( colliers ) regular , its had no previous welding ....the rear sills ( rear passenger door sills ) are good . and the cam belt was changed at 138,000 , i rang the guy who owned it before and checked

he is asking £2250 which seems a bit steep

cheers
