am thinking maybe a layer of damp-course
Damp-Proof-CourseDPC?

If the steel/Ali come in contact through movement inevitable it would degrade.
Paints no good will rub off, dpc could work.
What about sticking some foam/sponge to it like layer of bump stop?
its fairly likely not a replacement part issue but fitting ie feed pipe connectionHi All, I have a 2012 Range Rover Autobiography L322 and I have had a split in one of the air suspension bags. I tried replacing just the bags (aftermarket) but they didn't seal to the strut properly and when turning they let all the air out. I then found a set that came complete with the strut which after fitting I seem to be having the same issue. Has anyone replaced their air suspension bags and can recommend a set? Or does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance
I had to Google Voss connector but I think you are right and that is what they are.

which ever first time fit is a guarantee later are unfortunately risky as they all work on compression,and once compressed it might not fully again, a bit of rtv sealant can help with thatIndeed, alas don’t know what type of fitting these struts have , but know when I first had mine there were a lot of leaks and mainly on fittings

we at least up till now doing very well thank you ,lol you have more kit than i doHi @jamesmartin
hope all is well
this is what I put together to find leaks, I don’t think there wasn’t one fitting that wasnt either cross threaded or leaking
found using a hand vacuum pump that u normally use on brakes very handy , including to test valve blocks to ensure the O ring seals were doing there job and not letting by , all 3 x valves blocks were faulty
saved a lot of time being able to test components before fitting them onto the disco
hope this will be useful to others
Did made sure I tested the equipment first before using it as I didn’t want a false reading

Good to hear ur keeping safe and well buddy
Who me, never, just utilised what I already had, well that’s my excuse , lol
made life a lot easier by being able to test each line one by one, by capping them off and pulling a vacuum first then putting them under pressure , got caught out on one , as when I moved the pipe the connector leaked , found the end of the pipe was rough , so cut the end of the pipe off square and all sorted
Think it was having the mindset from my plumbing/ heating days of testing underfloor heatings systems, gas pipes etc
Like that.
Yes, same principle as plumbing, any imperfections near the joint are a path for a leak. Fine grit wet and dry might take out an small scratch but fresh pipe better if there is enough spare.
