Disco Series2 air suspension?

DiscoLass said:

My Disco is now 9 years old, in that time I've had 4 air suspension Compressors, average life expectancy just over 2 years. Does anyone know if that's normal?

Over the same period I've had to have both the rear rubber air springs replaced once, also both sensors once, at different times to the compressors.

Any views/opinions welcome.

thanks DL

As u know when the car is on level the compressor must rest....investigate this....IMO for some reason the compressor is overworking itself / working when it shouldnt....they are not heavy duty. Are u sure u dont have any leaks in the system?....the exhaust valve or somethin

So are you saying the car will lower slightly when parked up for any length of time? I ask this because my recently aquired disco does seem to be a tad low at the back after an overnight spell.. as soon as i start up she raises straight back up though? Good or bad?

Not good, find out where the leak is using soapy water on springs and within the compressor housing ....if u cant see any obvious leak then replace both springs ASAP(they have the "ability" to seal themselves sometimes).......otherwise there is the risk to lose the compressor too.
