well it passed its mot last friday - only advisory was a slight oil leak and rusty springs.
am debating whether to put it back on air suspension - ordered 4 dunlop air bags and the compressor and tank and air pipes are still there but no height sensors. I can buy non genuine sensors but cant find anyone that sells the short harness as it looks like the existing plugs on the main harness will not reach - do i need short leads for all 4 sensors or just the front 2 ?
Other question is should there be short interconnecting air pipes for the front 2 airbags because the 2 blanked off front airbag pipes look a little short to me.
I also assume the airbags with the plastic top and bottom mounts fit direct - I have seen some youtube vids where the top of the front airbags have an aluminium top hat affair with a circular thick castellated rubber gasket between the top of the airbag and the alloy top hat ? Has anyone got any good 2nd hand height sensor looms to sell ?
 
To the best of my knowledge there is no extra bit of loom needed, more likely that the connectors have been tied up out of the way. The sensors have wires attached
Suggest you have a look at the "wiring diagram" for the air lines.
My bags have plastic tops and bottoms no idea about others
