Ok so there isn't a collar. These are replacement units from Paddock spares and it seems there is no way of removing the pipe once fitted. I had to cut the pipe to get the unit back off for some welding 
Anyone know what can be done or do I need another unit. Will try Paddock tomorrow and see what they say.

you should have unscrewed that nut there cos it has an "olive" connection, that's not a push fit one, scroll down to the 8'th pic here http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Rear Air Springs.html

that's very strange as Paddocks are selling the same dunlop or conti stuff like others...IMO you are doing something wrong there

The ones originally fitted to the Discovery at the factory have the screw fitting.
Depending on the ones you have bought, you either need to retain the brass fitting or cut it off. Seems you cut it off before looking at your new ones.
The Dunlop ones supplied by Paddocks and others have a push fit, where the supplied fitting instructions inform you to cut the brass fitting off and push the pipe fully home.
Hardly the fault of Paddocks

Bloody suppliers with their bloody parts fitting and working.....
how dare they!
how dare they!
well the photo is of the new item. There is no collet to compress and the nut seems sealed. When I fitted it I simply pushed the pipe in as the instructions directed. So I am totally at a loss but on phoning them they said it could not be dissassembled.
