I need a air compressor and 2 air springs for rear. I have bought a spring kit to replace air suspension. I will have no problem fitting springs but can someone tell me how the air springs are removed.

Many thanks

To change from air to springs you really need a conversion kit from paddocks or a landy spares suppliers because you need a spring seat.To remove the air bag remove the air pipe and then slide the 2 spring clips off on the top then force any air out then turn the air bag to remove it off the axle and job done.

also worth noting that if it is a 7 seater it HAS to have the rear air springs - for the disco II to comply with EC regulations ONLY models with rear air suspension can have 7 seats.

Thanks for all advice. Forgot to ask, Is there a fuse I can remove to put out the light on dash and stop power to compressor or do I remove bulb and remove multiplug. Save me the cost and hassel of putting on Testbook.

regards
Walter

Who told you that?

I've done 7 seat conversions and fitted genuine LR uprated coils that they supply for the job.

Think 7 seaters were only type approved with SLS,and 5 seaters had coils with SLS as an option.
