Got my 2004 Disco and the bloke must have sold it because of suspension slowly going down, takes a day. So replaced with Dunlop ones from Paddock, all good, 50 miles later both have blown at top, resulting in nasty experience on road then another 10 miles to get home with no suspension. Any ideas? Paddock sending me another that I had to pay for until they work out if its a faulty one, only just found out both have gone GGRRR. Any help would be much appreciated as I am about to order another, but if its something else causing the air to suddenly go, could I wreck another 2 bags?

When you say the bags have gone, what exactly has happened, has the bag blown up or has the hose come out the fitting etc?

A mechanic put them on.

It looks like the rubber material at the top has been pulled down on the one side below the metal ring holding the material in place. Its either a faulty batch or the suspension dropped that quickly that the material moved to the side as the suspension came down forcing the material away from the top?

mate of mine had same problem with new bags. clips that hold bags on not fitted properly if they refuse warrenty make sure you get the old bags back. Take the clip of, you have to drill it and split. if it,s assembled wrong you can clearly see were the clip has missed the bag

Clips looked fine, they did cover the material, but maybe not tight enough?
