While driving home with a loaded trailer behind the P38, the rear left airbag blew. All airbags were replaced 2 years ago. Are there heavy duty airbags to be had?

Arnott air springs used to have a lifetime guarantee - dunno if they still do.

Were you carrying too much nose weight? Air springs shouldn't let go but they can be punctured like anything else inflatable. If driving over gravel etc stones can get trapped in folds of the springs - not that common but possible.

There are plenty of HGVs with similar springs, perhaps it was just mis-manufactured and you were unlucky? I don't see why you shouldn't just replace it with a new Dunlop.

Arnott bags have never had a lifetime warranty in this country only in the states i think.

Check that you do not have an exhaust blow.
