    Disco air suspension

    Just to echo that, this is the easiest job to do at home, im no mechanic and took longer to get the alloy wheel released off the hub than it took to change the 2 bags. My problem now is Im sure the drivers side sits a tad lower than the other side, I can live with it though.
