Having been in the same situation I would say the air strut is leaking. Replace both as you will have one new strut and one old so the car will handle badly.

Sounds to me like ignoring it has probably done more damage! cars don't tend to fix themselves! |

Sounds like a leaky front left bag to me... It's the most common side/end to go. Replace in pairs, shouldn't take more than half an hour per side if the hub-to-strut bolts come out ok. I think you get the ABS/DSC faults as the strut is failing to supply/apply sufficient pressure to support the car, so the wheel speed can soon lose sync with the rest of the car leading to the fault thrown. You need to be sure that the EAS is not in hard fault mode, or else you won't be able to fill the new struts with wind... There are two or three aftermarket suppliers, I fitted Delphi' s, they seem fine, about £300 per front corner. I understand that Delphi are the OEM supplier anyway. I think there a wiki for changing the strut? |

The DELPHI are at: island4x4, they have shipping costs from only 10GBP + VAT = round 14 Euro, you can buy there all parts to good conditions, sometimes I ordered 20 brake discs for clients, only paid 10 GBP shipping for 10 packages together ! The fault you must read at the tester, then you will decide...
