Drat, drat and tripple drat!!!

Thought fatty was looking a bit lop sided after being parked for a while, just discovered leak on n/s front air bag!! Fortunately it seems to be in a place where it's very very slow on normal height, good job as needed tomorrow! Drives:

Just don't leave it too long or you will burn the pump out....

Easy DIY job if you want to save a few quid...

Island 4x4 seem the cheapest for bits...

You should really change the pair as the shock absorber gets replaced as well, don't save a few quid and buy the Dunlops, they are not as good and don't last as long as the OE Delphi's... Thumbs Up Pete

Thanks, warning noted! It takes a good while to drop when it's parked up, found it by raising to max.

I will do both, makes sense and thanks for the heads up re. the Delphi's. I might not have time to DIY, it's got it's MOT on Thurs. Shame, because it's a nice satisfying type of job. I'll see, I'm assuming it won't fail MOT on that (especially if they don't notice it!). Drives:

If they notice it, it "should" fail but that's subjective.... Thumbs Up Pete

Parked it up well over an hour ago on normal height and it's still level. I don't think they'll spot it, unless it get suddenly much worse of course, might have to take the chance. Drives:

Worth a try, but they should jack it on the ramps and that may reveal the leak. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

True, but I guess I've still got a week to get it retested, so if it fails I could get the struts done over next weekend then bang it back in the following week.

For all the RR naysayers out there, all I've had done in 9 years ownership from 39k to 95k on this '03 car is a replacement radiator, a header tank (stupid plastic things), 2 top hoses, a cracked o/s catalytic converter, one suspension arm and now this. Guess the biggy's are just around the corner!!

Edit: forgot the ubiquitous front calliper replacement! Drives:
