The strut hasn't 'failed' unless it's not damping or throwing a fault. You can just change the air bags which is a lot cheaper than doing the whole strut esp on the CVD dampers. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

But then you will have new bags and old struts that will faill sooner than later. Just avid arnott, bilstein or oem will be ok. |

AFAIK those codes tell you somthing is wrong with the air suspension system and not the strut ( shock absorber part) itself and the last code is to do with the compressor not venting fast enough. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Just be aware if replacing the strut that the Arnott 'CVD' struts have been shown based on evidence on here to not actually be CVD struts. 2012 (L322) 4.4TDV8 Vogue SE, RSE, Fuji White over Arabica.

The ones from Aerosus are pretty good and a lot cheaper than anywhere I could find within the UK, they also only take 48hrs to deliver! 2011 L322 Autobography - a lot of bells and some of the whistles...owner with no idea! |

Fitted a pair of Aerosus to the front of mine but looking back now I would have just replaced the bags as the old shocks were still working fine. Even though Aerosus are definatley the cheapest option it's still an expensive part so depends on how much you want to spend and how much you can DIY. Changing the whole strut is easy enough but to change the bags you need a workshop and a clean area and have a lot more time available to do the job. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
