I took the dog to the vets this morning where she was put to sleep and on the way back self levelling and air suspension inactive on dash  had that reset and this afternoon it's back on again and I found a hole in drivers side air bag
So it looks like my first couple of weeks owning are going to be expensive

"Pattern" parts are available from Paddock Motors www.paddockspares.com.

Delphi OE for £270.00 + VAT, much cheaper than a dealer.

Sorry to hear about the dog

Thanks for the headsup Paul 

Really sorry to hear about your dog.
It kind of puts your worries with your Range Rover into perspective.

I know you have to fit in pairs If it was your own car would you change the rears at the same time

No, the rears are more durable and last longer, (and cheaper)

sorry about the dog...

at 270+ VAT each i would be very tempted to just replace the faulty bag....  2004 black Vogue TD6

unlike normal steel suspension there is no reason to change air springs in pairs, but i would say it is good practise to do so. obviously if you are going to replace a pair, keep the good one as a spair for a rainy day.

as a dog lover and owner, i know how hard your loss must be!! Current: TDV8 (3.6) RRS HSE

I did mine a few weeks ago. The Delphi strut assemblies I bought had integral dampers (shock absorbers) so I'd suggest you do need to replace them in pairs as their function will have deteriorated over time. If you are going to just replace the bladder then you can probably get away with one. However, my RR had done over 100k miles on it's original struts so I felt it was time to replace.

I inclined to agree mine also has just over 100k too I might just bite the bullet and get them all done
Do the job once and get it over with at least then fingers crossed it should be ok for a bit lol
Thanks for the kind comments about the dog shes gone but not forgotten

Don't waste your money doing the rears

when mine went i was told for some reason it always seems to be the front offside/drivers side that goes so maybe just replace the one if its the same one thats gone on yours "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

Funnily enough it was hehe
I have just replaced the two fronts cost £598 Inc of vat for the parts and 2.5 hrs of my time doing it myself
But now it sits level again thank god

Thanks all for your input time to go back to lurking fingers crossed that's the end of the problems for the moment lol
