Done 90000 miles on original front and rear airbags - but just polling the good people here for the mileage that people experienced failure at for Front or Rear bags?

Howard, I don't think mileage has much to do with it, when my front one went the bag looked fine and didn't seem to be that old, it was a Dunlop so defo the second bag at least, had about 130,000 miles then...

My front right went at about 145k, looked original. The front left had already been replaced. (Front left was a lot harder to remove the bolts too!) |

Just sold MY02 with 131k and all original bags. Put the FFRR into lift mode every now and again and clean the cones and bags, amazing how much muck they can gather |

@jambo27 I am planning to take family camping in France next year so they will be changed (like your descriptive word "exploded" makes up my mind for me with family in the car)

'02 4.4 here and one front airbag went at around 100k miles and 11 years old (it was original). It's about the same mileage that dampers need freshening up anyway so no real hardish. I replaced them with a pair of OEM delphis so if it lasts just as long then I would be happy. I also replaced the rear dampers (Bilstein) soon after although they would pass the MOT fine it seemed a bit nuts to have new dampers on the front with 100k+ miles dampers on the rear. I was surprised at the difference in stiffness between the old and new dampers on removing them, like chalk and cheese!

+1 for the above... Changing them will make quite some difference in the feel of the car

As weejock said, biggest difference I noticed was when changing the rear shocks, with genuine ones... massive difference to the quality of the ride..

Hi there, I have just replaced my front left at 110,000 miles as it was leaking. 2006 Delphi unit. I believe it was the original unit. |
