Default air suspension problems please help

hi guys im in ireland have problems with my air suspension i got a 00 discovery parked it on a large kerb last week and when i came back one side of the suspension was up and the other was on the bump stops so i changed the air bag on that side and still got no lift at all then i changed around the lines form the valve block and the side that was down went up and the other side stayed down and now both sides are on the bumpstops and wont stay up i think it could be either the valve block or compressor since i have changed the fuze i need all the help i can get on this one was thinking of going to springs but not sure about towing my caravan with them

As long as you are not exceeding the tongue weight then you will be fine with springs.

In your part of the world they sold heavy duty springs for the rear, for towing and for the 7 passenger base model. I'd try to find a set of those.

Towing a caravan is where you really want the SLS it will adjust the ride with or without the weight of caravan, something that can not be done with coil spring. Even with a set of progressively wound springs its going to be stiff without the extra weight of the caravan.

If you want some help on fixing the SLS issue, we should find a way to talk, do you have SKYPE?
