Is anyone else having any issues with Arnott airbags? My 10 month old bags are both leaking! Arnott has been great and is replacing the bags, so no complaints there. I am just curious if mine is a once in a lifetime happening?

 

Nope, your not the only one. It seems they are not as "reliable" as they claim.......infact I still cannot see ANY difference between those and the factory ones tbh.

 

I have only spoken with 2 other people over the years that have had leakers, and they were both taken care of properly.
As for a difference in the bags, I believe there is quite a difference in material and design as well as how they set when inflated.
I wouldn't be 2 worried about your bags failing. If you were able to look at the % of factory bags that have had to be replaced, under warranty, over the years, I bet you would see a very high %.

 

Here's what's Ive been posting around: Did any one else have a similar experience? *In November I bought a new-to-me '05 HSE. *It is an Arizona car purchased via eBay (12th rover bought from eBay)*from a dealer in Memphis. *I live in New Hampshire. *When I bought it, the salesman told be he just had the front right air bag replaced. *Get the car and is it a great rig!!! *The first time the temperature dropped - PSSSSSSSSTTT. *The air bag blew. *I called the dealer I bought the truck from who put me in touch with the local LR dealer (Bluff City Land Rover - AWESOME PEOPLE - Roger is parts is the best!!!) where he had the bag replaced. *Bluff City told me that it was an after market Arnott air bag. *They replaced the part for free including shipping. *I had to cover the labor - no big deal. *12 days later, the temperature drops again. *You guessed it PFFFFFFTTTT - same air bag goes. *I call Roger at Bluff City. *He can't believe it but sends me ANOTHER Arnott Air bag. *Per warranty I cover he labor. *I ask Roger to put me in touch with the manufacturer because I think they should cover the labor for a bag that lasts 12 days even though that is not what their warranty says. I call Marvin at Arnott in Florida. *He explains their warranty policy to me but says that he will take a look at the part when he gets it back and he will talk to to the owner of the company to ask him if he will cover the $233 labor bill. *I patiently wait 10 days for Marvin to call me back. *In the mean time, every morning that the temperature drops below 30 degrees fahrenheit, the THIRD ARNOTT PIECE OF CRAP air bag fails. *I get a suspension fault error. *The RR goes down to the bump stops - fun ride. *Once the temperature goes back above 30 degrees I can shut the car down, reset the EAS and it goes back to normal function. *Arnott is a Florida company. *The clearly have no clue that their product fails in cold weather. *NOR DO THEY CARE!! *After waiting 10 days for Marvin to call me back, I give up and call him. *Shocker - I get his voicemail and he doesn't call me back. *I call again the next day and I go on permahold - i give up and hang up. *For some reason he calls me back - I missed the call. *Finally, we connect. *He tells me that he spoke to the owner of the company and the will not pay the $233 in labor to replace the air bag that lasted all of 12 days. *I asked him if he looked at the defective part I sent back. *The answer was NO. *He said that he has a "pallet" of defective air bags and core returns and he could not find mine. *SHOCKER AGAIN *they have so many of these JUNKY bags that they are returned by the PALLET!!! *Furthermore he tells me that the LR dealer should never have honored the warranty as I am not the original owner of the car when the part was installed. *My point of view is different. *I am the first titled owner of the car after the part was installed. Nevertheless - shouldn't a manufacturer stand behind a part that only lasts 12 days? *I had no gripe paying for labor on the first one that lasted a WHOPPING two months!!! *I guess if you live in a warm climate and you want a cheap piece of crap air bag then buy this stuff. *If you live anywhere where the temperature dips below 30 degrees you will be ver unhappy with the product. *You will be even less happy with the lack of customer service that ARNOTT provides. *Ironically, the owner of the company is Arontt. *I thought the just called them that because the ARNOTT any good.*

 

Can you say spring conversion?

 

I replaced mine 2-3 months ago and haven't had any problems yet but I will keep my fingers crossed after reading your post.

 

Why would anyone replace the airbags? Coil conversion is the only way to go.
