Discovery II suspention question
Greetings
I just had a question concerning a 99 Disc II. I have had the vehicle for 2 yrs + with no problems. Lately though i have noticed that whenever the car is parked, it lowers itself in the rear. At times it will do it while i am driving. was wondering if this is something to be concerned about, unfortunately there are no LR dealerships near my home. The nearest dealership is approximately 6 hrs away. Thank you in advance for any assistance, knowledge you can share

im no expert, but it sounds like your having airbag problems. i woudl recomend saving yourself a lot of time (and asprin) and swap thgem out for conventional springs. they're somewhere at www.roversnorth.com

Yep,sounds like your air bladders are leaking.This is a pretty common problem with Discoverys and the quickest and cheapest way to fix it is to remove the air ride setup and replace with coil springs.When I was shopping for my Discovery,I actually settled for a 5 pass with springs just to avoid the air bladder setup that comes on the 7 pass.(I got tipped off ahead of time by a LR Tech). From what I hear the swap is pretty simple and inexpensive.

RE: Discovery II suspention question
I had the same problem with my suspension. I wanted to maintain all of
the factory functionality so I did not want to switch to coil spring suspension.
I found a great company out of Cape Canaveral Florida that sell replacement
bags http://www.arnottindustries.com/part...ies_yid48.html
And by the way...they have a lifetime warranty! I had the first of the two rear bags
replaced at the dealer at a cost of $500 cdn plus install. When the second bag started
leaking, I started looking around and found these guys. Their price with duty, tax, and
shipping to Canada was less than half! The factory bags only come with a 1 year warranty.
I hope this helps
Best Regards,
Tom

i'll probably end up just buying replacment bags from the link Tom gave...Thanks, Tom!
are the rear bags easy to replace? does arnott industries send installation instructions or is there a how-to somewhere?

My cousin found a site that sells both the conversion kits and replacement parts for the air suspension system and has better prices than the 2 sites listed above:

Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) w/these guys?
