replace air springs or convert to coil - 2001 disco
#11
Well, Mike called and asked me to do a few things... I could not get the Disco to drop until I opened the rear door and sat on the bumper.
Then, on Sunday...with the Disco empty, I woke to find it dropped to the ground again!
I think I'll need to take it into Brett (mechanic) to have him take a look and clear some codes. I think the right side was all the way down and the drivers side just part of the way.

SO after much deliberation, I DISCOvered that my DiscoII has some leaky airbags. I ordered the Arnott bags as the dealer wanted my first born of a set... and I put them in. It's been a couple of day and she's holding steady. I've worked on cars from the 50's through the 80's but this was my first Landy repair (currently my "project car" is a '58 VW ragtop). Changing the left one was a chore as I was not 100% on what to do so I took my time plus I was working a lone most of the time. I has my friends appear just as I was installing the new bag/spring.
The right side took 15 minutes! I'm still dealing with the 3 Amigos but I'm notr ready to dump a pretty penny on the ABS module yet. Anyone know if ther's gonna ever be a class action on the '04s to force a recall or is it a dead issue?

OK the airbags went in...Drove great! For 2 months. Started sagging again. Took it in, cleared the codes. No good. After a week of water squirting...it was determined that the compressor was leaking now. I decided that rather than dropping $900 on a compressor, I'd drop $589 on a spring/coil conversion. Been happy but kinda sad. If I come into some real money, I'll convert it back.
Anyone want to buy some lifetime Arnott airbags?

I've had my Disco for about a year. I DJ at a night club and I load up my CD crates and my cd players and drive over. It DIDN'T used to do this...but in the last two weeks, when I load up and go inside, I come back out and the rear end has sagged. The first time it was just the driver's side.
This past week, I loaded up at the club, went inside and when I came out, the rear end had sagged again.
Do you think it could be something else? It appears to be happening on only one side though it was 3AM when I left the club and I think it might have been both sides.
I should mention mention that I have an HSE7 no ACE.
What do you think Mike?
