Airbag Replacement

[101RRS]

Landrover service schedules indicate airbags are to be replaced every 10 years. Disco S1 updates will be starting to be due.

Has anyone replaced theirs because of the service requirement - I assume the stealers are very, very, very expensive as they have a captive market - are they available aftermarket and any ideas how much?

Thanks

Hmmm.... It'll be interesting if you can find an after market dealer as once out of the car air-bags have to be treated and handled the same as explosives!!!!

Yeah - Mark - I know - yet old ones consistently turn up on e-bay UK being sold by "landrover specialists". I suspect no one is actually replacing them because of the costs which may - or may not be a real worry. I suspect no one knows what the real shelf or installed life of the bags actually is and an arbitary time frame of 10 years was chosen. I guess the issues are deteroration of the bag itself and the ignition cartridge - I assume new ones are fully set up for transport under special arrangements.

It will be interesting to here from anyone who as actually changed them.

I guess you are still twiddling your thumbs in Melbourne waiting for your car?
