    I've a D2a TD5 too and it does the same thing (rush of air from SLS) about 30 seconds after switching off with a slight lean to the left. I was worried but found a web page (can't find the link now I'm looking for it - some about 'definitive D2 suspension page') that described it as perfectly normal. It pumps straight back up on restart and hasn't given any dramas. I'll have a look for the site and post the link if/when I find it.

    cheers,

    Whilst I agree that the DII SLS will sometimes purge some air out of the rear suspension, I'm not so sure that it is considered "normal" for the vehicle to have a slight lean when parked.

    If there is a slight leak in the airbags, this simply means that the SLS compressor is working harder than normal to keep the vehicle level when the vehicle is driven.

    I would suggest that the airbags will eventually need to be replaced, as they can get "porous" at the bottoms where the rubber folds inwards. This porosity would explain the lean in the vehicle if parked for a period of time, because it would effectively be a leaking air bag.

    Question Roof rail extensions

    Hi, I previously had a D2 TD5, it had the roof rail extensions already fitted when i bought it and they were pretty handy. I am looking at another D2 here in Perth at the moment and i thought i would do a little research to see how easy it is to pick up a set of extensions. i saw your post about fitting roof rail extensions and wondered where you got them and how much they were.

    I just fitted some roof rail extensions on mine and left the trim off to check if the holes where leaking.

    Well the holes I made dont leak, but on the highway rain water is forced through the top of the rear passenger door and comes in behind the trim.

    It has probably been like that for a long time, just didnt notice with the trim covering it.

    Water in, Oil and Coolant out....
