    Disco2 suspension dramas!

    Hi again guys, yep, need your help again please?
    When I arrived at the car tonight after work, I found the suspension seams to be totally raised on the left side & totally lowered on the the right side?
    It was dead level when I arrived at work, but driving home was somewhat, "lop sided".
    I can't see anything obvious, checked the fuses, (about all I know to do) with these things.
    I played with the switch for raising/lowering the back end, but nothing seems to have helped. Does anyone have a suggestion please?
    I have to drive it to work again tomorrow & have no time off except Xmas/boxing day, so no time to take it anywhere, so somewhat desperate for an answer that I might be able to do myself?
    Thanking you in antisipation!

    Most likely you have a leaking spring. Spray soapy water around the air springs and the tubing and check for bubbles.
    Best solution is to replace both springs, and if one of your old ones are okay, keep that as a spare.
    It is important to fix this problem ASAP, as you will burn out the compressor pretty quickly otherwise.
    A new set of springs should be good for another ten years.
    Note that the problem could be with the height sensor, but this is less likely.

    2nd What Biggin said. Air springs will cost you up to $330 each in oz - I got mine cheaper (less than that for both) from the uk. I'd rather buy local - I hear the airbag man in qld is quite reasonable for Aussie sourced ones (wish I'd known that first as I like to support Aussie businesses). Have a look in the "good oil" (it has all the relevant threads for replacing the springs)

    2nd the 2 replies above
    I had a leaky bag, didn't find the leak until I took it out - sand had got into the top crease and worn a pin hole, reckon I could have repaired it for temporary get home
    a while later I had a sensor fail (D2 looked like a dog going up to a tree), water corrosion inside. got 2nd hand ebay for around $40 - all good
    From memory if the sensor totally fails the compressor won't kick in
