    Hey there. This was my resource when I did mine: http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Rear%20Air%20Springs.html as always an awesome and informative write up. It was a pretty easy job. About 1.5 hours takin it easy. Definately do both while your there. Good luck.

    Wassup Pedro cat got yer tongue, where's the usual "good oil" chant you always give out.

    Having said that, I took a few photos and stuff when I first did mine.

    Although I used the Arnott brand, I would not ever recommend them again.

    Thanks everyone for the advice.....it makes me almost confident to have a crack myself and earn some man stripes . A question....if one has the leak...why do both go down? I thought it would be a lop sided affair....but no the whole arse goes down. Its sad seeing Smokey sitting on its arse when out and about ,

    Regards

    Stevo

    roadside fix.

    Just an extra bit of info from experience with deflating airbags... Roadside fix

    I HAD to experiment with a fix for a leaky airbag on my old D2 as touring the back of NSW.

    Pulled the airbag off as described and the put about 100ml of green goop (aka tyre repair fluid, make sure its fibrous) in and spent about 30 minutes rolling the bag around to fully line the inside with all the fibres. Replaced the bag a woohoo no let down.

    Got me home loaded and towing a 2 ton caravan.
