I didn't find Roverlord too expensive - and the bags were here within a couple of days! What happens if the o/s supplier sends the wrong bags, or one is defective on fitting, or fails within a few weeks/months?

I'd much rather deal locally (well, they're in Melbourne, but I'm just up the road in Qld!), and help keep local suppliers in business.

You can chase all manner of things but the most common cause of saggy-butt on the D2 is a hole/s in the airbags - even if you can't easily detect them. So don't waste your time and swap them (both) out - it's actually a really simple and quick job - google around for a tutorial. If you wait ages, your compressor will end up dying sooner due to having to keep inflating a holed bag.

It's also worth swapping out the air filter for your air compressor - it's behind the left hand brake/indicator lights and the connector is behind the rear bumper - keep the compressor breathing clean air and it should last longer.

I used these guys for my last set of bags. They were Dunlop brand at the time but Contitech are LR OEM too and will, IMO, be excellent. Don't buy locally and pay $350 ea.

If you replace them and the problems continue, at least you've discounted one issue (the cheapest too) and can then confidently move onto other possibilities - all of which will be much more $$ to sort out: compressor/valve block/sensors are only other things to look at.

cheers,

Don, compared to the overseas link that is 2 1/2 years old, Roverlord is less expensive for the exact same item. If you didn't live in the boonies, you could be like me and have them delivered to your door in under 24 hours.

Mario and Heather never cease to amaze me, in the stock they carry, pricing and speed of dispatch and delivery.
Recently, they supplied me with three D2 wipers for less than half the cost that Supercrap quoted, for two.
