Always follow the enclosed instructions included with the manufacturer of the airbags, some have different valve set ups, if it says cut then cut, and inset pipe, if you fiddle with the valve etc then your warranty is void. It might also cause leaks at the valve. Don't assume anything, cover yourself by following the manufacture installation instructions for the particular brand, they put them in for a reason.
Some have paint marks for security, if the paint is broken then warranty is void. Some also have to be installed certain ways, and inflated in short bursts of the key instead of turning the key and inflating in 1 big go, and checked in stages to ensure the bag is not twisted or linked. Any marks of creasing or catching on anything whilst it is installed voids warranty.
The air bag manufacturers are really strict on warranty claims
The Dunlop manfacturered ones may have the push in collar type, The contis however may have the cut and insert type of fitting.
attacted is a pdf on the dunlop install, and there strict fitting instructions regarding chassis support etc so there is no load on the bag on installation
What happened to V8ian is a mystery, I have seen it only once before and that incidence was on a Conti airbag.

Now to find a few hours to fit it along with catch can and some new cooler hoses so we have a clean inlet

It looks like one or both of my head gaskets are Buggered [bawl]
I bled the coolant then ran the truck for a while and she got hot 110deg C so I shut the engine down.
I went back about 3-4 hours later and undid the cap on the expansion tank, The system was very much pressurised even when cool So I am assuming that the gaskets on the head/heads are rooted [bigsad]

Fitted a set of refurbished Mondials to the beast today! will get pictures in the daylight over the next few days!

How did you fit the Ferraris in? Cheers

today i worked out i had blocked myself in the driveway. ive got the camper in the driveway cause i was testing it and slept in it last night. the disco is behind it in the 2nd carport space.
now ive packed the camperup, but the driveway is gravel and ever so slightly uphill,so i cant push it out of the way.

time to put my thinking cap on.

Last nights project. New fronts! Sits 60mm higher. Has a 45 mm lift, the rest was just sag. (The rear was done by the previous owner already- front was original 18yrs old). Bushes were pretty shot. Attachment 130007Attachment 130008Attachment 130009Attachment 130010

I see you have positioned the cat nicely...

Maybe its name is Mondial ?[bigwhistle]

Apprentice puss. Normally sleeps in the car while I work on it. Nice to have some company.
