    Reinstate SLS

    As a part of my project to bring my D2 back to life I am considering reinstating the SLS. I really regret removing it in the first place, but I was sick of returning to the car and finding it on it's bump stops, and I didn't know about forums back then.
    Anyway, I'm pretty sure I can get the springs from Mario, and I'll find the 2" spacers somewhere, but I have two questions:
    Can someone remind me of the person who does compressor kits? Mine is still there, but it has done nothing for ten years.
    And, is it possible to use the remote from the higher end models on my car?
    I know I'll need a Nanocom to switch it back on.
    TIA

    Make sure you extend the air inlet from behind the LH tail light I think, to inside the vehicle to keep dust and water from entering the compressor.

    And only use Genuine or OEM air springs which are Contitech.

    Thanks. The rear interior is currently out, so I'll do that now, wether I go ahead or not.

    IIRC, Mario sells them and Dunlop, another quality product.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Yeah. In hindsight it was the second worst decision I've made about this car.

    Not talking about the worst one

    Hmm. I have two Schrader valves next to the tow bar to inflate/deflate the helper airbags I installed when I fitted the coils. Perhaps I should leave them there...
