    Hi Keith,

    Mine has such a switch under the passengers seat, now I know as use for it apart from an emergency "get me home"

    Another thought that I have had out of curiousity.
    What would the thing think if you left the EAS kicker plugged in permanently ? Would it cry foul ?
    Would it clear these mind numbing faults before they happen or would the thing have a brain fade and melt ?
    Thought about it but havent been game to try it !!!

    Cheers.
    Rob,

    Once you get Merlin back why not give it a go and let us all know

    I have read about old airbags not leaking in one spot but leaking at different spots depending upon their extension.

    So when you park it they are in an OK spot but as soon as you begin to move and the extension changes ... down you go unless the compressor can keep up

    I noticed there are a set of Gen II's listed on eBay Oz at the moment.

    But it really seems unless you can get the Keyfob issue sorted out, it may not be worth doing anything to the beast!

    Steve, spot on re the key fob issue, I wont be spending any more on it except to get a switch to isolate the timer and possibly pay someone to isolate the immobiliser and alarm if I can find a bloke.

    To test the bags a bit more a while back, on arriving home at the gate I
    put it into low range and lifted it to full height. Then I parked it for 3 or 4 days to see if it started to sag. It did not so I assume the bags are holding ok but may have lost some uneven tension. Even went slowly round the block in low range and lifted inducing a bit of a sway to see what happened, ie: nothing behaved as it should. I will continue to look for something loose or not right.
    If the thing was ok I would keep it as my daily and save wear and tear on me Disco. i really like the auto and cruise control, niether of which is in the Disco. When it works it really is quite pleasant to drive.

    I will definately try leaving that kicker thingy in and see what happens.

    Cheers.

    Sounds like it's being a right basard these intermittent faults are always the most frustrating, regardless of the equipment !

    Best of luck with it all

    Regards
