Try starting your car with the doors shut, have a listen and see if you hear the compressor running, it wont raise with the doors open. If it comes back up jack it up and remove the wheels, spray the bags with some soapy water and loak for leaks, i recently went through this myself, i fixed it with some tyre slime, seems to be working fine for now, i will replace the bags later on.
i would suck it and see before you start ripping stuff apart.
I shall explain.
My brother has a TD5 D2 and a year ago when i went back to the UK we went to a wedding and left his car at the reception. when we went back the next day to pick it up it was like yours sat on it ar*e at the back. we both looked at it and went mmmmm. He started it and it went back up to the norm. He drove it home no worries, and then as he drives over 300Ks a day (round trip to work) he would see what was going to go. And a year later it has not done it again and has showed no problems at all since
thanks for that. Remember fondly travelling through Williams on the way to regular hols in Kendenup. live in Brissie now.
spoke to a landy dealer today who thought it might be a leak in air bags. Not sure though as the problem is intermitant. One night it's down, the next it's not. Not sure exactly what you meant re. a retro fit on coils. do I replace the air bags altogether? and is this cheaper? was quoted $700.00 to fix bags.
