    Airbag - spring replacement

    A friend is about to replace his Series2 Disco airbags with a set of standard D2 springs and plates (one too many failures). He has asked how to disable the controller and the aircompressor. I assume pull the compressor fuse for a start. I know this has been done to S2 Discos before as I have sold a few kits.

    Cheers, Erich.

    Gday Erich,

    You probably can also get it programmed out by a specialist that has the computer kit to interrogate the system - eg Graeme Coopers, Davis Performance Landys, LandRover etc.
    Cheers

    Hmm, I'll have a look tomorrow on T4 and see if it's an option. It may be on FaultMate but I only have the licence for my P38A.

    Is he interested in selling the Bags, even if he has 1 good one I would like it as a trip spare.

    Cheers

    At this stage he was didn't want to burn his bridges in case he was unhappy with the springs. He was going to keep them in his shed for a bit. Cheers, Erich.

    If you replace the airbags with springs does it effect the ride at all??

    Thanks to all who replied. The airbags were replaced today and he is very happy with the set up. Will get to a test book in a month or so as he is over 200kms from the nearest dealer.

    Cheers, Erich.
