Anyone know of any websites dealing with changing a rear bag on a 2001 Disco TD5??. Just ordered one for mine and may have a go at the W/E...earthquakes allowing!.

Wheel off first, then I think you simply unscrew the air inlet pipe to remove it and to let the air out, and a press fit it into the new bag. The bag has a couple/3/4 nuts at the top top to undo, mine were quite rusted. The bag itself just twisted out on its plastic base. Mine is also 2001 d2 "How do you get a fat chick in bed with you?

Proberbly an odd set of questions - Why would you change the air spring to metal springs ? I would like to go the other way around - change the front metal springs to air springs (like the back springs). Do you (or anyone) have links to someone who has done that ? And where and what to buy ?

Certainly did on my Subaru, I popped a rear spring and it took out the compressor, going to coils and dampers all round halved the repair cost.

Bought an old RR and the only thing to go wrong (so far, in 3 months) is a rear air spring leaks and it develops a list to starboard every week. Haven't even been over a big bump. So I let the other one down and wonder if I should do any more than that. I like the car better without. > > Hi Dom ! > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > - Show quoted text - They're about £80 each and half an hour to an hour's work to replace (less time once you have done one). Thats' about the price of a tank of fuel, and it will happen every 5 years. Its NOT a big deal when they go wrong. >>> Hi Dom ! >>>> Anyone know of any websites dealing with changing a rear bag on a 2001 [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > of fuel, and it will happen every 5 years.
