Air springs should (I hope) be just as durable if well maintained..

There's a fix for that: Opticians | Glasses & Contact Lenses | Specsavers UK

What? Steel springs don't fracture? There's no reason why airsprings in good condition should fail unless you're really unlucky with driving over something very sharp and pointy - if they were that fragile there'd be stranded HGVs scattered everywhere - and they can be changed at the side of the road with minimal tools in 20 minutes - so if you're off-roading in a remote place you could carry a spare front and rear, they're cheap enough.

I managed to break one of my brand new Arnott Gen 2s first time out off roading after replacing them, so they're not indestructible...

The whole base plate cracked.

Not really, but it was a very rough track. Right at the start of a day's laning on Salisbury Plain too. I wasn't very happy. Luckily I managed to get to a road.

Quick question... If your leaving your RR stood for a while is it best to set it to access height (bump stops basically) thus removing most of the air from the system and "relaxing" it until your return...? Just a thought?

Leave it at whatever height it is normally at, it should still be there or thereabouts when you get back unless it has leaks saving the compressor effort.
I run mine locked at motorway height all the time or it does 6 height shifts in 30Km on our weekly shopping run, ride is smoother too

Mine is a puzzle. I have checked the system with EAS and it tells me the fault lies with the front sensor. If I disconnect the sensor, clean the plug and give the sensor a wiggle the EAS warning goes off. Is it time for a new sensor?

Can you attach a piece of string through the window and just tug when the warning comes up?

Unless the connector is badly corroded and you are not getting it completely clean, then yes, time for a new sensor.

Tried the piece of string and it kept snapping so new sensor ordered from Island 4x4.
