Looking for A Fitter

Hi everyone,

About 3 months ago I found a listing on fleebay for a guy, who I think was in Birmingham, who supplied and fitted all 4 air suspension bags for £370 or there abouts.

I dont suppose anyone knows his contact details, I cant find them and I am thinking of getting them done soon. Probably needle and haystack, but you never know...

Unless anyone else knows of someone closer to me in West Yorkshire, who can do the job.....

you should buy the bellows and fitem yourself, tis easiest job to do, you don't eaven need spanners, just a pair of long nose pliers or a screwdriver and a jack, remove the little keeper clips holdin the top and bottoms, remove air line and out they come. pull the old bellows from the piston thingy's and using some rubber grease sparingly push the new bellows back on and fit em into place, probably took me longer to type this then it'll take you to swap one. Give it a go!!

Seriously save yourself a heap of cash and do it yourself. Have a look on here for my picture thread on how to do it. There are a couple of others too.

There is also my "Idiots Guide" with photo's on here. Dead easy job, even for a banker!

OK I will give it a go, LOL .

Should I go for Arnott gen 2 or Dunlop original?

Any recomendations on where to buy them, the best price I have so far is

£285 plus del for Arnott gen 2 set of 4

and

£230 plus del for Dunlop set of 4

gen 2 are good, general opinion is gen 3 overkill

The original Dunlops last for a good few years and are original spec for the car. Whichever way you go, order a full set of retaining clips as the old ones..especially the rears will be knackered.

I think Island 4X4 are about the cheapest, lot of people on here, myself included have used them and found them to be fine.

I reckon the Arnott Gen II's give a slightly better ride. Look on Ebay, I got mine from P38 Spares via Ebay, strangely they were cheaper on Ebay than direct from P38 Spares.

I wouldn't touch the valve block unless there is a known issue with it.
