Hi I am a new member Just put coil springs on my disco 2 2002 air bags just giving to much trouble. Took disco to specialist to have light turned off. Light is now still on and I can also hear the fuse on something clicking under passenger side as if the compressor is still trying kick in but it was surposed to of switched off. This is now draining battery. Any suggestions please

Ai bags too much trouble, how's that then? You've got a compressor unit that last 15 + years , 2 airbags 10 years + , 2 ride height sensors 10 years +. brilliant reliability and self levelling.

Hi. Replaced air bags three or four times ride height sensors aswell. I just got fed up of finding the old girl sat on it backside most mornings and collapsing while driving and never sure if it would come back up. Don't tow much so decided to convert. Agree good system when working

Sorry to hear this and I can’t help, other than to say. Maybe you should have joined earlier and fixed your air suspension with help from the guys on here. It’s ace (the suspension and the help)

You would of probably spent less too.

But I thought there used to be some sort of plug in gizmo on the bay that would sort that

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I have had my disco for 7 years and is just a daily driver, spent lots on the air suspension so gave in Got a couple of defenders for playtime

I came to the same conclusion eventually and haven't missed it at all as we don't use it for towing anymore and don't need any extra suspension height. I used my Lynx diagnostic unit to switch the air suspension off and if anyone lives near you with a diagnostic unit they might be able to help.
