I had a blow out on the rear right suspension bag while driving, it went with a bang, however I was only a mile from my destination and managed to arrive OK. Only issue is I'm 50 miles from home and the spare air bags are at there. If I remove a fuse/relay for the compressor and drive steadily home, (was gonna do it at night while the traffic isn't there) it shouldn't do any damage should it?
Also which fuse/relay should I remove so the compressor doesn't burn out?

Had a new Contitech air bag at home because the passenger side back would go down from time to time (changed the driver's side about a year or so earlier). Was pulling a trailer and it went completely, so stopped after a few kilometers in a flat, very quite, suburban street and my wife brought me the new air bag, an axle stand, Stanley knife, 10mm open spanner, wire brush and some rubber grease - she came from home in the other car. I was able to change it in about 1.5 hrs taking my time on the side of the road. I didn't fancy driving any distance with the trailer, given speed bumps and potholes along the way. The rubber bump stop looked fine - no damage due to the few kms of driving with the air bag flat.
