Disco 2 Suspension Air Bag Removal Question

Just taking the leaky bag off my car ready for the new one when it arrives, but I can't figure out how to remove the feed pipe on the top, never done this before, so go easy on me!
Can anyone tell me how this pipe comes off? It's not a nut.



Oh typical... now my pooter decides not to post pictures properly

Have you had a shufti at this?

Yeah, that's the guide I'm following, but I'm not sure how I get the pipe off the top. It's not a spanner job... It's more like a push fit, but I'm not sure.

This help?

Its the same as the Dunlop fixing on that PDF...

Read point 3 then, tells you how to do it.

I hate it when something turns out to be really easy! The bag is out now.
Thanks Neilly

FYI,

I added the PDF to the definitive guide thread if you ever need it again or find someone does.

Just out of curiosity, the bag I've just removed has a Dunlop label on it showing week 12/11, can I take it that this indicates that the bag was manufactured in March 2011?

Could do,

Did you order new clips with the bag?

Yes, although the existing ones weren't in too bad a condition. I'll bin them anyway and fit the new ones.

How bad was the whole in the airbag?

Not found it, just about to get some soapy water on it.

Hmm, I can't seem to find any leaks in the bag, but it does fold over itself quite a lot at first, so it could be in the roll over folds.

Was that a whole hole or just half a hole?
Time to get my own back.

I know, I read it after I wrote it and thought ..you plonker. Just never went back to change it.

Fair do's...

A couple of questions if I may. The new bags have arrived, and I've placed one in position, but...

1. The new clips seems really loose and liable to fall off at the first bump. Are they meant to be that loose?
2. I have three "holes" for the two small posts at the top of the bag to go in to. One at the rear, and two at the front. I've fitted the rear post, that's easy as there's only one hole, and I've put the front post in to the hole nearest the side of the car. I assume this is right, as the small posts are not directly opposite each other on top of the bag.

I'd rather ask stupid questions than make bad assumptions

OK, so the bags are replaced, and I've just checked the SLS height values on the Nanocom, and I've got Left 161 and Right 140
Can anyone tell if there is a default value for these?

No there is not,

Have you physically checked the hieght from the wheel ctr to the underside of the wheelarch?

Mine are 147 / 152 Left to Right.

Thanks Neilly, no, I haven't measured just yet, but I'll go and find some level ground and set them both to about 150 each side.
