You won’t know why until you investigate the bag. Somethings not right go straight away again, same one I bet?
Now you understand why I binned mine

Now I'm really confused 1: because I wouldn't have classed steering wheel, as a dash panel, and, 2: because the bits mentioned don't 'feel', rubbery, to me. I wouldn't say plastic, but closer to plastic than rubber. With exception of steering wheel, which feels 'leatherish'.
I wonder if that's why @holidaychicken got a rash. I could've sworn that suit was leather

Think so. Will find out when I have time to get underneath. Too annoyed to sleep now but sounds like it is raining again.

Stay away from the oil burner, especially where you are. Government war on diesel just starting and that diesel chews through turbos if it is the one I think. Treat yourself to the v8 as long as it is the Jag engine.

After I fitted the bag I took it for a test drive. Now, being a little bit anal I decided to take a trace with the Nanocom. Just been back through that trace and the rear bags performed flawlessly throughout the test drive. Therefore any f*ck-up happened while the car was parked. That's twice now. Frankly I am ready to f*ck Arnott off and go back to Dunlop. Dunlop may perish after 7 years but at least I can park it up longer than 7 hours without a bag popping.

The Arnott's have been on mine for getting on for 9 years without problems and they still look like new

Yes, seeing yours was what swayed me but the rubber on these looks different and I think the connector is different too. Plus, did yours have aluminium caps? These are plastic. I think some penny-pinching might have occurred?

All the Arnotts have plastic end caps.
You have too much damper travel or there is too much pressure in the system, enough to blow the bag.

Front dampers have 21" of travel. Rear damper has 19" of travel. No problem with the old Dunlop bags. Why would Arnotts blow and Dunlop not?
Rang them @Dopey but no-one picked up. I'm going to go out and have a play before it gets dark. All seems very odd.
