I've started to notice more and more recently that when I go to get in my disco 2, the back suspension seems to have dropped. And I find it sitting on the back wheels.
It's still on airbags which work fine all the time other than this.

Is it time to make the swap to springs or is it something that's an easy fix?

Cheers

Maybe you have leaky bags or pipes at the back, or the sensors are fubar and it is lowering to where it thinks they should be.
Is the compressor running a lot?
Squirts of soapy water may find the leaks. Fix any leaks and see what happens.
Look at the calibration/current state of play with the RSW software (see @Datatek on here).
 
Cheers guys, I've got a new airbag and in the middle of swapping them out. Got the hose off and the clips, it's meant to just twist and come out now- but it won't. Any ideas?

I've twisted both directions, tried lining it up with the socket etc. Just won't seem to come out. I think it must be full of dirt or something
 
Asuuming the posts at the top are clear it should just twist 90 degrees and come off the bottom mount.
Have a look at this video

HTH,

I initially tried twisting 90 degrees, it wouldn't come out. Now it's twists both ways all the way around. Wobbles a little in the position where it would come out. But doesn't come

Has the bottom section of the bag become detatched somehow and not twisting with the bag itself?
Can't think of any other reason why it's not playing

I believe they're both twisting together, can't really see as the bag has flopped over the plastic. Might have to just see if I can split it
 
Managed to get it out the other day, used a couple pry bars and hammers.
The slot for the fixture had corrosion over it and had basically become too tight for the bag to slide out like it should!

Just need a new hose now
