| Cost to replace the suspension airbags (L322)? | |
I noticed this morning that the front offside corner of our L322 was a bit low. It came up fine when I started the engine, so I thought “glitch”. Then while driving I had a “suspension fault” message. Parked up at the shops and it sagged while I was shopping. Started up and it came up again.
By now I’m no longer thinking “glitch”. On the drive home I noticed the level indicator showed it was low. I tried to bring it up manually and had “vehicle lifting slowly”. Then “suspension will raise when system cooled”. By the time I got home it was low at the front and would not raise.
After a few hours, I started it and up the front came. Get out to hear a loud hissing.
The “when cooled” message apparently comes up when the compressor gives up trying to fill a leaking airbag. This morning has the hallmarks of a slow leak becoming a fast leak. Best practice is, so I’ve read, to replace both sides at the same time.
So, any ideas on how much I am looking at for this fix? I’ve watched the YT videos showing how, ahem, easy it is to do yourself. I’m reasonably handy but it’s not a job I fancy undertaking. Range Rover 4.2 SC
