Leaking airbag and ABS sensor woggered

The boys finally finished changing the front wheel bearings and suspension arm rubbers yesterday.

Unfortunately they woggered the ABS sensor of one of the front wheels, so ABS/HDC/DSC are throwing a fault. Does anyone know if the car can still be driven (obviously without ABS being available) without any issues ??

What I also feared is that one of the airbags leaking would become an issue and it did of course. The right front bag is leaking but the leak is not big enough to not raise the car anymore I think. However the car won't come up at the front and the screen indicates a "fault" right front by blinking the little "height line". Today I will take the Faultmate and check what is going on.

Does anyone have an idea what could be causing it ?? I asked them to check the height sensor, whether it hasn't been woggered as well.

I also asked them to (temporarily) fix the leak with a rubber tire vulcanization pad (the type you use on inner tubes) while I am waiting for the new bags/struts to arrive. Hope that will delay the inevitable long enough for me to get the new struts in country Confused MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

The strut has been removed and it is clear, the bag is well and truly past the end of its life. Multiple "vertical" cracks about 5mm apart over 40 to 50 mm wide with lengths well over 5 cm. Their location is "normally" on the "inside" by the looks of it. They patched one hole but I told them to stop, it is just over and done with.

Ordering the two new front struts, just doing a final price selection/comparison (jfb and Steve thanks for the suggestions).

All the height sensor issues have gone, must have been that it was sitting so low it was out of range. Currently it is sitting on a support on the right, height sensor looks untouched so that is fine.

However the HDC/DSC/ABS fault is still there. Vehicle sensor A gives a problem, plus one of the wheel sensors. No idea where Vehicle Sensor A is located and considering the work done I assume it is another name for one of the wheel/ABS sensors. Left wheels wasn't accessible so couldn't check there. Anyone any idea ???

Wish I had a complete schematic plus drawing where each sensor is located, makes life soooo much easier.

Only good thing is, now I have a great excuse to take the headlights out and install my angel eyes LED rings (Daveo, your description is going to come in very handy now !!! Just need to find a paintstripper as a hairdryer probably won't do it I guess ????) MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
