    Inevitably after 2 years allroad ownership Ive now got one corner dropping over night...

    If I park in 3 or 4 its fine for weeks, but setting 1 and Im dropping to bump stops.

    Question is are the £60 bags from China any good? - big difference to Arnot at £250+?

    cheers guys...

    We have had reliablilty and installation material quality problems with Arnot so the Chinese ones can’t be any worse.....

    Cheers Crusher, have also heard mixed reviews on Arnott, £60 a go not bad so Ill go with that.

    I see Arnot have done a youtube video on replacement - any tips? / anything else I need to know
    or is it straightforward for a diy mechanic?

    cheers

    Be EXTREMELY careful and gentle when installing the air fitting, even the slightest slip or tweak too much will rip the thread out of the top plate, it is made of plastic, just a gentle nip down.
