i am mechanically minded just don't want to wreck anything!

so my car rear drops overnight and i finally got to cheack out the rear today, and my leak is on the conector where it goes int the rear airbag (passangers side, are these fittings available, or could it be as simple as crud and mud so if i were to remove it and refit? i tryed nipping it up a little but its very tight.

i also have a photo and a video i can upload if this helps thanks

I would just undo it and see if the pipe is split if not clean it up and try it again to see if it leaks..I have used ptfe tape on these joints to seal them..

Flack

thanks, i was going to suggest ptfe tape but did'nt want to get shot down lol

will have another look another day as ive no axle stands at home so will go to my bros garage to fix it, but its a fair hiss coming out, im slowly getting down the list of issues that i discovered after purchase as im very fussy.

next suspension issue is that it goes from access to extended mode and wont stop in access, think i will re build the air dyer as ive read thats a likely cause, luckily non of the issues so far have cost much to fix.

Good luck with air drier as most I have done are to far gone and you end up with a new compressor..

Flack

hmm well if thats the case, i wont bother as compressor works fine just it wont go into access mode

does anyone know where i can get an olive (presuming the fitting onto the airbag has an olive inside to hold the plastic pipe)

is the pipe work 4mm or 6mm to the rear air bags?

is there an error saying why it won't go into access mode ? ie. obstruction?  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

Prefer RR Vouge S/C but they don't do Orange !

what on the dash? ive not had it plugged in, i'll have to check but it says raising to extended mode deffinately

yes, an error usually displays on the dash  RR Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange 4.2 V8 First edition

Prefer RR Vouge S/C but they don't do Orange !

hi b3eee

i press access mode.... it says 'access mode selected'

drops down then just as its about to stop it says 'suspension in extended mode'

starts to rise very quick

then says 're select suspension mode when clear of obstical'

cheers

which means your compressor is goosed

Plenty of people have changed compressor for this and its still caried on. Thing is it goes up and down in seconds on all other modes. If compressor needs replacing ill just leave it. I can live without access to gain £500

Is this vehicle second hand? If so, someone might have played with the EAS settings, e.g. with an IIDTool, so that access height sits it on its bump stops before it gets fully down (as far as it considers fully down). 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Yes it is secondhand.
