So I'm pulling into Dubai Mall yesterday afternoon feeling pretty good about life and then I hear this awful hissing sound from the front end and the whole truck just sinks down like it's taking a bow for an audience of confused tourists, and of course I'm blocking the entrance to the fashion parking area with a Range Rover that now looks like a lowrider while the security guards are waving their arms at me. Managed to limp it out and get it towed home but now I'm staring at a suspension fault on the dash and I'm pretty sure the front air strut just gave up completely. I've been down this road before with the old L322 I had and I know these air systems are fantastic until they're not and then they're just a money pit of compressors and valve blocks. Started doing some research last night trying to figure out if I should just convert to coils or fix the air ride properly and I ended up on this page www.suspensionrepairdubai.ae/land-rover-suspension-repair which actually explains the difference between rebuilding the strut versus replacing the whole thing which is exactly the kind of info I needed at 2am while panicking about the repair bill. Anyone else on here made the switch to coils on their L405 or did you just bite the bullet and fix the air suspension? I'm honestly torn because I love the ride quality but I don't love the idea of this happening again in August when it's fifty degrees outside and I'm stuck somewhere without a tow truck.
