Discovery 2001 - 60k miles - to replace both REAR SHOCKS down

My Discovery 2001 has a new problem now...

The Rear Shock absorbers both LEFT and RIGHT are going down ...in 3-4
hours the car just slides down and looks like a low rider ... I have
to use the height adjustment pump to raise it again every time I start
the vehicle.


Can someone give me an estimate of how much this is going to cost
me ?? rough numbers ?


in California , USA ? in 2007 \


Thanks in advance for your response !!

LOL!

I would suspect a leak at a fitting in an air line if they are 'air'
shocks. I would go after all the fittings with a paint brush dipped in
soapy water looking for the leak to bubble up.

If the fitting just needs to be tightened, it could be a free fix if you
do it yourself or a hundred bucks plus however long it takes to find the
sucker at a hundred bucks and hour I guess...

Or some major part has failed and you will need a new mortgage to pay
for it.... ;-)

Just my $0.02,

It should automatically pump itself up when you turn the ignition on.

In the UK you are looking at 100 to 150 GBP per air spring and 200 or so
GBP for the compressor. There are about 2 USD to the GBP ATM...

See other very recent thread.
