My Flying Spur’s air suspension is acting up again

[Veronica Mendoza]

I’m getting really frustrated with my 2018 Flying Spur because the air suspension has started playing up again, and I’m honestly not sure whether to just get it fixed or start thinking about selling the car. I had the front struts replaced about two years ago and it cost me a fortune, but now the rear end is sagging overnight and I can hear the compressor running constantly whenever the car is idling, which tells me it’s struggling to maintain pressure. The car still drives okay once it levels out, but I’m worried that if I ignore this, the compressor will burn out and I’ll be looking at an even bigger bill. I’ve been quoted some ridiculous prices from a couple of places, but a friend of mine who has a Continental GT mentioned that he found a workshop that actually specialises in these systems and could source genuine parts at a more reasonable cost. I’ve been looking for a Trusted Bentley shock absorber installation in Dubai because I want to make sure the job is done properly and the system is calibrated correctly, not just thrown together with aftermarket parts that won’t last. Has anyone here had their rear air struts replaced on a Flying Spur or even a Continental, and can you give me a realistic idea of what it cost and how long the job took? Also, is it worth replacing the compressor at the same time as a preventative measure, or should I just wait and see if it fails? I really don’t want to keep throwing money at this car but I also can’t afford to have it break down on me unexpectedly.
