4.8 Front Air Suspension

[britcon]

Looks like I have a small leak in on my front left air suspension - settles about an inch overnight. Is this a DIY job ? I searched for instructions, but no DIY came up. I can purchase the replacement from Arnott or others. Are all 4.8 bags the same ? Do I need to do both sides ? Will I have any sensor issues with non OE parts ?
Thanks

All 4.8 is bags are the same. But, the front and the rear are different. Use the search function, I think there is a brief diy somewhere. Make sure its the bag and not the sensor

you must do a ride height calibration via GT1.....

Did the arnott air struts seem like good quality? My front drivers side is starting to leak a little bit. After I drive the X a block it is back up to normal ride height. Is an alignment required as well as the ride height calibration?

Yup, it was an option and my X5 which is a 4.4 sport has it.

I replaced the front right about 6months ago and its working beautifully. I just ordered another (front left) and will put it on next week. No problems thus far!
