Air bag makes a bang...

After driving a short distance the O/S/R airbag pops like a loud crisp packet. Suspension goes up and down on the height adjustment switch. Its a 2006 supercharged sport. Can just the airbag be replaced ? Banging Head

Yes, the bag can be changed separately if you're happy to keep the old damper. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

If your dampers are 13 years old, it's probably worth replacing the whole unit, including the damper. Kev
