Discovery 4 front air springs
Hi everybody,
I have a slightly leaking air spring on one side of my 2011 Discovery 4 and so plan to replace the pair.
I found two different references on the web : Some are LR011932 but other sellers say that RNB501250 fit Disco 4 despite some say it only fits Disco 3...
Are the air springs identical on Discovery 3 and 4 ?
To make short, does the RNB501250 will fit my Disco 4 ?
Thanks in advance.

The fronts are slightly different between D3 & D4, rears are the same. I don't think the air bag is available on it's own for the D4 but it is for the D3.
How did you get on with the suspected wiring problem?yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Hi PROFSR G and thank you for your answer ,
I can see on this link (https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/lr011932-spring.html) that LR011932 fits as well for D3 and D4...
My shocks are 12-13 years old and rusty, so I want to replace the complete parts, not simply airbags.
Your links are very interesting, but I need to cancel my previous order first and waiting supplier answer for that.
About my wiring problem, I found the connector but I didn't touch it. I checked the resistance between signal wire and ground each side and found the same value, that means no particular reason to suspect a short circuit. It was the brand new sensor bought on eBay that was faulty (signal 0 V) after one month. I've fit a new one and the problem is now behind me. I also replaced my old rusty Hitachi compressor with a new AMK and replaced the reservoir valve. Now my gallery pressure is going up to more than 1700 Kpa, and it's probably the reason why my airbag has failed...

That airbag won't fit your car, it's Dunlop specific so will only fit if you have Dunlop aftermarket struts.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Ok, I understand. Not a problem for me as I replace the whole struts. And as I've ordered Dunlop air springs, I could replace the only airbags next time... May be in 10 years finger cross.

Good morning,
My supplier replied that RNB501250 (Dunlop) won't fit my D4 and said that the good parts for my car are LR032646 (as you told ).
The problem is I can't order in UK because the imports taxes (f... brexit ), so I should find an European supplier.
Another solution could be amazon.co.uk (only 2% bank change fees). What do you think about this item : https://www.amazon.co.uk/maXpeedingrods-Su...1&th=1
To be continued.

I have no idea of the part in your link.
I order from the UK as per the links I posted earlier. You just have to swallow the costs if you want the right part. It's the increase in the crazy carriage costs that's the killer.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
If you had some one to get parts collected from me, you could get them posted to me in Northern Ireland if it helps.

Much appreciated... But I'm in the deep South.
Edit : Parcel delivered without customs fees from amazon.co.uk, logical for Chinese made parts.
Not still fit on car (just pressure tested) but looks to be pretty good quality parts.
