Bagged W126 build log update. Finally sorted the rear airbags. The Easystreet ES-2200 kit had been giving me grief since November - the rear bags would deflate overnight, dropping the chassis to the bump stops.

Turned out to be the rear air-line check valves (the Easystreet plastic ones) cracking from cold-cycle stress. Replaced with the brass Firestone equivalents ($28 each). Bags now hold static pressure for 14 days. Build complete.

Photos at the next cruise.

Declan good work mate. The Easystreet plastic valves are known. Brass is the fix. See you at the BP last Friday.
