P38 Air Springs: Anyone used Arnott (instead of Dunlop)?

[shentodj]

Needing to replace my P38 Air springs/bags.

Have seen ones made by Arnott advertised. They claim to be better than the orig Dunlop ones.
Anyone had any experience of these?

Regards,

I put Arnott Gen 2s on mine about a year ago and they've been fine (apart from one rear one that the base cracked on 3 months after fitting it in the middle of Salisbury Plain).

I'm not convinced the Arnott Gen 2s are any different to the Dunlops in terms of performance. The Gen 3s are supposed to be MUCH better, but they're also MUCH more expensive.

Plenty of info and opinions on the various landy forums if you need more.

Also got Gen II's which are fine, possibly a slightly firmer ride although that could just be because my originals were shot.

I considered Arnotts, but stuck with Dunlops for a softer ride on road, harder of road. The Arnotts are firmer on road softer off road.

I bought the Arnotts but my garage couldn't fit them.
When my garage rang the supplier (P38-Spares) they admitted that some (the ones we'd been supplied, it seems) had different fittings. P38-Spares swapped them for Dunlop ones.
