Hi,
First time posting here, so excuse me if this question has already been asked.
I recently fitted rear air suspension bags to my luton low loader conversion on a Vauxhall Movano chassis.
Despite numerous attempts, i seen unable to get a fully seales unit. I keep losing 15 to 20 PSI per day.
I have read posts where people have solved this by injecting tyre sealant namely Slime sealant. Thoughts please?

Hi and welcome to the site,
As to your problem if the kit you've fitted is new and has been installed correctly then you should not be losing air from the system. I'd be very cautious putting that slime sealant in as it creates a right royal mess which is hated by tyre fitters when it comes to working on replacing a tyre.
I would personally go round with either a gas leak test spray available from local plumbing shops ( I always carry a can in the van ) or make up a strong solution of washing up liquid in a spray bottle, there are not many places that air can escape from the system so it shouldn't take too much time finding the leak and fixing it properly.
