Has anyone else used these?
I got them for the RIIIT based on others recommendations.
They won't hold pressure.
Any other experiences?

Complete Guide to Land Rover Suspension Problems | Westminster Motors

Suspension is a crucial component of your Land Rover, regardless of type or model. However, it is considered even more critical when it comes to LR models, since these vehicles are SUVs designed to be competent on and off-road.

Common Range Rover Suspension Issues
Failing Air Suspension
Problematic air suspension is the biggest fear of any Range Rover owner. Although it offers superb drive quality and an extremely smooth ride, air suspension is known to have numerous issues not just associated with airbags (which replace the coil springs on standard cars), but also with air pumps, regulators, and electrical control systems.

Their biggest problem is the bursting of the airbag at speed – however, this is a rare occurrence. Issues with lines, valves, and pumps are more common, which can leave your car glued to the ground.

Are they new or used? I know several Laverda riders who are very happy with them, so it seems to work. If they are new, then surely the correct course is to return them?

Returned to the (huckster) US dealer who lied, never sent them to the factory.

Then, to the factory in France. 100 miles, leaked down, riding dead-x
 
My mate brought a set of new Fournales for his Wideglide Harley, they recommend to send them back every year for service which was included in the price for new ones, one of the reason they cost so much new, but of course had to pay for postage and time it takes all, why so many don't send them back for servicing, he loved then as changed his WG handling and load carrying, they are an expensive shocks to buy new but back up service is great as well and a quick turn around.
Buying second hand and not knowing if they been sent back for servicing is a big unknown.
