The essential thing to note is that the shocks are not separately replaceable, they are built into the air spring units, hence replacement is much more costly than just buying a set of shocks from the motor parts shop. I suspect that when these cars get to about 10 years old, or attain high miles, people will dump the air springs and convert to steel, as the cost of the air units is very high. Lots of Land Rover owners do this, and there is now a kit for the Jaguar. Don't some Mercedes also have air springs ? I'd like to know what these owners do, as Mercedes parts are definitely NOT cheap.

how long the OEM spring/shock should last remains unanswered.
