Tear to NSR air strut?

I have just been taking a look under the car and noticed that there is a tear at the bottom of the NSR air strut, about an inch long. On a Disco 2, this was critical and required a new air bag. Is this the same principle on the D3 and 4? I'm concerned that if this is the case, the compressor must be working overtime. Something to note however, is that the car doesn't sag to one side at all, though that may have been a D2 only thing?? Hopefully the image appears below...

If this is terminal and a new air strut is required, shall I replace as a pair?



Thanks in advance!

Just to add to this, it looks like the rubber at the bottom of the spring isn't able to move due to a build up of dirt! It would appear that there is space for it to travel, but it can't as it's not able to move. Is this also something that's normal?
