Air sprung P38's must be getting pretty rare
Yh I don’t think theres too many left
Not at all. The ones converted to springs are virtually undriveable. Not sure why anyone would ruin a quality adjustable setup as OEM, for non adjustable, bouncy, dangerous suspension. Just buy some o rings and service the valve block!
I'm a German vehicle technician and I just don't understand it. What is the problem with maintaining the EAS properly?🤔
Das BEEP BEEP Bep BEEP bei jeder zweiten Fahrt.
@@j.k.1480 Komisch, macht mein P38 nicht... 🤔🤐
9 out of 10 if you dont replace the shocks that should be matched to the springs you'll be over sprung and under damped and the ride is pooh. The best spring shock combo sets are Arnott. Do not forget to inform your insurance company the car is modified as bags are OEM. Claims have been refused and revoked then owners prosecuted for no insurance. The P38 towing skills are greatly reduced by springs too.
Awesome guys gonna change mine too from air to coils
Feel free to ask any questions if you get stuck
Learn how to fix and maintain the EAS. It's very simple and cheaper than springs
definitely worth maintaining the EAS .. there really isn’t much to it.. great if you can do it yourself
There's a retaining clip that's hard to remove on the bottom of the front air bags - is this re-used and if so, how so?
It’s like a big R clip they can rust in the air bag. But with some penetrating oil and patience it should come out. Ideally you should replace it
If it fits to the underside of the airbags and you've replaced the airbags, how can it be re-used with springs fitted?
Then the airbag is removed to fit the spring conversion there is a mounting bracket for the springs that utilises the same mounting that the airbag was using.
just changed mine for a Terrafirma kit from maltings garage. I have fitted the loom and started it up and it drives fine. BUT it says 35mph max (which you said the loom was for) and also my cruise control wont work. Any guesses anyone?
Have your disconnected the hight control buttons and indicator
Where do you get a by pass harness from
It all come as a kit from LR parts
How much for the eas valve block and compressor ,
Sorry mate it’s a customers vehicle
Shame , all them bits off of converted ones keep the ones on air going !
About £50 for a used valve block (might need some new o rings too) and £120 for a new compressor (warrantied from Germany).
