    Air sprung P38's must be getting pretty rare

      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?🤔

    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.

      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?

    • @Mcautosaudlem
      @Mcautosaudlem  5 місяців тому

      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

    • @stevepickford3894

      If it fits to the underside of the airbags and you've replaced the airbags, how can it be re-used with springs fitted?

    • @Mcautosaudlem
      @Mcautosaudlem  5 місяців тому

      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?

      About £50 for a used valve block (might need some new o rings too) and £120 for a new compressor (warrantied from Germany).
