100% keep the EAS - we are going to retrofit EAS back in the LSE that we have, a previous owner downgraded to coils. If you buy height sensors for £120 from any of the main vendors at the moment, they supply what appear to be P38 sensors but with a modified bracket. P38 sensors are about £40, and the only difference is the mounting bolt pattern. Someone smart has come up with a mounting plate to translate from P38 to RRC and is uplifting the price massively.
My concern was that the output readings for the P38 would be different but I guess EASunlock can be used to address any issues there. Will be a learning curve :)
Definitely retain air suspension, it can’t be beyond your skills to fabricate the small parts you require, have you considered 3D printing? Superb video stories.
I was about to post my p38 also came with an ‘Action man Axe’ so must be Range Rover related! Now I know what it’s for 👍 Brilliant videos! Keep them coming!
Please please please keep the EAS!!!! The system is similar to the P38 which it was designed for by LR. The real problem you will have with converting an EAS can back to springs is the boge high control is not there so you sort of end up with a bit of mongrel…. If the system is working then I’d say replace the bags yes 30 years of wear and tear on rubber bladders is understandable. The pumps and dryers aren’t that dear now either as they are simple P38 items. I watched your first episode and was yelling at the tv to SHUT THE DRIVERS DOOR so the system would raise for you !!! Hahah it’s a safety feature the system will freeze if the doors are open. You are probably aware of this by now. Good luck with this lovely original classic !!!!
:) you were not the only one shouting "SHUT THE DOOR" at the screen. Yeah not having the Boge system would mean air ballons for when towing, not great idea at all, will persevere.
