In today's vid we're here to try and find, and rectify, an air leak somewhere in the Electronic Airbag Suspension (EAS) System on my P38 Range Rover. There are numerous parts from air lines, valve blocks, air springs, etc, so the task isn't going to be easy, but I'm sure you're well-aware that I don't give up easily! Grab yourself a coffee and enjoy!

Well done Keith, easier than leaves or coils!
You’re not wrong mate!
Thanks Keithy. A surprisingly straightforward job.
Thanks mate. You’re right, it’s easier than it sounds!
Toujours avec un grand plaisir que je regarde vos vidéos .. Merci ..✌🏻
Merci à toi 👍
Thanks Keith, very informative, tempted to put mine back on air because I can and would like to know first hand which is better. Going to watch your videos on your bypass system for a heads up on what you have done.
Good thing mate! Let me know if you decide to change back to bags - I’ll be interested to hear what you think of the difference
I have 2 with air springs and 1 with a coil conversion and 2 inch lift.
The air springs are so much nicer to ride on, and so much more convenient for my 4' 10" partner to get in and out of.

Thanks Keithy, just about to do the rears on my sons P38.
Keep up the content.
Cheers
Thanks Greg, good luck with the rear’s!
Hopefully this has helped me sort out why my rear suspension sags after 2 days of sitting 👍
I hope so mate!
Cheers Keithy, you’re looking good mate. Glad Arnotts have been good for you. I’ve had two new ones let me down but the Chinese replicas have been excellent. So whatever works I reckon. Al
Thanks Al, I appreciate it mate! I agree with you - if the shoe fits!
Hey Keithy,
Good to see your doing better, and doing more.
I'm sure that puts a smile on your face.
Where did you get your new gen 3 bag from?
Cheers Rob and Shelly
Thanks mate! It’s definitely a long road, but life certainly hasn’t stopped to smell the roses!
I get my bags from Arnott in the US. I’ve had my spares for some time. Prior preparation 😉
@Keithy W Great to here, have you got a link at all, because when I contacted them, they said they don't sell direct, and as you know, they stopped making them for a while.
Appreciate it, Thanks Mate.
Cheers Rob and Shelly
I don’t have a link sorry mate. I have had these bags for a while! Certainly not going to be buying them from the Auzzie distributor - they’re hideously overpriced.
Thank you. Confronting the same job!
Glad I’ve helped mate
Help
Some 2 1/2 years ago I was held at the train crossing when the revs increased by about 300rpm, stayed there for a minute or two then returned to normal. This progressed to jumping 300rpm whilst driving at a steady speed up to a position where it was almost undrivable. In my worst experience, everything was fine until for 20 miles when the revs jumped to 3000rpm with only the slightest of pressure on the accelerator. this persisted for 5 miles then cleared and everything was fine.
I replaced the MAP, ERG, crank position and throttle position sensors without success, although the engine did run a bit smoother. I also had access to a second ECU which again did not help.
Then unrelated, the water pump broke and I had to be recovered. On explaining this running problem to the recovery man he said 'It's your turbo they stick' So whilst I had the front of the car out to replace the water pump I also refurbished the turbo but this did not completely resolve the condition so I replaced the MAF sensor with a recovered part and the car worked fine for over a year.
Recently the problem returned and as I had expected the recovered MAF to fail I fitted a new MAF sensor which has not done anything for me.
So I have been thinking that the problem has to be electronics as this occurs less than 10% of the running time. Did I do something unbeknown when I fitted the water pump and refurbished the turbo?
G’day Laurie, thanks for singing out.
Sounds like you’ve got a recurring problem. It’s not happy, and progressing gets worse. They’re very difficult to hunt down when they play these games because it could be a multitude of things. They can be very frustrating.
You’ve done the right thing to use a process of elimination. Sadly, the issue is still there.
I’d only be guessing, being a diesel is also a different ball game to me, but nonetheless the symptoms can be applied both ways. If it were me I’d be looking at an air leak in the engine’s intake system. It sounds like it only happens occasionally, so perhaps an intake line/pipe after the throttle body. I’m not sure if the diesels have an “idle air intake valve” like the V8’s, but I’d be starting there.
Like with the air suspension, you can use soapy water to find a system leak for the engine intake system too, so when the high idle issue returns, you can give it a spray to locate the leak. The rpm will drop when it meets the sprayed water.
Otherwise mate, I hope it’s nothing too crazy!!
Hope life been of some assistance.
replace the line 6 mm replace the bag orings and worse case scenario the EAS solenoid is f ed i made mine manual i have independend manual vales for each bag 2 viair dual gauges to see what is going on an extra tank in the trunk and amm good. sadly mine had the eas removed by some moron.
ALi Express cheap and great.
