For £1300 you could "realistically" with a few spanners and a diag give the EAS a good going over..

The difference between EAS and Springs in profound,

Nice tan for £1300 I'd of thought!!

Thinking about it..

The Softdash Classics had the best EAS system IMO.

the Airbags were reminiscent of the bags you get on a LGV/HGV "in build and quality" plus they mounted the compressor on the chassis where it stays cool.



I got a "94 running that had been sat for 13yrs and she rose up after 20secs..

Amazing..

Never ceases to amaze me the people that buy a Range Rover and then immediately inquire on how to save moolah. A Nice 2 door or early 80s 4 door would be nice.

Usually Allcoms or RSW, are the ones that seem to do the trick but I can't remember which is for your vehicle, and the search function is down again.

hi @Nightsman32

there are currently around 3 x diagnostics available that are recommended

1) gap iid , have gone up to £500 but can be bought for £420 where companies have some old stock , this will do virtually everything that dealers diagnostics will do ( have one myself and highly recommended)

2) As mentioned RSW, use via a windows laptop , will calibrate suspension , around £150
http://www.rswsolutions.com/index.php/discovery-iii-lr3/4dcan-diagnostic-tool

3) or autel AP200 , can do a lot apart from calibrate suspension , basic reader , will programs keys £50

ref the amber light, sounds like ur compressor may be getting tired , with a reader can see the live data of what pressure the compressor is producing

here’s a chart of what ur compressor should be providing

Having a code reader with these modern vehicles is really a must , otherwise Ur just guessing

don’t keep worrying with what if as ur drive urself nuts , start with getting the codes read and if u need help there’s many here that will always help as u can save a fortune by doing the work urself

u can buy a new compressor for around £4-450 , sometimes u can rebuild them but generally is only a short term temp fix, hardest part is getting them apart

hopefully that’s put ur mind at rest a little

ps, good to hear the belts and oil pump has been done

Thanks again everyone il buy one of those gap iid diagnostic they sound like a very handy tool.

great it helped

the gap iid is a fantastic bit of kit , is Bluetooth so use it via an iPhone or iPad

this is currently the cheapest place

https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/integr...411-da6412-da6413-da6414-tfiidbt-p-27303.html

ur then be able to read the fault codes and it will also give u live data or ur compressor

Has the option of emailing the results to ur own email address or taking a screenshot

there’s a few of us now that own iid so can help if u get stuck

I've got gap iid too and highly recommend it. Brilliant piece of kit but expensive and locked to your car unless you buy other licences.

If it covers your car, the new Rovercom-IQ from Blackbox Solutions is less expensive.
