Have you tried @kurtjohnson10 for a replacement compressor?
tbh I cant be sure it is the pump, not working from the box is unusual

I think you should look at this...
It means, I’m no expert and have unorthodox ways of fixing things lol

Oh it’s a good one now, after it’s been ruined?
Easier to repair once it’s out and the oil lingering in bay is due to it all hiding in there

The only good thing about the P38 is the EAS IMO.Oh it’s a good one now, after it’s been ruined?

I’ve never had it so I wouldn’t know.
I have 19yrs LR history with vehicle, great majority of the bills are ££££ EAS. It was completely shot when I got it.
I didn’t know how simple it was or could be repaired only that I couldn’t be sure of something I’m not familiar. Was offered old coils/struts and 32” tyres v.cheap so they had to be ruled out as an issue. The vehicle was to work in wet muddy conditions mostly. Every other 4x4 ,including 2 90s, have never had issues with coils during these conditions. Leaf springs on hilux were issue.
Il get EAS back on it one day (lifted EAS as it’s height/tyres are it’s defining feature for mine). Priority is getting it to long term viability for now as it’s already 24yrs old and I’m not a mechanic or terribly rich man. That’s why I have a p38

I too have a P38 because I can't afford a decent 4 X 4I’ve never had it so I wouldn’t know.
