i would change the oil in the transfer case, 2 litres of defron to refill, less than a tenner and 20 mins job!
the steering damper, the shock absorber on the front suspension linkages, is prolly gone. bout 40 quid and 20 mins work!

What tyres are on the front, the P38 is very particular about its front tyres, check under tramlining posts for different opinions but Pirelli Scorpions are a fairly universal cure for wanderlust.

we need to establish if the gear box or transfer box has/is over heating???
the gearbox oil needs to be checked whilst running!!! thats the dipstick near the bulkhead in the engine bay.
the transfer case/box oil is guaged by filling till it dribbles out of the filler hole, for this you will need to get under the car and undo the plug! obviously with car not running!!!

you can reset the eas, it wont cost the earth to buy the eas cable and download the software, plug it in as it should be and clear the faults. i would suspect the valve block has gone OR its been converted to coil springs!!!

thats the gearbox oil you have checked, not the transfer box oil. they are two seperate units and each have thier own oil. the GEAR box oil should be checked while engine is running and in neutral!
if the message was transfer overheat then checking the dipstick wont do anything.
if you need to get this sorted asap then understand that THE GEAR BOX AND TRANSFER BOX ARE SEPERATE PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. YOU NEED TO CLARFY THE PROBLEM AND THEN TAKE THE ACTION I HAVE STATED!!!!

if you lay so that you are looking from the back the filler is about half way up on the passenger side and the drain is at the bottom

What tyres are on the front?
As above the brand of tyres has a big difference on the directional stability with these buses.
Also the wheel size has an impact, there are reported problems with bigger wheels, I'm sure the L322 wheels don't go on without spacers which again contribute to problems
