P38A Which Springs?

I purchased mine with coils already fitted, but now wish it had the original air suspension fitted , I tend to find the ride harsh and not as plush as I expected , If I could convert without too much cost I would .

Depends on what is left of the EAS system?

I had an LSE which I ended up putting on springs for cost reasons and with hindsight I wish I'd driven one on springs before I converted it, it was functional but it had definitely lost something and I ceased to enjoy driving it. I sold it five months later. Sometimes you have no choice but I'd definitely recommend trying to drive a spring conversion first and see how you feel

Thanks for reply mate, yes I thought that , theirs no compressor , can't see any air pipes those connections are still there where the compressor goes if Iam making sense , but what els I would need I don't know , make take her to a dealer and find out what I would need apart from air springs, thanks .

Best to take it to an independent LR specialist, i'd be surprised if dealers would know where to start with a P38. Also check RAVE for the parts of the EAS system, this will give you a good idea of what it's all made up of.

Couple of people on here have done it. The last one was PastyMuncher, I think.

Look at RAVE.

There should be an air reservoir under the car on the driver's side. In the EAS box under the bonnet there should be a silver valve-block, a black driver pack bolted to the back of it and a compressor pump. There will be an air-dryer and then the lines go along the top of the chassis legs to a bag where the springs are now. Under the passenger seat will be the EAS computer.

Thanks for your advice guys I know I've still got the air compressor underneath seen that ,but ill have to check for the other things , I've try ed to look on this rave but can't view it on my phone for some reason , I think I downloaded it but it wouldn't open , I'll try again.

Need to use windows for Rave, does not work on android but there maybe a pdf conversion about.

There is. I did an XPS conversion by chapter somewhere as well. Ah, here if you can see it: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0By7n3F7TXDU8V2tQRFNBZFZyTHc
