Not sure how the law stands....but it is drivable albeit very bumpy....don't drive on fast A roads or Motorway though as it will be dangerous to do so....
Again, not sure what the law states or even if a grumpy plod officer would appreciate it though....

I wouldnt - Ours was down on its bumps when we bought it. Even driving it down a cul de sac to load it on to the trailer was a horrible experience. We did debate driving it home initially, but after that 1/4 mile I was very thankful that we'd opted for the trailer.......

the bump stops I believe are designed to get you home ........
I'll stand to be corrected though .....

yep is driveable mine failed on the m25 whilst towing a vitara strapped on the back using an a frame!
i drove mine 66miles home like this and i would say use motorways where possible smoother the roads the better and can quite happily pootle along at 50mph!
rougher roads are a nightmare feels like your spine is going to get rammed through the top of your head!!
biggest prob i had with mine is i had 19 inch wheels rubbed like buggery!

ive drove mine 5 miles on the bumps
not something i will do again ! but if you keep the speed down (20mph) and try to stay on smooth roads its just about tolerable (provided you aint got any loose fillings lol)
i wouldent recomend it as it can ferther damage the air springs but since your insisting on replaceing them anyway you should be ok

wont be much help if its a leaking spring
there more for when youve got a eas hard fault as a temp fix to get you home
but i do agree with you in selling the coils and fixing the eas properly

Most times it's slow leaks in the airsprings that have shagged the compressor, or it's a height sensor on the blink, so it's quite likely that it would stay up as a get you home, even if it's necessary to stop at the occasional garage for a pump up.

A farmer customer of mine once drove 120 miles on the bumpstops,(He was on a shooting trip on a Scottish island) it was to the only LR garage I could organise to fix his EAS on the day.He was suffering from cancer in a part of his stomach at the time - but he did it.
So dont make a fuss,as the ad says - Just do it.
As I mentioned previously, I have been led astray by my peers and elders on this forum....I am actually a really nice guy..!! Perhaps a little easily led...!!!:5bblush5: I love how you always lower the tone!!
