and we are just about to go on two trips abroard the first one being Corsica then later on the Alps so my question is should I change the air suspention for coil suspention

Any advice much apprecaited

Assuming that all is o.k. with the suspension don't change it. If you fit coils you will not have the ride height adjustment feature that air has. The P38 is capable of taking worse conditions than you are likely to encounter in it's stride.

Slide underneath and have a look at the suspension units - if they look perished or cracked then get them changed
It's an easy DIY job and only £250 for all 4 delivered so no excuses !

Agree with the above, but if I were you I would consider fitting one of these just in case.

That assumes your problem is not a leak in the air spring or pipe feeding it.
