Yes, rolling eyes lolYou are having a giraffe, was that tongue in cheek? Anyway he's got more things to worry about it's a TD6 with the crap gearbox.
thks, that’s what I must have seen then
Indeed such a shame , also wondering and can only say about the D3 as I don’t know about the L322 suspension
But when certain terrains response setting are selected it allows the EAS valve block crossover solenoids to open which allows the suspension to act like a live beam , assume with coils then that will all be gone
daft question, wonder what insurance companies think of this modification and imagine the ride will of course be worse converting from EAS
oh well, as they say, not our motor , lol

We shall see I kept the bits anyway and left the hoses in place so shouldn't be hard to put back on if needed, I only needed to no the electrical conversion To be honest. The P38 has a link from the bmu under the seat to the mains and negative on the fuse box under the driver seat just wondered if l322's have the same mod.
Thanks wayne
Thanks wayne
hi
may i ask where did u get ur kit from please as it looks like it should have come with a bypass module
ps, if u did reinstall the EAS system there are extremely knowledgeable members here to always guide u
Absolutely. It's the RR equivalent of those morons who fit lowering springs to Ford Fiesta's and Focuses, then crash the first time they go round a fast corner. Manufacturers spend hundreds of millions of pounds designing suspension systems that offer handling, stability, control, grip and ride comfort. Fitting some aftermarket kit to a vehicle, simply ruins the vehicle, and potentially makes it dangerous. Imho any suspension changes from the manufacturers specification should fail the MOT, and not pass until it's returned to the factory setup.
And pretty much every other make of vehicle too. When I worked for a dealer of French cars, spring failure was at epidemic proportions. There was actually a special clamp on cup supplied by the manufacturer, which was clamped to the strut under the springs to catch the broken bits, helping prevent them from ripping the side walls out the tyres.
It's actually pretty unusual for FL1 spring to fail. They do very occasionally, but far from common. Other vehicle makes have much higher spring failure, than early LR stuff.

That is the most relevant question IMHO - it's about as far as can be from a daft question
.I doubt they will want to know about cover unless they were type approved for coils for the UK market .....
Then there's the point about C&U regs ......
Also, I suspect it would count as a fundamental change under MOT regs, and therefore, given its age subject to SVA and a Q plate. OMO - but all these points need a damn good look at before the work could be done
Of course, as already mentioned, given the AT made of cheese, the chances of it moving under it's own power grow less day by day
