Converting to coils

k341sjr · Dec 14, 2013

Hi all I am planning on removing my rear airbags tomorrow from my s2 disco what needs to be done to the compressor once coils fitted. Many thanks in advance

nothing if you get it changed to coils from air with hawkeye or some of diagnostic kit

Thought I could just unplug it should've known it would need something else. Typical disco

you could but it will just register as a fault on the dash

Thanks for the info

What about removing bulb from behind dash

jamesmartin · Dec 14, 2013

you still need to get it switched over

And you must suffer the slings and arrows of those who will decry your decision to convert over to the cursed coils in 3.....2.......1......

why why why leave it alone man
you might have to tell your insurance company and or remove 6/7th seats
hawkey /nanocom can reset the dash light if need bee

lr produce 7 seat coil springs ,if they think its acceptable i think others will

Slings and arrows? Not from me. Any disadvantages are far outweighed by the fit and forget springs. Much better than worrying when the next cash injection is needed and waking up to a Disco looking like a dog with worms scratching it's a*se on the carpet.

k341sjr · Dec 14, 2013

haha i am sick of the arse end sagging and want to fit springs and forget about them my disco only has 5 seats but i will contact my insurance company anyway just to be safe

k341sjr · Dec 14, 2013

next question: anyone in or around Northumberland to reprogram my ECU once the conversion is done and how much should i expect to pay thanks lads.

k341sjr · Dec 15, 2013

have held off changing springs today untill i can find someone to perform the software removal/reset

you could also take off compressor and sell it on ebay, mighy help pay for the springs

Can any of you guys tell me where the fuse is located to stop the warning chimes as I cannot get the software reprogrammed till the 6th of January many thanks in advance

Coils any day, and I've owned both.

how did the convertion go?

He hasn't been on here since 2014. I can say mine has been great since changing to coils. How much is the hitch weight for a burger van?
