Good Morning
I've a problem with my P38 and we have tried so many things including searching this site for hours and trying various options from the brilliantly informative members. Bit of background:
P38 Vogue 2002 Automatic with GPL/LPG conversion
Living in France, car recently imported
Land Rover dealer local is awful, decent one two hours away but they struggle with it, it being right hand drive!
We've had many problems with compressor over the last two years and EAS which we thought we had fixed, one balloon was leaking so a new one and a new compressor fitted. Everything was going fine for a month or so then a couple of days ago we got the dreaded Christmas tree AGAIN and the 35mph however....it then clears itself either by magic!, or we clear it with the kicker cable (husband calls it that, apologies if incorrect word). The car does not go onto bump stops, at best it is wonky with height at front, or all high, It drives fine once it has finished flashing and warning beeping. There is no sign of a leak and the car sits all night as left, for example last night it flashed, drove it home fine ignoring the flashing etc, and this morning it is high at front and low at back exacty as it was last night so no loss or air overnight. We have a spare ECU which I plan to try today, but am not holding out much hope. It went to the garage we use locally, fabulous mechanic but he says we must go to Land Rover for things like this as he can't help as no computer programme like they have there. The mechanic checked the joints etc and drove it 20km and it was fine. Car then kicked off again with me last night. When we read the faults there are none relating to EAS at all to the device we use, so obviously nothing to clear - but equally something is very wrong. I am at a loss as to what to do next. I feel changing to springs is the only option as the EAS is costing us so much money with no positive result. Can anyone advise please as I am at my wits end.
Thanking you in anticipation.
