its not maintenance in that your preventing early failure,
Bingo ! we got there in the end,

preventing early failure is what is generally termed as...…

…. wait for it...….

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Maintenance!
 
I didn't determine who can or cannot buy a P38, you did, by saying that some are not capable of maintaining the systems on them


not bulls**ting anyone. if you have far more experience with vehicle maintenance then fine. i'm cool with that. I have working EAS, you don't. you asked me how to maintain EAS. but I bow to your greater experience.
i asked how you could do routine maintenance to keep eas serviceable, you cant is the answer ,you can notice faults and repair ,and in an ideal world all owners would be capable enthusiasts as yourself which i have much respect for , but p38 is an old capable cheap 4x4 many can get hold of to do a job of work,and if coils help them why should any dismiss that as an affordable option given not all are capable or have the means

youve misread it seems ,you cant maintain a p38 wheel bearing to prevent early failure like an early defender or disco 1,only notice its failed
 
and we're right back where we started at the beginning.

the answers you seek grasshopper are in this thread.

To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.

Planned PREVENTATIVE maintenance, people....

It is used industry wide and started in the aviation industry and is now universally used in all areas from proerty maintenance to vehicle servicing....where items are checked as per a mean time before failure frequency and then changed out to prevent failure....

Like the airbags on a P38, regular inspections at intervals is considered part of a maintenance schedule and to be changed when signs of fatigue show......to MAINTAIN the system.....

its not lengthening the time between failures or preventing any,(just changing a bag before it goes during use ) as was implied that if you service eas it will give you no trouble and longer life
 
I have found servicing the air drier on the EAS by replacing the air dryer beads help maintain the whole system. It also stops the valve block getting messed up with the white powder.
only my opinion though :)

I think it's time to "agree to disagree"
I can see both points of view but this is just going round in circles to no visible benefit.

Better IMO to just replace the dryer rather than frig around with beads that might not be of the right spec. You know what you are doing, many don't. The dryer is on my service list, I replace every 3 years.

So... like maintenance then?


Couldn't resist.

I'll go sit on the naughty step
 
Like maintenance then, but not on the Range Rover service schedule:p:D:D:D

At 24,000 miles and every 24,000 miles thereafter. " Depressurise air system, remove drain plug from reservoir, if evidence of water replace drier". ;)

True, but I replace it regardless of the presence of water in the air tank.
