Hi All, just a bit of info...after only a few minor problems with my EAS system, which i was able to reset myself, began to wonder about a Spring conversion...found a lot of info on here for sorting all EAS problems out ..thanks, But eventually i decided to convert to Coil Spring and bought / fitted the kit.It has been on for 4 x months now, and not a single problem with the suspension.The ride seems ok too. Just a thought for all you owners out there who may be fed up with the EAS on your excellent Range Rover.......

Cheers

I fitted new airbags 4 weeks ago, haven't had any problem either didn't really have any prob's before except airbag sag over a few days due to slight cracking of airbags, nice soft floaty type ride restored with no sag...

Bet your's cost you more than 220 quid including retaining clips......

How easy was it to fit the coil spring conversion, how long did it take? I have the same problems and am considering this as an option

Its easier with the use of a Ramp..and very straight forward all instructions came with it and an overide for the EAS ECU so no more beep beeps whilst driving,you just bolt some caps on the axle / body to house the springs and fit the springs as you would airbags.it took approx 4 hrs to do.(kit cost £260-00 + vat)

should have brought a land cruiser then if you wanted springs

Changed mine to coils over a year ago now, best thing I ever did
I took a while looking for the best kit and it now handles far better than it ever did on air
Sell your valve block, compressor, air dryer etc. - you will make more than the coil kit costs, and don't listen to the knockers, it's one less thing to worry about

Language deary language. Glad I don't get down Bodmin way, the wet weather obviously causes severe bouts of the grumpies

Any of you springer boys told your insurance companies about your mods? just wondered what the reaction would be. I am sure on the phone they will say "no problem sir" until you have an incident that requires a visit from the loss adjuster.....

v8kenny · Aug 22, 2009

Told, and noted on the policy............no charge

Now go and chin the 20" chav wheel brigade to see if they have told their insurance company
