    P38A EAS again.

    Thanks for that. They are similar figures to what I could see. I may swap them over and see if the fault moves or stays. But I think in the end you are right, get 2 and that should eliminate them. Island 4x4 do OEMs which are £££, Eurospares for about £50 each. Or is it work...

    P38A EAS again.

    I took the RL off, it looked a little suspect and had been custom wired into place, lots of glue or something on it too, Found out why, the mount is broken. Then I took the RR off, seems to be as per original. Putting a meter over the pins they both behave very similarly. Not sure what we...

    P38A EAS again.

    No, you are right, it just dropped on the springs that are old, so the entire rear, the front was not so noticeable I need to swap out the other springs and get a couple of replacement rear height sensors if the cleaning of connectors does not work.

    P38A EAS again.

    The rear springs are Dunlops fitted 8-10 years ago, so on the limit age wise, but only done maybe 20-30K miles in that time. The age probably trumps that. When the schrader valves were on it it stayed up for 3-4 months with no issues, then very gradually the rear started dropping after that...

    P38A EAS again.

    Hi All 1996 P38 4.6 HSE. This all stems from a problem I had a while ago. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/unrepairable-eas-fault-after-side-steps-fitted.390318/ Here is the latest. Last year I had a problem which meant installing the Schrader valves and manually pumping the suspension...

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    The car is a 1996 GEMS 4.6 which had a single exhaust which was replaced 5 years plus ago due to it being totally knackered. The exhaust I replaced it with a Direnza twin tailpipe exhaust which meant re-routing the hard lines along the rear axle to make space. There is a large pipe that runs...

    Update. Bumpy ride to friend's workshop. On the bump stops the exhaust (custom 3" rear pipes) had burnt through one of the flexi brake hoses to the point that I had a low brake fluid message pop up after 5 miles or so. Also burnt through ABS sensor cable. Pumped up deflated and folded air...

    Got the Schrader valves. Going to somebody local to the car that has a good shop compressor. If any bags are split I will swap the damaged one out before heading on....

    Ah. I can see I need to update my address. There are always some to forget. I am actually 150-160 miles away.

    Dunlops and fitting kit ordered.

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    I suspect that may be the case. Question is now..... What do I do to just get it moved and usable over winter.....? Coil springs = No. Pointless. Dunlop bags = Seem to last a little longer than Britparts. Britpart bags = Need to change in next year or 2-3. But half the cost now. Hmmm .

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    Update (or not) Well my car has been stranded outside a family member's house since this happened. I have found it difficult to find the time to get there and spend time on it, but when I do its a 6-7 hour round trip. I have soldered some of the connections behind the kick panels, but its a long...

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    With the fact that the 2 fronts certainly look folded over, I am guessing the only way to properly inspect these is by physically removing them and putting a little air in manually then washing them over with soapy water? The rear is so low I can not see under at the moment. I will start at the...

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    I need to do both. It is not inflating at all, well at least not lifting. That could be the hard fault causing the problem. I think I need to establish good comms and also check the bags. I may be able to reset the hard fault, then test for leaks. If I need to inflate to jack it up and check...

    P38A Unrepairable EAS fault after side steps fitted?

    10 years ago it failed an MOT due to an EAS fault that appeared at the time of the MOT, caused by leaking bags. All 4 bags were then replaced with new Dunlops. They have been perfect until now. I (as we al do) spend a lot of time under the car staring up, so I am sure I would have noticed...

    It was on the bump stops within an hour or so of them completing the work and it was lowered.

    I cannot say whether the rear hatch was left open or not.

    I was charged 4 hours labour to fit the steps, so it was dangling at least 3, could be more.

    The bags are Dunlops fitted 10 years ago and have seen about 3-4K miles a year.

    I did not T them in, just attached them directly to the lines that came out from the block. i could T them in for future usage.
