I don't think so I've looked at the inventory of the coil kit fitted and no plates rqd for the upper rears just a rubber ring thing. It just has the cut out looks oem

Ok so made a start but rain has stopped play. Started on the rear, removed the coil spring but there are a couple of issues. I can't find the air pipe that feeds the bag, have removed the arch liner but still can't see it. Any tips on where I should expect to find it? I also can't push the...

Thanks for that, i will be inflating with the valves. It says on the instructions for the Schrader valves to run between 2-4bar max. I will prime them with a little over 20 then go up to 3 bar all being well and leave it at that until I've got the software and fired up the eas so long as all...

Pencil sharpener at the ready!!

Thanks something else to remember to check! And thanks to everyone for their input gratefully received. I am going to fit the bags and inflate them with the valves this weekend, then next week once the software, cable etc arrives fire up the EAS system and see what's what. Will let you know...

Ok thanks. I have never had the system running. Bought the car last year on coils, had the compressor and everything left in place won't know what's working or not until I get stuck in. Will wait for the software, didn't think I could run the system with no airbags fitted but was incorrect. I...

Datatek is sending me the cable ect so coming together. Weather depending will get it done this weekend. Just a couple more questions. What kind of pressure should I manually inflate the bags too before removing jacks and applying the weight of the car for the first time? 20 psi sound about...

PM Sent, many thanks.

Ok thanks I think I've got my head around it now. Disconnect battery and stick it on charge. Fit a bag to one corner, inflate using schrader valve in relevant pipe for that corner. Remove jacks/stands and go on to repeat for the next for corners. Once all bags are on, evenly deflate all four...

Ok now we're thinking, I like it! This is a bit Heath Robinson, but bear with me. What if, as I jacked up each corner in turn, removed the coil, installed the bag, deflated. Then had a 6" or so length 6mm hose, connected one end to the bag push fitting, and the other end to an air gun which I...

My first venture into the Land Rover world was in a Disco 1 3.9 Efi. Was a great truck had many a happy green laning trips and pay and plays but after the 3 hour trip to deliver it to its new owner after I had sold it, ending with an hour driving through the country roads of the South Downs and...

Yes replaced the shocks about 5 months back, made a marked improvement but still not great!

Good to know, have committed to the dunlops now. Will see how it goes. This is also on a 2001 V8, a 30th anniversary. It's been on coils since it came into my ownership and have never experienced a P38 on air so hoping it will sort the handling out! It's verging on dangerous at motorway speeds...

Ah bugger, I'm beginning to see why there is no write ups for coil to bag conversions!! Is that 6mm id? And where would you ideally fit the non return valves? Problem is even if you got to a point where you've fitted all 4 bags primed with air and are ready to fire up the system. But you would...

Ok I think I follow you Grrrrrr, what you mean is by using this schrader valves I could pump up each corner individually as I went along replacing each coil with a bag? Apologies it's hard to get the concept across using text, but I think that's the way to go! Nice one.

Ok thanks, the trouble I've got is I can only fit one bag at a time. Meaning one coil off one bag on and for the first one I change it will mean the other 3 airbag feed pipes will be left open until I've dropped the weight on the first back and then onto the next corner to do the same. If I...

Apologies if that last post didn't make much sense half concentrating due to being at work it will never catch on! What I meant was does the push fitting collet on the airbag acts as a non return valve? Ie I can push fit a length of tube into it, partially inflate the bag, then push in the...

I think my bypass loom/eas manual wiring goes into the BECM under the seat. I will take photos and do a write up after although I like your idea of being able to switch back as I'm going to have to go all in and fit the bags, fire up the system and cross my fingers to see what's going to happen...

Thanks chaps i may be jumping the gun but want to try and do the swap this weekend so have just ordered a set of dunlops and the fitting kit/pins from island. I've found several guides on how to remove the bags and fit coils but none the other way around. I think It's simple enough to fit the...

For what its worth i had a similar experience last year that got sorted thanks to the good folk on here, maybe some useful/relevant info in the thread- https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/p38-remote-key-nightmare.286622/page-5#post-3594024
