P38 RANGIE AIR TO COIL SPRINGS

[carls200tdi]

Hi has anybody on here converted  a p38 rangie from air suspension to coil springs if so how easy is it and how long did it take as i have been asked by a mate to help to do one we have access to a workshop with a 4 post ramp etc.
Any pics or info would be appreciated thanks.

I can't think why you'd want to but IIRC you fit a samll electronic gizmo to dissable the EAS  without rasing any alarms, you fit spring seats to the axles and chassis then pop the coils in, hey presto.  A P38 that doesan't handle any better, is worse off-road and less stable at high speed ;)

As RRB says i wouldnt bother they are better with airbags, if you have problems with the system get the bags replaced and the pump Piston replaced and it will work fine (just done my dads) it was better off road than my Discovery :oops: :'( (on the same tyres) and it hase the advantage of not looking like an offroader when on the road as it can be set to normal but when off road it has the Extra Articulation :dance:

our garage regularly does this conversion, and its very good, ive test drove a few of them.
there are a few kits out there, and the cheaper ones are crap, they never sit level, and a couple of otherissues, there is one kit only our man will now fit, cannot remember the name, but if you want to know , let me know and ill find out for you.
