Anyone with EAS?
Grant:
Arnotts are replacement airbags, no other changes to the EAS needed. www.rover-renovations.com
If one bag is on the way the rest probably are. Otherwise change in pairs, i've got Gen II's on the back and oems on the front.
£1400 or rebuild the valve block for £12 hmmmmmm :lol:

--- Quote from: "PoPrivit" ---Yep got EAS on my 1995 classic. what problem did you have to make you change the bags. Mine gives you a bit of kickback when you go over large pot holes and i also get a pull to the middle of the road that is worse when the car drops down to the high speed setting :) well i say high speed but it's a 300 tdi so no rocket ship.

That's the one, bad kickback. Julies Soft dach does it too so I think it's caused by the ABS axles, the roads round here are [PooPoo] but Blue just rolls over them smooth as silk, I love that old truck :D but trying to get the LSE to do it smoothly is hard, mind you once I'd fitted the Arnott springs I was driving down my test road, the worst one for miles arouns thinking 'yep, this is a little better', then I saw how fast I was going :shock: Big improvement

--- Quote from: "Jonny Boaterboy" ---so what are Arnott GIII? are you talking about replacing the 4 air bags with Arnott GIII type bags with no other changes to the EAS? If so are you saying that you are geting alot more travel out of the bags? Does this mean you can have the EAS ECU high profile adjusted to give you a even higher ride hight off road? if you can can all the other componants to do with surspesion cope with the extra lift? Can you replace one bag at a time as and when the O.E. bags fail?
uhmmm alot there is'nt there....just yes or no answers will do!
As for EAS I think it is awesome push the button for a 2" lift for offroading..... bit cheeper than haveing a 2" lift on coils
Mine has only let me down once and that was because I did not replace the compressor untill it stoped working altogether!
Just for the record, I was told by my local landrover garage that the air surspension on the classic's is second to none. to replace the valve block is £1400 so it must be good!

I've got some pictures to post but basically you sub the Gen III air bags for you old ones and that's it, smoother ride because they have changed the spring rates, much stiffer in low profile, softer at high.
Then you can p!ss around with the height settings, I have rovacom :D , my high prifile is about 3" lift at the back, with inches of droop still to come, I've fitted +2" shocks and the air bags still don't fully extend but I did get an error code on the EAS computer when I tried a "getting some flex" shot whilst on holiday (fixed in 2 minutes with my laptop). I could go for bigger shocks except that plus 2" is the longest shock that will fit without longer bump stops and unlike coild, my car still goes down to the bumps when lifted. EAS will actuallly force articulation if it thinks you are stuck.

i'm hoping to convert mine to air springs if i can find some money to do it
Range Rover Blues:
I know a couple of people who have done it already. Bit of work involved but TBH if I had to start over from scratch I'd go for an EAS car rather than lifting a coiler.
