P38 Range Rover EAS Problems
ben_haynes:
My dad has just bought a 1995 Range Rover P38 and the air suspension is playing up,
it works ok one day then the next the light flashes on one setting and is on at the exit setting and it bounces and knocks, it then does not change when it should like over 50MPH,
it does not sink over night or leak at all, i have done air leak checks on all joints with a bit of WD40, the compressor works ok and gets up to a good pressure, i assume the valve block works ok, all the air bags are good (one replaced before it was bought)
HELP PLEASE :cry:
Thanks in Advance

Plenty of reading to be done over at www.rangerovers.net on EAS problems.

See Andy Cunningham's www.p38a.co.uk website, and also do a Google Groups search on the alt.fan.landrover newsgroup.
Check for leaky air bags using detergent and water. Check the unions as the o-rings sometimes perish. Crud on the airbags can lead to leaks when they fold.
The compressors will sometimes fail; you can recondition them but I've not done this myself. The air intakes can sometimes suck gunk into the compressor. If the truck takes more than a few minutes to jack itself up when you go from crouch to raised air bags, the compressor's probably faulty. How long is yours taking?
The valve blocks can also fail, and this can be expensive to fix. Why do you "assume" it's not faulty?

I "assume" they are not faulty as it works 90% of the time but it has been playing upfor the last few days then today when i went to check it out it was playing up went in for lunch, went back out and it was working fine :!:
the when it works it takes a minute or so but when it is not it does not move at all :?:

:D
Also have the height sensors checked.
I had a P38 1995, replaced all the air bags, took it to Glenn Speak in Whitworth to reset the BeCM and found a faulty height sensor.
After that it was great, airbags are about £65 to £75 on Ebay.
Although they have plastic tops and bottoms not alloy like OEM, but they are cheaper than LR.
They are made by the same company tho `Dunlop`.
After that i saw sense and went back to a Disco, to many potential electrical problems.
Mine was a 4.6 HSE on lpg, did not suffer the porous block tho.
Lovely car but to expensive to maintain.
