That's great thanks.I've not brought the vehicle yet but just didn't wanna buy something that couldn't be fixed up. I'll chat with the misses now an see if she'll let me have it  :)

Worst case scenario you can take the air springs out and fit new lower spring seats and springs, the dampers are already fitted and as a bonus the front ones are already ahead of the axle not inside the coil.

HOWEVER, when working properly the AES is a good system and will make the car far more capable off-road.  If all that's wrong is a faulty air bag then swap it, if it's a faulty sensor then change it.  You can fit uprated shock to an EAS car but the standard ones are different form coil sprung cars abd you cannot fit longer shock without extra work.

I changed from air to coils about two years ago on my LSE, and it drove / greenlaned fine, perfectly happy with it. Speak to Foundry4x4 they did the kit for mine i spoke to them explaned it was for an LSE  and gave me stffer springs on the back for her heavy back end!!!

Range Rover Blues:
I've no doubt it drives fine with coils on, but the EAS has a few tricks up it's sleeve that coils simply can't pull off and combined with even the simple traction control fitted to later RRC makes the thing far more capable than earlier unmodified cars.

Plus of course I can have a lift at the touch of a button, it still goes in the garage and it does corners on the road.
