I'm looking at a D3-D4 HSE do they have air suspension as standard? Do the seven seat vehicles have air suspension?

Affirmative and affirmative. There are some exceptions of coils but I recall they were likely imports. Stick your head under a wheel arch to be sure if you don’t see the suspension controls in cab.

The S base model in very early D3 years had coil option. Don’t think manual was ever offered in Oz.

All 7 seaters are on air regardless of trim level unless some heathen has converted it.

D3s - some base models had coils only.

D4s - will have EAS unless someone de-specified it from the factory or removed it once it was here: I've seen just one factory-spec coil D4 for sale, a couple of years ago.

Seven seats were technically an option on the D4 but again, it was standard on all Australian D4s unless you de-specced it from the factory. I saw one D4 without them a couple of years ago - you can tell because the 2nd row seats aren't 33/33/33 but are instead 60/40.

Interestingly one is in Perth a UK. import, I've asked how when it was imported, still no reply.

I wonder if it was one of the South African specced versions as they made a special request to Land Rover for coil versions of the D4 for the African continent.

A coil conversion would make maintenance a lot cheaper and the car a lot more reliable once it starts to get high km, it would also remove the risk of ending up on your bump stops in the middle of nowhere

Umm, you're talking to a guy who has bought the SLS parts to change a coil D2 to airbags.

And if you carry a GAP tool,most faults can be temporarily sorted,one way or the other.

The EAS makes the vehicle such a pleasure to drive,and without it, has lost quite a lot of capability.

Even though i had quite a few issues with the EAS in mine,it never actually let us down to the point it was on its bump stops or needed a tilt tray.
And we did a lot of remote area travel.

Sure the repairs did empty my pockets...[bigsad]
