P38 Air Suspension - Brisbane Area

[adm333]

Folks

Well I know I'm not Robinson Crusoe but I have assembled a number of useful EAS tools and I am more than happy to help out anyone in Brisbane having EAS problems.

I have the following.....
- EAS fault read, unlock and recalibrate tools and custom cable
- Manual EAS controller (bypass ECU altogether)
- Ability to rebuild / renew valve block
- spare swap out valve block if needed

Could help save someone a few bucks.

Feel free to send me a PM

I think you and I need to get together for a few brews and bring your air suspension ride with you and I'll look at doing some mods and installs to your tank to enable you to also fix/Diagnose the Us aircompressor problem.

Its been on the cards for a while but no-ones voulenteering their vehicles for me to climb around on.

(and I wouldnt mind cloning your controller kit to add to my box o tricks)

Sounds like fun, I'm in.

Dave, I like your idea of getting some valve stems from split rims tubes to use on the tank.

Does anyone have any old tubes from which they'd like to cut the valve stems as sell them to me?

If any of this applies to the D2 SLS system, then I'm happy for you to use my truck for your research.

I've just replaced both the Airsprings, and was wondering if I could replace the std compressor with a larger one that could also be used for tire inflation, etc.

ok for those interested I'll lay this sunday on for air suspension work, namely checking out the layout for plugging in external compressors and pressure gauges (might even be able to lay in a free kit.)

Pm me using AIR suspension as the topic if your interested.

I reckon I can spare a couple of hours on Sunday to participate in this exercise.

I will have my 6 YO son with me, but that should not be a problem.

PM sent as well.

I could post up my Rovair for people to play with if wanted. Express Post and it would be there before the weekend.

Ty for the offer Ron but Im acually after vehicles so I can plan out hose routings for remoting the air pressure up to the engine bay so that anyone can quickly and easily get air back into the system and then disable it.

The first part will only take about 20 minutes or so and the rest will be spent experimenting with fuse pulling and cable trickery.

If time then permits Im going to drop the shielding off of the aircomp and see if I cant find a way of putting a compressor in that draws its air from the air inlet Afer the filter, putting a better compressor somewhere else (like an insulated box with a battery+dual battery system) or putting a better compressor inside the engine bay.

For the P38A, that's fairly easy. The compressor and valve block are in the engine bay. See EAS Override (http://rangerovers.net/repairdetails/airsuspension/replumb.html)

Sounds like you'll need an air-suspended Classic for this weekend.

I built my own version of a Rovair which I will take with me.

I posted pics under a thread called "EAS manual controller" or similar.

I have carefully soldered one end of a DB25 cable into the back of the ECU harness so I can readily connect my manual controller and bypass the ECU altogether.

I now also have the EAS unlock tools on the laptop and have made up the OBD2 connector.

So did you guys end up getting together and have a mess around with air suspension.??

Sorry I wasn't able to make it.....I was on holidays and didn't see the message.

If you still want a D2 to look over, let me know. As I'm still interested in replacing the LR compressor with a better one, and having an aux air line foir inflating tyre, etc.

Cheers

Hi Ron
Are you looking for the long brass valve stems???
Look for a tyre shop that does trucks,Im sure you would be welcome to scab thru their bin.

I got an adaptor made up that allows inflation of the system via a nitto fitting and use of the compresor but It wasnt as I Intended it to be I snafu'd at work and grabbed the 1/4 inch line as opposed to the required 6mm.

I have some of that now and if time permits I'll square that up and start looking at the next phases...

(Ive done a thread on it somewheres)

Hi, my name is Dean,

A big thanks to all for the ideas and advice posted here.

I have recently joined, found this group at a moment of desperation, EAS issues. I have found my problem to be a worn compressor piston seal, so that needs replacing but have also seen that the bags could do with replacement. I am also Brisbane based and would like know if anyone can direct me to where the best place to get these parts would be? Also reading from the Rover renovations site the Arnott GenIII springs look the business but with a freight cost of $600US it is big time offputting. Does anyone know if there is an Australian supplier of these springs? or an OME equivelent?

Cheers

$600 freight seems to be an error. Is that a price from Rover Renovations or from Arnotts?

In Brissie, try the Hard Range Australia: HRA - Suspension (http://www.hardrange.com/index_files/Suspension.htm)

It was UPS quoted by Rover Renovations.

Thanks for the advice.

Airbag Man right here in Brisbane, can supply new airbags (not the Arnotts though) and the compressor parts.
