Howdy Folks,

I'm still having loads of trouble with my EAS :wallbash:, fidgeting self levelling and to make matters worse sometimes it won't even accept new calibration values.

In short:
-Valve, compressor and driver were replaced by previous owner two years ago.
- All new air springs (all OEM)
- All new Height sensors (two britpart and two OEM)
- Slight leak from rear left suspect valve block somewhere, will fix when next removed.

See my thread here for what I have and haven't replaced RangeRovers.net • View topic - EAS, tried everything still Fidgety (http://www.rangerovers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36300&hilit=EAS+Fidgety)

So as a last resort does anyone local have a good working EAS driver that they can lend me to prove whether mine is faulty before I spend on a new one?

Any help.

Going Insane :bangin:

Little black box that bolts onto the side of the valve block.

The solenoids can't be controlled directly via the computer, ie you can't just grab a solenoid and give it 12 volts as it will burn out. The driver box pulses the solenoids.

And cleverly they have a few transistors inside capable of operating at up to 50-60degrees. So as you can imagine the engine bay gets quite hot. Also when they fail they are just very erratic and there is no way of knowing definitely without swapping with a known unit.

I think the EAS on the P38 and rangie classics was the final grand project of the "Prince of Darkness" :mad:, Lucas, if i'm going down i'm taking you with me.

even funnier than that Stu... the EAS is a WABCO unit.

Sure, WABCO do suspension and braking for trucks... but they are owned by American Standard... who are best known for their toilet products :D:D

made me laugh anyway ;)
