Thread: EAS to Coils

Thats because 'everyone' who fits an emergency kit forgets one simple little detail.... that the fault could be in the valve body / sensors, and not just pump failure.

The only way to fit the kit is to add (four of them) a tap between the fill-valves and the valve body. This will isolate the bag from the rest of the world....

Funny, just going through your posts..and I've got the same problems of fuel leak... from where the filler pipe enters the tank. Mine also stinks for a day or two if I over-fill the tank.

I've used Q-Bond ($30 or so) to glue and fill the crack in situ. It really sticks to the plastic, so if you wanted to be sure-to be sure...you could cover it with epoxy glue (Araldite)

Did you ever find the EAS air filter? - change or clean or re-make it ? This seems to be one of the 3 main reasons for pumps dying... leaks, blocked filter and lo temperature O rings when the amateur re-builds his pump...

Shop around everywhere for the replacement springs, new prices can vary a lot.!

Just to make your day.........

- I was advised that the EAS shocks are differant to coil spring shocks, its in the balance of bound vs re-bound.

I was going to go springs too...but foolishly decided to keep my 95 Vogue "Original" - should help the value for when I sell it... which will be sooner rather than later!

Yes, standard springs will be okay for the conversion. You need the plates and retainers for the coils also.

Just completed coil conversion easy done one day in me shed in no hurry
a set of king springs 2 inch lift used the same rear shocks i brought a new set of front ultima to suit lift from autoline ,new front shock towers and plates and rear plates they were cheaper than i thought they would be $146.00 from rover craft shockies were 120 a pair and the springs were 280 pretty cheep works realy good and now reliable sits a little higher than in the raised position and a little softer witch is the way i wanted it has the bilstien shocks on rear that were on the air to harsh i think but you here all kinds of ideas probally put a set of ultima's on rear as well soon they pretty good value and if iwant i can change back to air in probally half a day as they come off and go on easy and i still use my compresser to inflate my tyres when needed.

TMA,

So you've noticed the softer ride ? - reckon its worth it for the ride quality alone ?

Hello again,
In the last twelve months the following has been replaced on the vehicle:
- new air con compressor.
- new starter motor.
- new sound system.
- complete rebuild of the EAS, including new air bags.
- hood lining replaced.
- second hand fuel tank
- ABS brake booster pump.
- New battery

When the EAS failed on Friday afternoon, as I was heading up to see my father who is very crook and had to hire a car to get there I decided enough is enough.

I have vented thanks everyone, I am picking up a 2007 Mitsubishi diesel on
Friday, in the meantime I am pondering the future of the vehicle.

Once again thanks to everyone that replied to my post.

Cheers,
Mike

The ride quality of my air to coils is only a little softer proballly only me will notice it but it is there and you do lose that good road hugging feeling and a bit of stability at high speed but like every thing you get used to it and now its one thing you dont have to worry about letting you down plenty of others for that.

I understand what you are saying but the car is now 18 years old and unfortunately components do wear out, seals fail and glues stop working.

With the EAS being completely rebuilt what failed? It should have been ultra reliable. I know of one Classic Rangie with 340 thousand on the clock and all the air system has ever needed was a rebuilt compressor which was done about 5000 kays ago.
