Hence why the South African market still sold the coilers up to the D4 for those that preferred a less complex overlanding/touring option.

Figured that would be the case. My thoughts are that as long as the bags are in place then someone will come up with a mod. Fingers crossed! Thats what Defenders are about really,easy to tweak the way you want.Quote:

Where does your L322 spend most of its time?Quote:

My point isn't to create an argument here - rather, that we each appreciate individual opinion. Yes, a spiral piece of steel is less likely to throw a fault code than an electronically controlled air suspension. However, that doesn't make the air spring unreliable, or the coils perfect in every way.
It's almost a religious argument - neither 'side' will convince the other their way is right. Lets just hope the L660 somehow pulls off the impossible, and appeals to both traditionalists and technologists.
I’m simply interested if anyone has spent significant time out bush with air suspension? I don’t mean a big road trip or overland trip, but rather constant bush / desert work over many years. Would be interested to hear. ...I would certainly feel more confident with the simplicity of 4 coils for constant bush work.Quote:

Firestone truck bags are bloody tough.
Quite a few 110/130 owners on here went Firestone truck bags in the rear and I can't recall hearing of any tears/punctures but that doesn't mean it can't happen.
Apparently good old tyre plugs will work as a fix to get you going again.
Constant Bush work.......a work car on property?Quote:

Maybe it’s a case of preventative/predictive maintenance like any other piece of equipment used in harsh conditions.
I’ve got bags on the rear of my defer....sure way more simple than what the all the Land Rover will have but I’m pretty confident I’ll get a good run out of them
If they give an option of coils and air I bet air will outsell coils by a big number...although my bet is there won’t be a coil option.
