When I purchased my RR I knew **** all about EAS. I took the time to learn how it works and I must say its a piece of ****.
I can replace an airbag in under 30 mins. I can replace the compressor and reset the codes in under 30 mins. I also find the parts for a P38 very cheap.
airbag front $180
airbag rear $160
compressor $500 (I now have a spare) and the reason my Comp blew is because I was too lazy too replace the front leaking Airbag.
Not bad for an item that needs changing every 10 years approx (airbags). I can also understand the argument for coils and have no issues with ppl doing the conversion.
Its all about personel choice. I absolutley love the ride comfort with EAS and I've taken the time too understand it. I've also taken the time too understand the P38 and it saddens me too hear of the reputation these vehicles have. I drive mine too work every day 80km round trip and it never misses a beat. Its taken me all over Victoria Its like all vehicles, dont maintain it and it will break.
For me the P38 has the best of both worlds. Awesome on the road and for the type of offroading I want too do its fantastic. If I wanna bush bash hard and scratch some paint then I'll drag out my old series 2A (and get a headache driving it..LOL noisey ol bugger it is) but I love it too.
The only thing that makes me angry is tools that have never owed a RR and somehow seem to think they are experts and constantly bash the P38 ( I think its maybe a small willy syndrome) I'm not saying their perfect but what they fail to understand is simply put by Jeremy Clarkson "Its how it makes you feel when your driving it - the X factor".

We who have EAS dont need to stop unlike coil heads who need to rest their bums

I am well aware of that, used to pee me off having to hold my coffee cup until we stopped. Didn't want to put the empties on the carpet, back then a P38 was worth money.

I think this was a HSE feature only, at least in the earlier models.
Very handy but a bit on the small side & they get knocked by your elbows if they're tall cups.

Earlier p38 hses had the indentations to sort of hold your cup upright, but in the later (bosch)ones they got them in the rear seat armrest (exactly the same as a d2) and in the leather covered center console lid - with rubber. I have had customers spill the coffee on the window switches, and on the becm with bad outcomes. Yes they need more cup holders.
However i am not a range rover driver, i am a county driver I can hold a beverage and drive at the same time.

The other avantage we have in a County is we can order a flat white and froth up the milk with a couple of revs of the diesel.
