A useful, succinct, no-nonsense video. Like your chilled presentation style. Been getting an oil pressure light at tick-over so needed to check that bolt so I can sleep at night. Job went well. Thanks for creating this and sharing.

Yes,unless you want to ride around with a fault code on the dashboard. Anyone with a diagnostic tool can do it.

what are the benefits of the conversion.
@chewypineapple7362 жыл бұрын
It actually doesn’t handle as well - performance wise I would say there aren’t really any benefits at all. The benefit of this conversion is purely reliability.. the air system is very good and not difficult to diagnose or maintain but if you live in an extremely rural area than this is the conversion for you because it physically can’t really break
@chrisgreenwood2712 жыл бұрын
@@chewypineapple736 I would agree the air suspension gives a better ride, understandably an advantage to change to coils for your application. I own P38 range rover that is on springs (done by others) it is adequate for my means, but the original air ride suspension gives a far better ride.
@chewypineapple7362 жыл бұрын
A lot of people say bad things about the air suspension, but it is very easy to diagnose and replace parts. This was only changed in preparation for an outback trip, I may change it back at a later date or even try out a coilover system if curiousity gets the better of me

Do you need to keep the height sensors or can they be removed? If I can remove them will it cause any codes?
@chewypineapple7362 жыл бұрын
You can bin them if you want but no harm in leaving them, yes removing them will generate a code but it will throw a code when you convert it anyway so you’ll need to change the bcu setting to “spring mode” this will erase any suspension related codes

To anyone thinking "this can't happen to me", it happened to me! Driving on the motorway at 70MPH I suddenly saw my oil light come on. Luckily I immediately pulled over and switched off the engine before any damage ocurred. The pulley bolt had indeed come undone. I was lucky I noticed the light come on when I did.

Far better to keep the air bags if you can, ride and usability is far superior. People don't realise that they are a service item, need to change every 6 years or so

Thanks , great video, want to use original bolt so going to have to go the route you did and use the old bolt . What grade locktite / nutlock did you use ?
@chewypineapple7362 жыл бұрын
I used a cheap generic high strength/permanent studlock from repco with high heat tolerance. In an ideal world I would have used the most suitable “loctite” number... I think 272 would be good from memory, but it is important to research the different types of any threadlocker for it’s intended application before buying

If you strip the thread on the centrifugal oil filter, (mine came back like that from when I let a garage service it) just drill through and put a 10 mm nut and bolt on it instead.
@chewypineapple7362 жыл бұрын
A nut and bolt is a good alternative to a larger bolt. In this case, the previous owner had already made the choice for me

The bump stops are seperate from the springs and bags, the coil conversion kit will only come with springs, cushions and seats. The bump stops should be already on there further down the chassis 😎

Well done, pardner. My only bit of advice is an old one; "buy once, cry once." I've had the same set of taps and dies for 35 years and still use them. Okay, so I have replaced one or two little ones that broke because of my impatience, but you get what I mean. Buying them piecemeal when you need them is the MOST expensive way to build your tool set. Keep your eye out for good tools on sale and pick them up when you DON'T need them. That way when you do need it, you have just the thing at hand. Now I have to go and do the coils in my old Disco. Thanks for the video and best of luck. Cheers from Texas!

Hi Tom, you can take them out after you have disconnected both ends (at the bag and at the pump) or you can choose to just leave them hanging (what I did) - tie them out of the way if you wish and cover the ends so that they can be re-used if you ever change your mind and go back to air, or to give the next buyer the choice of either air or coils.
