Looks good, can you pull into the garage with them on and the rack?

 

Coming home last night an the SES light came on p1417 is the code that came out secondary air value below threshold any input I did a search here and they all say
loose vacuum line which I checked already everything us in place
change the air filter for the sai do they mean the black plastic charcoal canister
and on the other site it's fuse number 37 according to Alldata
any comments and advice?

 

Yes, it still fits in the garage thankfully, having 4 inches to go before I won't be able too.

But now I am looking for larger wheels, I have the 16 inch wheels on it now, I've been looking around and I see the 18 inch and 19 inch stock wheels, some say they are from a 2003, the question, can I just put on 19 inch stock wheels from a newer rover? mine is a 1998 range rover p38. Would I need any thing special?

Thanks for any advice, Is there anything negative going from 16inch to 18 or 19?

The difference in the wheels could mean that you need some hub rings, I am not sure if you will or not but they will easy to get if you need them.

The drawbacks of going up to a 18 or 19" wheel is that you will lose in theory some off road ability with the shorter sidewall. I personally do not care that much about it but I always try to stay with the 50% rule, meaning the rim size should not be more than half of the tire diameter. So if you have 18" wheels you should have 35" tires. Of course this will not happen but if you run something like a 32 or 33" then you should be good. That is for ahrder 4 wheeling too, if you are doing light and camping then you can use just about anything that you want.

 

After all the research and advice, I'm sticking with my 16" rims and now I'm looking for 265/75/16 Tires, now what brand do I want.. hmm.

Thanks for all the advice.

 

Greetings and happy new year!
I have a 2000 range rover that I just bought three months ago. The eas light blinks in the morning but the car eventually raises within 20 minutes or so. However, now it is down and won't come up.
I had it diagnosed and the pump is definately dead. My first thought was to replace the pump, but that doesn't necessarily solve the problem. The pump may have died from overwork due to a leak which would have to be found after the new pump is in. The pump is on order and will cost about $700 for parts and labor, plus further diagnosis for any leaks and repairs, who knows how much more that will cost?

My idea is to spend the money on a conversion kit and be eliminate the eas since the car is 10 years old. I am scraping financially anyway so the thought of future eas costs scares me. INLAND ROVER in Riverside can install a conversion kit for $1,300 or less for springs but not shocks. With shocks they want $1,700.

Finally, my question is who can tell me that they are completely satisfied with the springs vs the air? I liked the air ride before but if springs are similar, then I'd rather convert for financial reasons. I hate to compromise the car but I don't need it to be low just to get in and then raise to drive. That doesn't make sense to me.
Any conversion owners or others interested in commenting?
Thanks for reading.

Dealer tech here, We buy the bags, plus four orings per bag, and install them for 6 hour labour. the install for the springs conversion will be the same as well. Only atlantic british makes a decent conversion kit and its pricey.

I can tell you that you can limp along with a bad compressor if the bags seal correctly. about the only other issue is breaking a sensor and even those aren't that cheap.

give it shot, the springs ride alot worse and the same bags ride the same and keep the same for value.

buy the bags get the shipped to your house and have the dealer install them. its an easy install and not hard at all.

 

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate your time and knowledge.
Here is my other dilemma. I have a trip planned the I already paid for and
I'm supposed to leave Sunday. Tomorrow is a day I could accomplish a fix but I'm still not sure how to get it done. INLAND ROVER is an independant shop and was recommended by a rover specialist. However, they said they do now have a compressor in stock. Is there any other way to get the car mobile other than springs? You mentioned air bags which they may carry, but wouldn't I still need a compressor?

Someone said I could manually fill each bag with a compressor and a floor jack. Is that possible? It would be nice to not have to rush a fix and get the car to LA. I am two hours away from LA and 1 1/2 hours from the rover shop. Anymore ideas? How bout cost of the bags in lieu of springs and what if there is still a leak in the lines somewhere? I am in the dark as this is my first rover.
Thanks again for your comments and help.

unless you have a major leak in the exhaust system then no you wont have a leak in the system.

if the light is on then you have to have it cleared.

but if it isnt on and it takes awhile to go up, go to someplace like Jiffy lube anything with air compressor, look at the large air line at the dryer next to the airfilter box. push the metal ring in and pull out the hose. Take a air nozzle and blow air into it and it will go up.

you can also keep the door open for awhile and then let it get to pressure and then close it and it will dump the air back in. it will take less time and it wont be destructive on the system .
