Look, Ill be the first to say it... You should weigh your options first.

Vehicles Intended use. Mileage of said vehicle, time and money, level of mechanical experience. (If you like spending weekends underneath a rover more than another human..?)

One must have a since of humor. Once you've solved one issue, months, maybe weeks pass and something new rises (<--Pun).

The 3+? yrs with coils have been awesome.

That's fair. The EAS is a great piece of Engineering but it's also high maintenance. That said, the OP should still get themselves an IIDTool, whether they are on coils or an EAS.

 

Thanks much everyone; I appreciate all the opinions/feedback. I ultimately decided to take it into the dealer for diagnosis, and they were able to solve the issue. TBH, I'm not sure what exactly they did. The dealer only charged the diagnosis fee (approx. $130, if I recall). I did take my P38A Range Rover there several times over the years, so perhaps there was some "customer loyalty" aspect involved...

I really needed to get the vehicle up & running ASAP.

The LR3 now raises/lowers, and all the Terrain Response options work as expected. I will definitely look into the GAP IID tool for future scenarios if need be.

Thanks much again for the advice; it's greatly appreciated.

 

Ya know....I always liked the P38, although everyone in my local Land Rover club trashed it. I understand that it was never great off-road, but I won't forget the way it felt when I first test drove one. In fact, I felt like the LR3 drove more like a P38 than any other Rover. It influenced my decision to buy it in 2005. This picture re-enforces my feeling that they share a lot of DNA. Look at the resemblance!

 

Oh....and get an IIDTool NOW! Don't wait until you need it.

 

How much is GAP diagnostics paying you?

 

Not as much as Atlantic British pays me promoting coil conversions.

 

I don't know, I love the EAS, I feel like putting coils on would kill the soul of the vehicle.

Also I don't like driving around with full time 2" plus lift.

i DD and Offroad my 3.

 

Advertising dollars well spent I'd say...

 

@KMET and @ABRAN

Y'all got jokes!! Pretty funny....

I admit it. I unabashedly pimp the GAP product, but only because of how much it has helped me. I get no kickbacks.
