How to convert a 2001 Range rover 4.6 HSE from Air Bags to Shock Struts & Springs. I have replaced the air ride computer and the air bags. Had installed a manual system using switches. the rear air bags still deflate after a couple of days. I am fed up with this and would like to remove the air bag system and install shock struts and coil springs. Is there a conversion kit, and how do I do this ?

I presume you replaced the damaged loom and cleared the OBD codes.

Check for cracks in the rear bags. They wear out and weather, and then bleed out air.

height sensors may have failed or air bags faulty but this should produce a fail code.

Stop letting people talk you into cr@ppy springs - the vehicle has a EAS for good reason.

After checking the air tanks and air lines for leaks do the following:-

1- get a new compressor or get a compressor repair kit plus a new relay switch - easy install + if that works - fine, if not
2- purchase new US made air bags from Arnotts and check the struts when replacing the bags - if that works - fine - if not
3- check & replace the 4 EAS sensors.

The only other fault could be with the computer module itself.

installing springs is a loser's fix - you might as well just go buy yourself an ox wagon.

It is possible to go with conventional springs/shocks instead of the air ride system. This has become a common "fix" for faulty air bags due to the expense. The ride will still be great, you will only lose the load leveling ability that the air bags provided.

there is a ride hieght sensor on rear lower control arms creck for damage and connection.over load rear suspention,4/5 people on back bumper with key on see if pumps up.also check fuses.try jumping compress to test compressor.worst case replace struts and use coil springs,eliminating air ride issues.

Yes, theres a kit that replaces the air bags with shocks and springs and then they give you a small module that connects in the trunk to the air suspension diagnostic connector to turn off the air ride light and keep compressor from running, i,ve found that the price ends up costing the same or more to replace than repair. i have done a ton of these and the problem is the bags leak and sometimes cause the airpump to go bad, theres a web site i use that sells these parts cheap and they work great, start by replacing the bags and then the compressor if needed, the selinoids on the bags are reuseable, now if this car has the front and rear air ride then it is cheaper to convert and i think this car does if its got the v6 engine then it is front and rear air suspension, they sell a kit for 499.00 dollars and comes with struts and springs complete to convert i think just one air strut is 200.00 so it is cheaper to convert .i hope this helps, the web site is get google Airnott industries and then go to the coorect year and make for your car,

The rear air bags are probably blown, or an air line broke. The lincoln air bag systems can be expensive to repair, about $300 a side for the bags if i remember correctly. Aftermarket companies make replacement springs, getting rid of the air bag all together and at a more reasonable price. A google search will point you in the right direction to aquire parts for either direction you chose to go.

ive had two of these they have a prob with the bags going bad and they are about 500.00 each i went too the junk yard and got a set of 16 inch recoil springs and replaced the bags with them took about an hour too do it and only cost 20.00 for the springs and the ride was even better than the bags
its an easy job too doojust pull the wheels drop the bottem part of the shocks then pull the pin out of the top of the air bags (thru the wheel wells) disconect the air line unscrew the bag 1/4 turn and its out the coil spring fits right in put your shock back on and wheels and your done and cut the power too the pump

Sounds like worn or blown struts - they control the oscillation of the car on rougher roads.
