I read your post about the Rangie your co-worker is looking at. Coil Springs are very expensive to install and take away from the resale value in my opinion. It kind of gives the impression the car has something wrong with it. If the EAS is not functioning in this particular vehicle, you may be able to pick it up at a substantial discount. You can figure about $2500 to completely replace the EAS components at a Land Rover dealership which will give a 12 month / 12,000 mi warranty on all the parts and labor.
From my personal experience with a tempormental EAS system on a 1996 Rangie, I developed a simple solution to a faulty EAS system. The system allows the air springs to be manually inflated using a tire pump. The system will hold air as long the air springs and air lines are good. It restores drivability to the car and gives the owner an opportunity to save the funds for repair or go another route. I sell these kits online at
