Might work as an emergency thing, but I would still recommend getting a full oring repair kit. If you don't already have one, get an EAS Unlock Cable too. If you put the covers back on the wrong solenoids, no big deal. Just operate them manually and you will soon know which is which, and then move them to the correct spot. Use the diagram at the top of this page as a reference for which solenoid operates which corner. Hi George, good luck with orings from the hardware.

We used silicon grease as used for swimming poorl and divig gear o-rings. Found it handy to remove the ECU to help remove the air-lines. We purchased clay bead dessicant from Wholesale Group International for the air dryer -they have offices worldwide. Suggest you remove US company **** ****** from you websites as we sent them $50 for dessicant and a comressor recon kit with not a word from them since we paid. Overall very glad we did the EAS. Its running great and cost peanuts . Paul- thanks to your great diagrams etc after being horrififed for a quote for rebuilding the EAS on my P38 my son and I tackled the job with a succesful outcome.

Sticky solenoid valves might be a mechanical problem rather than a driver fault. Unfortunately I do not know how to bypass the EAS Driver unit. Perhaps the good folks at http://aulro.com or http://rangerovers.net can offer more suggestions. Best wishes, Paul. Hi Mike

One question though: do you know a way to bypass the valve block driver? It seems mine is shortcutted, inlet and right side valves won't work through the driver. Happy to hear and tx! Mike Hi Paul,

tx for the extensive explanation, very helpful. One question though: do you know a way to bypass the valve block driver?

It seems mine is shortcutted, inlet and right side valves won’t work through the driver.

Happy to hear and tx!

Then use a small flat-head screwdriver on the underside of the socket to push the old terminal out. Insert the new terminals noting which way the locking lug goes to ensure it does not slide back out. I do not believe the pressure switch wires go in any particular order, or I have just been lucky on the few I have changed. Cheers, Paul.
