hey guys i have a 2000 D2 with ACE, the rear bags have failed ( we believe it is the compressor) thinking of converting it to coil rear end. Does anyone know of company which does a kit here in aussie ?
Thanks in advance

The Landrover Mob in Cairns (qld) do some work in this area. I think they supply parts that convert air bags to manual inflation system. I am currently in SA so I do not have any more details for them than that.
MR Automotive in Brissy may also be a source of advice. It is also possible to replace the air compressor and solinoids with aftermarket parts if you technically inclinded.....

Mine seems more stable with spring conversion. However I think it needs some stiffer shocks.

The D2 responds well to stiff rear shocks.

give British off road a call on 07 5445 1094 they are on the sunshine coast and will have all the parts in that you require (you just need springs and spring plates) and they ship Australia wide on a daily basis
