One thing i dont get is why duznt LR switch to hydraulic suspension i mean if u check out any forum most complains are about the EAS.Come on now its almost 15 years and LR cant get it right so they should scrap the whole idea and switch.Look at land cruiser and lexus suspension u will never hear them complaining about their suspension it also has the same features like height control andauto leveling but i have yet to meet some one with that problem.i have been a off road tour guide here in dubai for the last 7 yrs and had a 1998 L/Cruiser with AHC(active height control) we did some serious dune bashing I MEAN SERIOUS with a full load of 6 passengers + driver (me) and that thing never gave up in fact my friend who i sold it to is still using it it has over 300,000kms on it and AHC is still in good nick i was wondering why duznt LR switch even the porsche Cayane and VW toureg have the same problems with air suspension .Dont get me wrong i'm a big rover had and own 2 LR's but just wondering why o why LR admit it that s*it dont work and swap systems .

Ride quality & comfort, more flexibility and angles.
every 18-wheeler on the road uses the same air susspension as we have on the rovers. LR should come up with a maintance plan for the system, or some type of replacement kit or " fresh kit".
My parents have a Monaco 42' RV, the chassis was produced by http://www.roadmasterchassis.com/, even they have a service at 30,60,90,120,160K miles to check the air bags, replace cracked, warn air hoses, or install " refresh kit 1 per axle " ie: new air lines, bags, and fittings".

If anyone want to see how this was answered in full, check out the P38 side.
We tore this apart. It was answered in our favor, of course.

Actually, even Toyota recognizes the pitfalls of air/hydraulic suspension systems. In the new Land Cruiser, Toyota publicly stated that it did not give Land Cruiser the Lexus electronic hydraulic suspension because it did not want to compromise it's durability/reliability in remote areas and for ease of repairs. Apparently, Toyota aims the LC to be the off-roader of the twin, while the Lexus LX570 is the bonafide mall cruiser. Therefore, the LX has the electronic hydraulic suspension, while LC does not.
Land Rover may want to consider this in their next redesign. Although Lexus system is more reliable than Range Rover's, Toyota recognizes the reliability issue with any type of electronic suspension.
