If the airsprings are the original ones, they will need to be replaced as are almost certainly going to be leaking. Best deal is from Island 4x, front https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/spring-front-dunlop-reb101740-p-4.html, rear https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/spring-rear-dunlop-rkb101460-p-6.html. A number of people have found that the Terrafirma shocks are too stiff and ruin the ride.

Thanks pal

I was told that you need BOGE or Sachs shocks, or your air springs will be as good as coil springs because of shocks who are to stiff, and therefore the ride won't be as smooth as with stock shocks.

Thanks for the heads up mate

There are three different types of Terrafirma shocks for the p38.

TF125/126 std length
TF 144/145 +2" heavy duty. I have these fitted to my car with Arnott Gen III's. Yes a bit hard on the road cf Dunlop but softer off road and much better for towing.
TF176/177 new type +2" with adjustable damping !
