L322 It's been a while

Hey guys, I still got my L322 and I want to pour down a gallon of unleaded on it and end it all.

Sitrep:
Air Suspension Inactive
The alarm goes off randomly
Rear O/S door doesn't open from outside
Needs new suspension arm and anti-roll bar links
Window switches and mirror switches don't work on drivers door
Water in the boot
Someone also decided to rip the number plates off - so need new ones
Needs full wheel geometry, as well as wheel is off centre and judders at speed

And on top of all that I rewired the entire stereo with a new unit with Android in it, new amps in the back, crossovers for the doors and everything when the car is off it plays divinely. Once you put the ignition on, engine on, lights you can hear all the interference from all these items.

Car is at 140k miles now and I'm just wondering what I should do. Most of that I can sort out with some £££ but I can't figure out the interference part which makes it tricky.

Hit me with some advice. Fix it or get rid of it.

Air suspension inactive? is she dropped on her ass?

A random alarm issue could be a battery issue.

The Door not opening is either a latch issue or the linkage for the handle has dropped 'orf/.

Rear windows and tailagte seals can allow water into the boot, best check them first.
etc etc.

You probably need filters on the power feeds to the Android.
Also are the feeds from the Android to the Amps balanced or just RCA-Phono ?

I originally got interference on my Android feeds to Harman Kardon door amps in my P38, but resolved it by using balancing converters to feed the amplifier twisted pair wiring - all silent now.

You could try wrapping the feed around a ferrite core. Helps with interference.

I would be concerned about the plates as you may now have been cloned. Expect either speeding fines / parking fines / police etc according to the activities of the thief

I can enable it by clearing the code and I can play with the suspension via my Autocom it stays on for a while then goes off. So not sure where to start, might need to buy https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Range-Ro...218204?hash=item1a36b89d1c:g:dS0AAOSwj2dXjQd7

Random alarm is commonly the bonnet switch on the bulkhead....

Lovely photo's and the colour of your little girls hair is amazing. Cheered my day up to see such a happy looking pair. Mine are long since grown up, even the grand children are out working.
