My mates L322 came out of warranty yesterday.
Then this, this morning...
Ouch!!! With a bit of luck it's maybe electrical gremlins ,rather than the real thing.Finger crossed!

He says it thinks it's frozen. Hopefully a sensor...

That's a 2011 model ?

Not quite sure, I think it's a 2010... Certainly by my standards it's brand spanking new. Does quite a lot of work miles in it, so it's seen some use already.
He's a had a bit of trouble with the turbo too. Dealer hooked it up to diagnostics and said there was nothing wrong, but driving it down the road caused a 20foot cloud of oil smoke out the back. Great fun, but not nice to those behind you.

Wonder if he's has the gearbox serviced yet ?

I doubt it. Unless the dealer offered to do it.
He doesn't like to get his hands dirty if he can help it!
It must be a 2011 model, it's only 18 months old.

I'll let him know. I thought they's sorted the gearbox problems out on the later L322s?

Still don't mean you shouldn't service the gearbox ! Lol
Plus it's not old enough to start causing issues yet

There's a fair to middling chance he doesn't know you can service a gearbox!

No, the gearbox is still fragile, just not to the same extreme. However they didn't make the mistake of selling it as sealed for life. IIRC, it is every 5 years or 50k, whichever comes first.

Sounds like next time he buys new he should use a different dealer. You don't buy a car that new to have to worry about these things yourself.

I couldn't agree more.
The turbo issue ended up being a bearing seal or something. The dealer he bought the car from (brand new) claimed there was nothing wrong because the diagnostics said the car was fine.
However a test drive up the bypass would have shown them that once the turbo was spinning up to speed, a 20 foot cloud of black smoke poured forth from the exhaust.
Some dealers are just crap I think, or at least, they just don't think.

One day past the end of warranty, I would expect LR to pay.
