What did you do with your Range Rover today

doriz · Dec 3, 2023

Well, I packed in a fridge freezer and a washing machine in the ‘38 today. Still had room for two suitcases and a 3m tube of edging beads.

Thats the one, the road was pure sheet ice I nearly went into neighbours car myself,
if they had knocked and said this has happened id have been happy with a 2nd hand light or a new lens and ignored the scratches on the bumper (since iv scuffed it by the towbar recently)
I did do a bit of driveway spotting, small town and my roads not really a cut through but no joy

Its not too much to expect a bit of fairness is it

Shut up you bellend

Sorry as a real owner I have put up many pics of my 630R and the L322 and all the love they get.
You seem to move yours around on the drive and yet never prove you actually have 1, so me thinks you sound like a 12 yr old with a wish list :vb-wave:

Prick...

Had a MK1 Escort in my teenage years, so you what MK1 should I have?

So, what did we learn today about the new (to me) ride.
1. For a north of 140k 15yr old car she does drive remarkably well. Even the wife remarked how quiet it is and her daily is an electric car!
2. It still smells from being wet. (is dry now but I think the carpets need some shampooing to freshen them up a bit)
3. An ikea 190cm lack shelf will only just fit from back of drivers seat to tailgate so 1.9m is about your max length of payload.
4. The rear wiper does half a sweep then sticks.
5. The head unit may not be dead after all. It sprang into life briefly today a couple of times so I think I will check out the audio module behind the glove box first as this commands power to the head unit and that was the side that was wet through.
If I don't have to take out the dash that is a huge bonus.
6. The gearbox fault the previous owner told me about doesn't seem to happen. Gearbox works fine (caveat to that shortly)
7. All 4 heated seats work perfectly as does the heated steering wheel. However, only one side of the heated front screen works.
8. Throws up random eas/hdc/transmission/park brake faults on most journeys. Yesterday I thought it was maybe a weak battery but once today when it did it it was showing an implausible reading from brake switch.
Checked and brake lights don't come on until after noticeable braking effect is felt and every time I got the 5 bongs today was when applying or coming off the brakes. I think a new brake switch is a worthwhile investment.
9. Also sometimes throws the eml on but no limp mode. Seems to be an egr sensor issue so needs looking at.
10. Think the suspension needs calibrating. It does seem to wallow on right hand turns slightly more than left hand and the deadings seem diagonally out if that makes sense.
11. After 50 miles of mixed driving the mpg has climbed to 17 now and still going up so hopefully we will get into the 20's soon

Overall, lots to do but still think I've got a reasonably good motor for the price.
Just can't decide which to tackle first.
I think brake switch and rear wiper are most important.
Wish me luck!

We found IKEA stuff would just fit diagonally across the boot and rear seats (fully lowered) in Otto if we stacked them on their sides instead of flat.

Booked Otto in for fuel pump and MOT on Tuesday next week. Fingers crossed that will be reliability (by p38 standards) and a pass with nothing more than age related advisories. They'd like me to have siphoned some more of the fuel out first for doing the pump though.

Is this the cabin temp sensor on the l322? Anyone know if there's a separate sensor for the rear seats or is it just the single sensor?

Just the 2 dials. Temp and blow, with heated seat button on the centre.. can't see a similar vent

thanks. what it doesnt say, i think, is more important than what it does say.
i have difficulty with temp control and generally, have it set to manual with the centre vents open to control temp with the red/blue manual control
as said previously, rear only blows cold unless rear operation is disabled then it blows the same as the front
i think there is only one temp sensor (the one in my pic) and i think its broke and only gives a hot signal

think i need to start a separate thread later

Page 4 seems to say it all.
So make sure the temp is turned up full and the fan on full otherwise its only gonna be the same settings as the front.

Why is it a problem are your legs that long you sit in the back to drive?

I actually remember something from before about the "hedgehogs" and there maybe 1 in the back too. need to look back.
