What did you do with your Range Rover today

marjon said:

If you are going to take the battery off there is the wait period before disconnecting, and cant remember anything special when reconnecting.
But I have also just charged it on the car without any issues either.

again 2011, earlier 1s with the key I dont know if any diff.

This is twofarzandanate vintage

On reading instructions again I personally would just remove neg terminal and leave positive on to charge.

I would also leave it in the car, as getting it out is quite a lift from its position.

You may have to do the lock to lock on the steering wheel after reconnection.

+1 I've done this no repercussions

i have fitted an external connector to the 2 charging connectors with an in line fuse so i can just plug a charger in when its parked up for a time

Mine is a 2012 model so not identical
Sticker under the bonnet says disconnect 2 mins after ignition off
I trickle charge mine through the 13pin trailer plug

As above, charge in situe unless you have an antique charger. Connect the charger to the battery before plugging the charger into the mains.

I'm sure I read you can only push 5A through the trailer socket?

does anyone happen to know if all L322 came with trailer stability assist, or was it an optional extra?
not that i want to rely on it, but useful to know. stupid the book doesnt say which things are standard/optional
i dont have the surround camera system or tow assist (for reversing)

i've read elsewhere its only active if you have surround cameras

Damn weather, need to get this L322 on charge and I have auto glass on the drive in the rain fitting a new screen to daughter’s whip.

They usually have a parasol that comes out of their van side to cover the screen work during rain. Once had one that could not get side-by-side, so they had an additional movable cover.

Aye, got some form of parasol over the roof.

a parasol is a sunshade

Would love for it to shed the extra weight, but one needs the seats...

At one point I was curiously looking at electrifying either P38 or L322. Apparently, they tend not to touch vehicles from/post 90s/00s due to the additional electronics :/

Mines gotta go, put a deposit on a nice D2 pick it up Friday

3.6 tdv8 172k vogue se

Cam covers leaking, thermo housing leaking so uses a bit of coolant, a/c fan doesn't work but been told by indy it'll be the motor seized, drivers heated seat not working, does cool tho.

Pulls well nonknocks or anything

Dry as a bone, good sills etc, bit of rust coming back thru on one arch, tailgate perfect

Any idea on value lads/laddettes?

I was thinking 3 grand. I gave 3250 and did the gbox service and rear prop, oh and the heater control valve but I'm realistic on value

You do not need all that weight for extra seats, my Renault Espace had 7 good seats and was about half the weight of an L322.

On the P38, it's fused at 10 amps, anything less would be useless for a caravan.

Put new wheel nuts on the front ns corner.
