The guy that I bought the car off had died two years earlier and his widow sold it to me and she was German and barely spoke English. I have no idea what it was used for.
I noticed many strange things with the car such as the rear right height...
I'm not dropping revs or running at higher revs. With my current differentials at 70mph on the motorway it runs at about 1,300 RPM. With the 2.76 diffs it will run at maybe 1,100 RPM. So a lower RPM for long trips.
I would not put more stress on...
I was feeling quite smug there until you got to the clutch. 30 or 40 years ago, perhaps ?
With regard to Halfords, my Wife paid £25 to have them change the battery on her late model Zafira, money well spent in my opinion.
cheers J,
Thanks for the info, I jumped on the valve block as it doesn't move when parked overnight or over the weekend when in extended height and locked. I i leave it in any other height it drops to entry height. The suggestion that an airbag...
If I cannot find out the details of the o-ring (if that is the correct solution) then I will probably have to use the sealant. As it is not leaking massively at the moment I can give it some time to see if someone has the answer. I will also...
Sealant can mean any sealant including silicone. Gasket sealant is a special product designed to mimic a gasket. Therefore if there was a gasket there then it would mimic that gasket and achieve the same result.
I don't know if it normally has...
This info is a little confusing kiddo.
If your dropping the revs on the motorway, how are you running at higher revs as well?
One thing that will happen is an amount of extra strain on the rest of the transmission dealing with the extra pull...
There is zero load on that motor. I'm not an expert on the epb but I would checking that everything is connected properly, no broken cables etc. It won't just be going backwards because it feels like it, it will be operating this way because a...
Redex ,diesel system cleaner,250ml from amazon around £5.00quid,the bottle has a measure marked for "2 shots"it say's on the bottle contact website for tank sizes but I just chucked the lot in and filled it up to the cap as a "one of"I think it...
There are many people out there that don't know how to use a spanner, the fact that you do and that you are willing to change a battery yourself, puts you into a minority.
If you know how to, and are willing to, change a shock absorber or brake...
I cannot remove the solenoid and drive to my local friendly garage motor to get a new O-ring. So I would need to get the O-ring first and then take off the solenoid and put the O-ring on it and replace it. But I cannot find any information on...
I have a 2002 4.4 Petrol L322 with front and rear diffs at the ratio 3.73, with the 5 speed ZF5HP gearbox.
My front and rear diffs are badly rusted on the outside but I do not believe that they need to be changed.
I plan to make a trip from...
I'd go for a dried cracked oring problem🤔
If they hadn't of replaced the oring it could have emptied itself and you'd be dealing with a dead transfer box reckon 😵
I have discovered that the previous owner of my L322 has most likely raised the height by 5cm by reprogramming the suspension offset. I can see this issue in my ride heights and in the offsets using my cheap OBD reader.
My iCarSoft V2 allows me...
I've never ran LPG so I can't really comment on it.
For a V8 I don't thinks it that bad on fuel , well it's better than my dads l322 4.4 petrol ,fuel gauge moves more than the bloody rev counter.
Morning Gents,
Is anyone able to carry out valve block repairs for a 2000 P38 4.6 V8? My vehicle holds air at maximum height overnight when locked, but if I don’t raise it, it drops to entry height. I’ve recently replaced the air compressor and...
Hi all New to this site. Im in Cape Town South Africa.
The compressor in my 2014 L494 RR Sport keeps running until it overheats, then it locks the suspension in normal ride height. I have tested all the connection and tank for air leaks and...
Looks like another well organised job. It's a pleasure to watch your updates. You remind me how I ought to do things. Interesting to see some parts came from Rimmer Bros. I was in there on Saturday morning as they are just across town from where...
