Hang on... What? How do I code it to the car? Not something I knew needed doing. I've got GapIID so I should be able to do it but hadn't heard of that, do you have any instructions mate? I would be VERY keen to avoid replacing it again as it...

As promised before and after piccies

Late last year we went through the grief of fitting a new EPB to my brother's 2010 RRS. It works just fine... BUT... It doesn't communicate with the car. It was an amazon special so I expect it was wrongly advertised and is actually for a...

If you can hear the air coming out, you don't need a tool to deflate it. Pretty sure the valve block is in the right wheel arch (definitely is in the rear), you can undo the unions there and deflate it that way too.

I'm lucky enough to live in the flight path of the Spitfire from Headcorn Aerodrome, it passes over my house half a dozen times a day in the warmer months. If you pay the really big bucks for the passenger experience, they will do loops and...

Went to my local JLR today to collect the tow bar recall parts for the good lady's Discovery 4. Very pleased to see that A) they've finished the building work on the new showroom, but more importantly B) the parking spaces have actually been...

Oi! You leave the Sierra out of this, I had a few of those and I always loved them.

^^^^This! I want to do some due diligence before I make contact. I'm casually looking for a cheap one of these for a bit of non-serious off road fun and this might have been it but the absence of the VRM puts me off and all this "no idea what...

Never owned one but I do know that when they were face-lifted, they fitted steering wheel buttons that are like a touch panel with haptic feedback. Bloody awful to use, the proper button on this are better in my opinion. I also know that the...

I broke one puller on mine and bent a second. The Discovery ones have been a piece of cake but my L322 was a stubborn mule on both sides! I was ready the second time around though.

Not sure about that, coffee saves people around me from dying for some reason 🤔

I use a company that only do MOTs, their workshop is spotless, has an automated testing lane so every single time the test is the same rather than having an ape swinging on a pry bar etc. The tester just says "Pass or Fail, makes no difference...

Rear airbags replaced last night. First time I've ever changed them without one being split; didn't think about what a ball-ache it is to refit the rear arch liner after removing it to release the pressure from the valve block. The good news...

Are they lovely? (In Paul Daniels voice) "My lovely assistant, Miss Debbie McGeeeeee"

Loaded it with ramps and tools, drove to my friend's place and (believe it or not) fixed his Toyota! Ha! Land Rover rescues Toyota! It had to happen one day. Have that naysayers! I also ordered replacement air springs for the rear as I have...

You'll need a compressor to seat the bag on the seals when you put it back on, takes about 40-50psi I think. Probably good to have a lovely assistant around to hold the strut up while you pull the bag down at the base and inflate it a bit too...

Yeah the bags look pretty good to be honest, no that old at all in person. I think I’ll get the shock out and give it a proper going over, might give the new O-rings a try, will see. Thanks for all the help.

It's three large O rings and spacers which I'd be curious as to why it would even fail there and you'll have to go to the effort of stripping it completely to get to them. I'm not confident enough to say one way or the other whether or not...

That's where the bag is supposed to seal to the strut itself. It has a set of O-Rings (3x for memory) and plastic spacers to create the seal. It looks as thought strut is fairly new by the condition of the paint there. I'd be inclined to just...

This is good news I think. The car agrees with the situation by the look of it. The flashing red line is the one above the wheel (the arch height?), I'm not that familiar with the earlier screen so I'm just trying to get it clear in my mind...

If the bags have leaks in both of them it may not be able to lift itself. Clearing the errors won't help if the leak is greater than the air flow from the system. Deal with the rear airbags first and go from there👍

Interesting and timely this; my friend had an issue with his this weekend where the compressor was overheating but his car wouldn't lower. It won't be the same for yours but we can use some of the same troubleshooting steps. I'm not sure how...

Not sure about that but I would have to talk to a pro before I tried it. The current required to propel a 2 ton brick to 60 mph in under 10 seconds must be pretty high. Wouldn't want that earthing through my socks.

It's brake pipe, very common on those. Kits are available, change them both sides. Brake Pipe

I'd say you'll be putting a gearbox in it, it seems to be the weakest link on the early cars and as BiB has suggested, a couple of grand seems to be about the sum to do it properly. Look at it this way though, you've got an early car which (I...

Trying to make amends for earlier, have a look at this video of a valve block strip down on an LR3/4. I think it's the same as the one in the L322. Interestingly this one is slightly stuck on the balance between the left and right air springs...

Just a joke and I didn't want to take the importance from your thread kiddo😎👍 Mind you, it could have gone wrong, horribly wrong🫣😝

Better IMO to fit a 13 pin socket and use a 13 to 7 adaptor as then you have all the connections for reversing lights etc at the connector.

I'm pleased you've edited that!
