If there is one positive to be had from this thread, It's got me proper interested in the L322. I like all LRs but never really paid much attention to the RRs.
It’s taken 436 posts and 22 pages but I think we’ve successfully proven that no one on this forum is helpful and that OP is by far and away a high value individual and we’re all betas.
Now to match his post length with some AI drivel:
Ah...
Yep, starting like a dream.
The green/red indicator on the old battery suggests it's okay but at 8+ years I'm not so sure. I did wonder about keeping hold of it or offering it to @Nodge68 for his projects? but if not it'll go
New battery in. What should be a five minute job was a swine because of the clamp bolt but it's done. Had to reset an SRS error but on the plus side. Gear changes are smooth as silk now.
Battery tested. It's duff. Just gone to get a new one and tried to fit it. That's not gone so well. I have the old favourite of the clamp bolt not coming out due to the captive nut spinning. Chuffing thing :rolleyes:
Mine had an intermittent starting problem a few months ago. Turned the key and nothing, no solenoid nothing. Tried jump starting; still nothing. Replaced the starter motor then it was fine for about a week then the same thing happened. I put the...
It's a bit of an odd one as two or three weeks ago in the first instance the car had been fine then on a random occurance it did not turn over. No click or anything. Just dead. I looked at starter connections, including the signal connection...
Had a local Land Rover group meetup today, followed by a little bit of light laning. That was all good apart from embarrasment before we even got going with the engine not turning over as we were about to set off. It appears I now have an...
Mine packed up Monday, was indeed a pain in the arse not helped by being supplied the wrong replacement (wrong plug fitting) at first, so had to exchange that. Then that one was a pig to get the 3 bolts to line up, which they eventually did, only...
I'm just wondering people's thoughts...
I'm contemplating a new thread. Now just humour me for a minute and hear me out. I'd love to have your thoughts on this idea as I think it would really help us all in complying with the OP's request.
New...
So after our conversation Andy I did alot of reading and looking around and my conclusion is the drilled and grooved disks will only benefit you if you're driving at high performance levels, and for typical Freelander type driving - on or off...
I use the Carlube stuff but other firms do ATF-U (Millers and Triple QX to name two) so if you can get them and as long as the spec is the same I should imagine they would be okay, but others may advise.
This thread has been quite the read. 270 posts in a matter of days and presumably it'll keep going. I'll be honest, I'd be fascinated to see the outcome...
