    I don't know what you are talking about. The L322 is one of the most modified Range Rovers available. People put manual gear boxes in them, coil over spring suspensions, raise them up, change the wheels, reprogram the engine computer, make the...

    I meant 1,500. That is not high. It is not low. It is what it is. But 1,100 is lower. That is a fact. I have a 23 year-old engine in a car that has probably had a little maintenance in the 150k miles that it has done. I will not spend the time...

    Thanks, I understand. It looks like there is an internal rubber seal that is not just an O-ring. That could be where the leak is coming from. Also there might be a gasket that is not shown in the picture of the replacement solenoid, which could...

    It's a common design which I see a lot on bus air brake components. It'll be a thin O ring. If you ccn slacken the 2 halves and get in there with a sliding vernier it should be possible to get the internal diameter. But without that measurement I...

    I can literally see from the picture that the internal O-ring is not circular. Maybe you should have a look at the picture. If I wanted to just get in there and do it then I would not have come on this forum to ask questions about it, I would...

    I emailed iCarSoft about that issue. We shall see what they say. I also emailed a company in England that sells a lot of diagnostic equipment that might know if the V3 works on my car or not.

    That would be awesome if you mean Langley near to Stevenage? And not the CIA headquarters in America. The iCarSoft does not work on the P38. Your CR-Max, if it is the V3 with the latest software, will be identical to the LR V3. I bought the LR...

    Oh god, of course. I read that last year when I was thinking to buy one. Hmmm. That ruins my plan. I guess the V3 iCarSoft for £160 and try to sell my V2 iCarSoft to someone, that does not write data to the car.

    Before I bought my OBD reader I looked into this but I do not have a Windows laptop. I saw some cables with laptop on eBay but they were all for the later model cars, not for my 2002 L322. I bought the V2 iCarSoft because the company said that...

    I think this image is it, for the BMW equivalent M62, showing a straight line due to vanos? I normally do not get over 1,500 RPM in my daily driving, so I am barely using the power of the car, but I feel no need to do that. Given that the...

    I was not concerned but if I changed them for newer diffs without rust that adds a small extra benefit to making the change. I have no plans to change the diffs due to the rust. My aim was to reduce RPM during steady driving on motorways /...

    I am sorry that I mentioned the fuel aspect, only to stop people saying that it was a waste of money. My main reason is to run the engine at a lower RPM on a long trip. Just to put a little bit less stress on a 23-year-old engine.

    Just the many diffs that are available on eBay and from wreckers of L322s in the UK. As RRPhil mentioned elsewhere the 2.76 diff is from the 8 speed diesel L322 so they will all be relatively new diffs compared to mine from 2002 with 153k miles...
