thanks for that info. I guess that would explain things. I have the lock repair kit on order. So that will get done next week. I will order a spare key too that I can at least potentially program to the car to use as a fob. the lock smiths round my way seem to be closed currently, so I don’t...

I did the key programming procedure. It worked on the spare, but it also disabled the other key though! I tried again to program the main key back. Again it worked, but disabled the spare key again. is there a way to programme the spare key and still keep the main key functioning?

I have ordered BMW lock part online now Back to the fuse box. On the guide, Fuse 14 says blank but has a 10a in it. Fuse 7 says blank but has a 7.5a in that slot. Any idea why?

I watched that video too. Again surprisingly straight forward. So the L322 lock barrel replacement part and procedure is the same as the BMW E46 one? So I order the BMW part?

very helpful, thanks. i watched the video. It looks surprisingly straight forward. I will try it tomorrow.

Hmm. The key barrel on the drivers door doesn’t work either. It turns left and right, but with not much resistance/ nothing happens. so either a broken rod/ latch in the door? I never thought to check that when I bought the car. There’s always more faults on these cars than meets the eye.

So I tested my spare key. It starts the car fine. So it’s the right one the car. The transponder must be working to get through security. The buttons on the fob appear to work, the LED lights up. I checked/ changed the battery for a new one to make sure. But it won’t unlock the car. The main...

good to know. I will have a spare fuse ready just in case.

You were correct of course. I guess I should find some discs to stick in and see if it even works? What are the chances? Is it aftermarket, or did LR dealers offer this when new? I imagine the PlayStation is an aftermarket fitment, judging by the cabling? Is the a factory bracket to hold these...

thanks for the reply. DVD player! I did not think about that. It just looked like a normal CD changer, but I will check it in closer detail. It does have screens in the head rests, so that would add up. Not that I will likely ever use them. But it’s good to know what every does. fuse 37. So if...

I have a second CD changer in the boot, as well as the original one in the glove box. is that normal, or an aftermarket addition? The glovebox one works fine, but I haven’t tried the boot mounted one yet.

I understand the Gap IID tool is the tool of choice. But clearly it costs more than some of the other options often discussed. Do the Foxwell units stack up at all? Will they program a key? I have one working key, and one that looks original (worn), but the buttons won’t unlock the car. The LED...

I have also been checking out a possible drain on the battery, I know this is kind of ubiquitous on these, and I have seen loads of for posts on if. Anyhow, whilst there I noticed a few fuses seemingly missing, plus some in places that show as blank on the fuse chart. Missing- “Fuse 37...

Hello all. After keeping half an eye out for a year or so, I finally got around to buying an L322. 03 TD6 with a facelift front end and rear lights. it’s had the gearbox done already, 163k on the clock, long MOT. Invariably the steep learning curve has already started. I still have a 1990 3.9...

Thanks for the tip. I will take a look.

That’s good to know, thanks. I don’t have a pc laptop, so an iPhone app would be the only option for me? is there a comparison with it to the Foxwell part a few people mention?

Can Can any one else add how well the Foxwell tools compare? I am looking at options. I already have a Nanocom for my TD5 Disco 2, a icarsoft for older Jaguars. I tried this on the 322, but it seems very limited. It can’t even clear codes in all sections. It seems every vehicle I own needs...

It’s been done already, in 2018, with an invoice to proof. Plus another transmission fluid change in 2019. I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise. I know there’s plenty to go wrong on these. There is the usual rust on the rear inner arches to do though of course. One step at a time though.

Good info here guys. I have just bought a L322 TD6 03. So I will be working my way through the usual raft of work needed. As a long time LR owner, I am well used to that routine.
