    VDO dash dsiplay repair for L322 Mk3 RR

    Very interesting read as I was going to do mine as I've 2 digits missing. However since my car was in for other warranty work the question was asked and it was replaced under warranty, saved me a lot of time and hassle

    Clonking noise

    Tony When I had the rear discs done they torqued the nuts front and rear

    Clonking noise

    Thanks once again Just to try and narrow it down a bit further, the pads were changed all round and rear discs changed, all prior to my journey. When braking there is now also wheel wobble as though the front discs were warped, would this also indicate CV joint

    Clonking noise

    Thanks for the quick reply I assume I can continue to drive it until fixed. Is this covered by warranty? If not will it be expensive?

    Dopey Top man

    Thanks for sorting out my pads yesterday, shame about the disks, I'll see what I can sort out. He worked hard all the time I was there. His knowledge on LR is very broad. Didn't we have fun watching the jack bend :D whilst the 2.5 tonnes sat on top. Cheers once again

    warranty advice please

    You will be able to find out what recalls have been done on your car. Mine was checked and deemed to be OK, but 8 months after that I had a failure which was covered by the warranty. Also phone the LR Warranry people directly, you should have a card with their number, I found them more helpful...

    warranty advice please

    That maybe the case, however the car had the recall done early last year, confirmed all OK. End of last year is when I had the problem. I guess it is horses for courses, to my mind owning a vehicle with potential expensive failures I'd prefer peace of mind, also helps when it comes to selling...

    warranty advice please

    You are right the 'money experts' say this, but in my case I would have been somewhat out of pocket since LR are not cheap to repair. The thing with insurance is that it gives peace of mind and hope you never need to claim

    L322 brakes

    Stupid question, but I'll asked anyway. If I get both front and rear disks and pads replaced do I need the Caliper seal kit. Also does anyone have a recommendation for where I can have these fitted around East Sussex for a fair price. Thanks in advance

    warranty advice please

    I also looked into this when I renewed my warranty. I had paid about £1500 for a LR warranty on a L322 Vogue 4.4, in that period I had 2 claims first was to replace a mirror the second was a front diff/prop failure. There were no issues with either claim, certainly cheaper than not having...

    Blower

    The front blower on my L322 has stopped working, the lights on the dial work when turned but no fan. Have changed fuse 34 but nothing. Has the unit failed and would this be covered by the LR extended warranty?

    Service

    OK thanks for clearing that up, the pads I changed at 14k as that is all it had done for the first 3years of it's life

    Service

    Not sure if this is +ve or -ve post, but when the car had the warranty done for the front prop/diff they said the car had been serviced in accordance with how they expected since the car tells you when to have it done.

    Service

    I have a L322 RR Vogue V8, on an 02 plate which is due for a service in about 900 miles. Wonder what the cost would be mileage currently is 28k, car has only ever had one service which was at 14k. Also since I have extended LR warranty does it have to be done by an official LR dealer, if not...

    Extended warranty

    Malc That is the view I took, WD quoted £850 for my 02 Vogue L322, so we were looking at £1050 verses £1500, so for the extra £450 I feel sticking with LR was worth it, especially as I have had experience with them with the failure of the front diff and prop.

    Extended warranty

    I take your point regarding the hourly cost, I was unaware that you would still have to pay in addition to the initial one off payment. This morning I collected my car from the dealer and at the same time paid a shade under £1500 to extend the warranty to coincide with it lapsing in a...
