When ever I stop suddenly with the wife sat next to me my life gets threatened :)

That's what my local indi just said :)

Sometimes we have to move on :). Enjoy the new ride:D. J

I know, I'm gutted :). I will miss the old girl though :( She'll be going in the for sale section if anyone is interested. Needs welding in the usual places, rear arches, rear quarter, or a spare parts car :eek:.

Hmmmmm they have some life in them yet :Do_O Spotted this absolute beauty at a steam rally last weekend. phwoah. 200tdi and mint.. Amazing looking motor..

After a 7 year love hate relationship I've decided it's time to let the L322 go. As much as I'd like to keep it I don't have the space for it along side this 😍

Strange to have 3 faulty sensors. have you tried clearing the fault codes?

could be faulty or could need calibrating. Where is the green line in relation to the orange wheel centers? pic's of your screen are useful Is the car sitting level at normal ride height?

Minimum 12.6v engine off, around 14.5v engine running.

Bigger hammer :)

I didn't even use a puller, I just bashed it with a big hammer and a piece of wood on the end of the shaft.

What voltage have you got on the battery before starting?

Got me MOT due in September but found out yesterday the place I have always used for many years now got burnt to he ground a couple of months back.. As Tony the owner is in his 80's and his son is now 60 it doesn't look like they will be...

Sounds more like a bush or ball joint to me.

Oooooo that's interesting. Methinks I might just spend some time taking a non-damaged speaker out of the unit I just bought, and put it in the original unit. Then the one thing I can do is done and saves the guys one little job. It also means...

If they are wired in series and the replacement has a broken wire it will stop both. If they are in parallel and one is short circuit it will also stop the both. Either way you would need a multimeter to test it.

According to RAVE you must have the Logic7 as the basic one doesn't show a sub. The sub seems to be fed from the same amp as the other speakers so my guess is the mechanic hasn't connected it properly or it's knackered. I would be trying the old...

sorry been out all day. If i remember correctly yours is the older prestige luxury mark with the non touch screen ? :)

Good question, well presented, deserves an answer I don't have one 🤣 How would I find out which it is, dear Sir?

Depending on the system some have a separate amp for the sub. Which one does the love of your life have?

My brother-in-law's fairly modern BMW blew an ECU about 18 months ago. 6 months and 1 x ECU and new key later the local garage gave up and sent it back to him with an ABS fault and a bill for £1400. Then another 6 months and 1 x ECU and 2 new...

Hiya. Just my own opinion, but that is quite high for the earliest L322. I'd also add 200k km which is approx 125k miles, unless the gearbox has already been done do it straight away. If it has been done at the 70 -80k miles, you are getting...

Budget £1.5 to £2k or maybe a little more for a gearbox and torque converter and you should have a lovely motor for little money.

Just got myself this 2003 L322 with 123k on the clock for £850. MOT ran out at the beginning of the month but does still run under its own power. Trade seller said that the previous owner said that the gearbox can slip but I’m praying it just...

You could try plugging one of those voltage displays in the accessory socket.

It may well start with low volts. What voltage have you got on the battery after the CTEK has been on for a while? I get around 12.8v

How old is the battery? Does it charge from a mains charger and hold it?
