Could anyone share where the locking wheel nut is meant to be located within the vehicle? I may be looking in the wrong place. Thanks.

Thanks, this is the bit I'm struggling with as I can't find the locking wheel nut to remove it.

Hi all, I purchased an L322 (02) a while back and didn't check for the locking wheel nut (my bad). I'm now looking at doing some work and have realised I do not know where the locking wheel nut is (or should be). I've taken the boot apart looking for it and can't find it and just wanted to...

Hi all, I'm having issues with the alarm going off at random intervals in the middle of the night and I'm not very popular! While I investigate, would I be correct in thinking I just need to pull fuse 43 to disable the alarm? (L322 2002). Thanks!

Hi all, I have a weird problem whereby the read nearside window lowers all the way only in the following situation where I put the key in the ignition after the vehicle has been left for a while (say 24 hours). When I put the key in the ignition, it lowers all the way (just that window) and...

I was just about to post another 'alarm beeping' post when I searched through existing posts looking for a solution (I already changed the key fob battery but it was still doing it) and saw your post and realised that I'd left the bonnet lowered but not latched down. Thank you!

Underneath its a matt black, not sticky at all, once you've got the grey peel off it just needs sanding down a bit and the new paint goes on well, 3 or 4 coats seemed to do it. The grey paint came off easy in parts, I found it useful to get a bit off amd then carefully use a razor blade and...

Just seen this, my apologies, I made an assumption...

Thanks! Really? I was joking (other than making a fool out of myself for buying a car to do up without actually knowing much about cars, but its something I've always wanted to do... Most of the material would be me swearing and asking myself why I actually got myself into this! My L322 is now...

Yep, did those bits today (didn't get a pic), have also done the door handle trim bits on all four doors and the door card storage area bits (forgot the name!, at the bottom of the door card). @gold rover will kill me as he was the one that told me the name of them and I've forgotten already!!

So I've finished off the work on this, happy with the end result! For anyone interested, I just completely sanded down the bits back to remove all of the peeling grey bits and then a few (3 or 4) coats of black satin spray paint (sanding down with 400 paper in between each coat). Decided to...

Today I also finished off painting all of the horrible peeling grey console pieces, I have taken them all out and sprayed them satin black (except the head end unit bits as I'll be replacing with an Android unit soon). Very satisfying to see it all in place and no more horrible peeling grey...

Thank you, not everyones cup of tea I know, but I'm going for an 'all black' look, have the side vents to do next.

Today I changed the front grille from the stock chrome one to the black one.
