    Three amigos sus inop park brake fault my experience

    However about 6 weeks later Bong Bong pretty much the same faults came up. I presumed my temporay repair had failed. I carefully dismantled the joints I had made and all looked fine. I remade them all using spade connectors this time. All the fault lights remained, head scratcher, maybe it was...

    Three amigos sus inop park brake fault my experience

    2006 l322 3.6 Diesel. Well I got the above Bong Bong HDC unavailable, traction control, ABS, headlight level, suspension lowered. My RSW EAS reset tool gave me Articulation validity fault and ABS - EAS Canbus fault. My first thought was a height sensor but the info screen showed all height ok...

    L322 Stcking rear caliper, Maybe.

    My thoughts too. I know I should have done both but it was cold out:oops:

    Replaced the caliper today and all seems fine hopefully no more Hot Wheels. I don't think it was the DSC anyway:D

    L322 Stcking rear caliper, Maybe.

    dear god no, traumatised by 4 years of being persecuted by a P38 with a mind of it's own. This included brake failure, every possible suspension fault. unattended engine cranking, faulty injection pump, faulty crank pulley, failing tailgate button, failed belt tensioner, blowing glow plugs...

    L322 Stcking rear caliper, Maybe.

    It appears your right I was overthinking it a little. I drove 72 Miles today and left the DSC on. No heat on brakes at all so it looks like an intermittent sticking caliper. I'm just probably traumatised. I have the bits so should get it done soon.

    L322 Stcking rear caliper, Maybe.

    Sorry chaps haven't posted in ages but the L322 has been working. 2005, L322, TD6, the rear passenger brake disc has been found to pretty hot around 300 degrees C and a smell of burning Landie,. Disassembling the brake pads, greasing up the brake pins and pushing the piston in and out cured it...

    I'm back.

    Well for the I ordered the RSW eas reset tool. it'll do for the moment, the eas caused most of the immediate problems of my P38. Wish I had done a bit more research, the RR is complex electronically, that doesn't bother me and I had wanted to do some upgrades, like tv etc. It seems I have a 2005...

    I'm back.

    Well the RR was cheap so the bank balance should run to an ashtray valet. The 630 had to go to fund the new life ruiner, but not to worry I have an XJS for the high speed stuff. I picked up the RR today, I'm sure the dealer almost crashed into a bridge abutment, on his way home, blinded by tears...

    I'm back.

    I'm sure I was badly missed over the last year and a half, it's been that long since I waved bye bye to my P38. I had fought a four year battle with my beloved Range Rover. I needed to walk away for a while to lick my wounds. Sanctuary was found in 2005 BMW 630I damned if it never broke down...

    Why do we love these cars?

    That was more of a comment on my company than the vehicle. Unimogs would have been more suited to the loads. But who wants a Unimog? To be honest, the Defenders were grossly overloaded. But worked perfectly, beyond their design tolerances.

    Why do we love these cars?

    Surprised you would like a Defender Data. A company I worked for gave a brand new 110 defender. It was painted mustard Yellow, company colour. I just loved it, tiny cramped cab, couldn't fit much in it. was totlay unsuitable for the amount of gear we needed to carry. But it put a smile...

    Why do we love these cars?

    I have often wondered this. I have a love of Land Rovers, Jaguars, and Triumphs. Mainly troublesome cars, I have owned them all. So I pondered many various reasons, as to my love of these Marques. Then it dawned on me one day, the ansewer was obvious. I grew up watching the Avengers. I...

    Oh that's a beaut best of luck with her.

    I'll watch this with interest. My eye has roved too, went to look at an 03 L322 with 115000 Miles on the clock. One side was resprayed badly, and the other side should have been. Dealer wanted 10,000 Euro! Glad it was so awful, I wouldn't have swapped my P38 for it. But I think the seed...
