Thanks. Yeah pump is the only thing I've not checked. It would have to be intermittently jamming I think to have the effect it's having but I'll check. As for smell I can't detect anything but that doesn't mean it's not getting in there. If it were petrol apparently the hydrocarbon probe can...

I'm pretty sure I need a new head gasket... Car is overheating on hills and heater goes cold so I think pistons are pumping air in. Someone has suggested the heads might actually be cracked. Anyone got an idea on what that job costs? Simple head gasket and then head gasket and head repairs?

No, is that safe? There's still a power source active when the earth is off as the alarm still sounded when I first tried it as I'd locked the doors.

Hi, looking for more ideas with this fault... Central locking not working via remote or centre console. Curtesy light not working. Wipers and washers work and tailgate works from fob. Central locking working using key. Checked for faults using snap on diagnostic computer, nothing. Disconnected...

OK, a lot of early L322s had grayish silver exterior trim details...

I'm sure there are some interesting colour 'enhancements' out there but I'm after keeping it standard, not interested in doing a MAX Power photo shoot anytime soon... The early L322s all had grey/silver details which I want to sharpen up.

Hi, does anyone know if there is a paint code for the exterior trim bits for the early L322? Badges, door handles and scuttle panel all need some attention and I can't seem to get a definitive answer from paint guy. Cheers

I've been keeping an eye out for solutions to this too. I have 2002 radio CD (radio intermittent and all pixels gone). Looking for a way to do bluetooth. Not fussed for sat navs or cd but also wanted a way to maybe add rear parking sensors (my L322 is very basic!). I've got a new bumper that has...

I've hit a snag with my project... Got a nice secondhand tailgate (no rot!) however as I've prepped it for fitting I have started to take out the loom as it looks the best way would be to feed all existing wires into the new tailgate. I've snipped quite a few now, but can't remove the loom that...

I've put a few of these up now and the sills video will hopefully be the next one. Back from welders now, awaiting bodyshop..

Most cars are money pits. But yes, it was in fact free. Having said that, the money it needs I think will be less than 1.5k. Lots of my time too but I hope it will be a good early example at the end of it.

Lots of rotten sills out there, but at this stage are there enough people wanting to spend money on these cars? I reckon still a couple of years off.

Might do a YouTube video about Mark!

I did think that but I've known this car from brand new and also I just bought a secondhand upper tailgate which is also film so thought maybe that's the way it was done!

Having a forum day today. Moving on with my project and this L322 has tints on all windows except windscreen and has done from new. Can anyone tell me if these were dealer fit as it's decrading in places and looks more purple in colour than black? If you rub it it come off like glitter! Anything...
