I thought it might be refreshing for some to have a positive post on here for a change so here goes....
Just a quick post to report to all you sceptics out there that in spite of all the warnings and the tails of woe that I've been dreading, after 4 weeks of ownership my 2008 L322 TDV8 (3.6) is still running smoothly.
However I did take it to McDonald's Automotive (local Landy specialists) to have the transmission flushed as a precaution. Good job I did because the fluid was burnt and black so although I've had no issues I think I probably came pretty close. I only took it because I've had previous experience with ZF "filled for life" (bull****) transmissions.
I've changed all the interior bulbs, front side light bulbs and number plate bulbs to LEDs and the boot is now Boerboel proof with a decent grill and load liner. Next job is to change the main beam halogens for some white ones and find LED replacements for indicators and rear bulbs.
Whilst on the subject does anyone know how to change the puddle lights in the mirrors please? (I have done a preliminary search to no avail but if you know for a fact that theres a thread on the subject then if you let me know I'll delve deeper).
