I emailed iCarSoft about that issue. We shall see what they say. I also emailed a company in England that sells a lot of diagnostic equipment that might know if the V3 works on my car or not.

Bemble commented to me earlier on another forum about my diff change idea. He did not yet comment on this topic on this forum or on the other forum where I posted the identical issues. In the attached photo I see two o-rings. But there might also be a gasket that is not shown there, I just do...

That would be awesome if you mean Langley near to Stevenage? And not the CIA headquarters in America. The iCarSoft does not work on the P38. Your CR-Max, if it is the V3 with the latest software, will be identical to the LR V3. I bought the LR version because I only have one car and I do not...

If I am driving at 70 mph in fifth gear and then I forced my gearbox to go into third gear, I will theoretically use the same fuel but I am putting more stress on the components by running them at a faster speed. I wish to God I never mentioned anything about fuel saving in my initial comment...

I am a Pepsi Max man...

Oh god, of course. I read that last year when I was thinking to buy one. Hmmm. That ruins my plan. I guess the V3 iCarSoft for £160 and try to sell my V2 iCarSoft to someone, that does not write data to the car.

Before I bought my OBD reader I looked into this but I do not have a Windows laptop. I saw some cables with laptop on eBay but they were all for the later model cars, not for my 2002 L322. I bought the V2 iCarSoft because the company said that the V2 was no different to the V3, but cheaper...

The whole point of coming here was to not find out through spending time and money on something that might be pointless.

iPhone but I turned them off years ago and I do not know (or want to know) how to turn them back on.

I think this image is it, for the BMW equivalent M62, showing a straight line due to vanos? I normally do not get over 1,500 RPM in my daily driving, so I am barely using the power of the car, but I feel no need to do that. Given that the pulling power below 1,500 RPM is fine for me pulling...

Very good point. I do not know how to do emoji but if I did I would do the same face. I am now wondering how to find the torque curve of the 4.4 petrol L322 engine...

I was not concerned but if I changed them for newer diffs without rust that adds a small extra benefit to making the change. I have no plans to change the diffs due to the rust. My aim was to reduce RPM during steady driving on motorways / highways on a long trip. The fuel saving and rusty diff...

I can manually select 5th gear if needed if it does not automatically change up.

Thanks. EDIT: I found out how to put myself on the map to be available to help others.

Wow what an amazing resource! Unfortunately the people near to me that have diagnostic equipment all mention that they have a generic OBD reader that can only read information from the car not to write information back to the car. I need the ability to write data to the car.

My diffs are incredibly rusty. I mentioned that they are so rusty that the MOT guy mentioned them but I already was aware that they are really rusty. I am talking about flakes of metal falling off them when you touch them slightly, so badly that you cannot be underneath them as your eyes fill up...

I am not sure on the physics of this but I think the engine in my 2002 L322 will do ok given that it is built to tow, and I will have myself, my dogs and not much else in the car. My main motivation is that there are long periods of steady driving at one speed and I would prefer a lower RPM to...

I am sorry that I mentioned the fuel aspect, only to stop people saying that it was a waste of money. My main reason is to run the engine at a lower RPM on a long trip. Just to put a little bit less stress on a 23-year-old engine.

Just the many diffs that are available on eBay and from wreckers of L322s in the UK. As RRPhil mentioned elsewhere the 2.76 diff is from the 8 speed diesel L322 so they will all be relatively new diffs compared to mine from 2002 with 153k miles. I have no reason to expect them to be better or...

Thank you for this important information.
