In the interest of removing unused electronics from my 2004 L322 , I was thinking of removing the telephone system. I cannot find a GSM only sim card that works so the phone to all purposes is useless. However does anyone know if it is possible to get a plain insert for the cubby where the...

Thanks, The bonnet hinges are good and it looks like the switch is ok but for the sake of making things more simple I will disconnect the connector and tape it up off for safety / weather proofing. I don't think anyone will want anything that is under the bonnet anyway :-)

Thanks. Out of interest what does the bonnet switch do . Is it not just related to the alarm ? regards

Thanks everybody for the advice. After removing the MK3 sat nav the battery stayed OK for 24 hours so I think that the immediate drain problem is solved but since the opinion is that the HEVAC fans should not run on after the ignition is turned off , I will change the FSR anyway. At the moment...

Ok , I know this is an old issue and I have seen a number of posts on it but none of them tell me what I want to know. Last night the battery on my L322 completely drained. I have 2 suspects , one being the Sat Nav unit and the other is the Final Stage Resistor. Now I have temporarily changed...

Just to close this thread. The company that did the work last year took the car back. They checked the valve block and all was OK but found that the lock up clutch was failing. Despite me being over the warranty mileage they changed the torque converter free of charge. All is good now. regards

Hi , Sorry I must have omitted to say that the original recondition was done under warranty. However whilst the gearbox warranty has expired, I forgot the car was still inside warranty. The only other point is that the warranty company will want to use the same company to do the work, however...

Just to finish this thread , I checked my warranty documentation from when I bought the car and it still has 6 months left so I will be speaking to them about it. However I can't find anyone who really advertises that they use the Sonnax repair kit when reconditioning the gearboxes. Does anyone...

Hi Phil, Many thanks for the detailed reply , excellent pictures. I have to ask one question. Given your knowledge of gearboxes, do you work in this arena ? Vince.

HI Phil , I think you are spot on as I just gone past the warranty expiry of 12000 miles. A couple of questions, if I get an oil change done , will this buy me time ? Also do you have any recommendations for a garage to get this checked properly. I don't want to use the one that did the refurb...

Hello All, Need to ask a question around the L322 GM transmission. Currently I don't really have a problem , however I have noticed some changes. The gearbox was refurbed last year after the torque converter decided it had had enough. It has been fine since if always a little too eager to...

OK thanks

Thanks Wammers, Just in case, is there an easy way to make sure the valve is fully closed other than taking the pipes off to check. regards

Hi Saint, Thanks for the quick reply. I have cleared all the codes out and will monitor how often it occurs. Idle tickover is fine and it pulls pretty well for an 11year old. I was going to look at fitting an EGR blanking plate but I am wondering now if there is an EGR feedback circuit this...

Hi , Looking for more advice. After a few issues and a lot of help from RSW managed to get All Comms software to read the error codes on the L322 TD6 ECU. I am not having any particular issue at the moment (just lots of little ones) but one error that is coming up is; 'Exhaust Gas...

OK , so here endeth the lesson, Called the AA to relay me to the nearest main dealer. They insisted that they needed to send a technician first and he was only 20 minutes away. The technician who turned up was in fact from Land Rover customer service. After much cranking of engine,finally...

Thanks Datatek, Also noticed fuel economy is now very good ;) but am going to wear my shoes down with all the extra walking. I think for next time I will do as Holidaychicken has advised and get the Allcomms tool. I may not be able to fix the problem but hopefully I will know what is...

Hi Holidaychicken, Thanks for the post. To be honest from what I can tell the in line pump is OK. What you have said about the immobiliser makes sense. Anyway I think in either case it will be a trip to the main dealer ( which is the nearest garage anyway) for diagnostics. Out of...

Thanks for the quick reply and advice. It seems strange that the pump would have stopped working that suddenly. I will check fuses and whether there is any action from the pump. Will update when I get more news.

Hi , I really hope someone may be able to point me in the right direction for this issue. I just had to replace the battery in my 2004 L322 TD6 as the old battery was dropping voltage and I was getting spurious error messages every day. Just installed the new battery after following the...
