    Fuel problem

    Hi, I am having a very similar issue with mine. I replaced the inline fuel pump and filled the tank. All good for the last 2 days and for the past 250 miles, but today as soon as it reaches the quarter tank, the engine died twice with the fuel injection failure on the dashboard. I think that I...

    L322 Dynavin E39 Sat nav Upgrade

    Is there an easy way to find out if mine has the twin subs? Do only the RRs with the HK system have them? Mine has standard speakers by the way.

    I doubt it will pass its MOT as its a requirement for vehicles built after 1992. But definately a good idea

    L322 RR Vogue Mk3 to buy or not to buy? Trans failsafe problem

    I will stay well clear from them boxes then. In the future, I will start looking into a remap maybe. But to be honest, since the RR has the work done on the box, it drives soo much better and smother and this is even before I service it and put the EGR blanking kit on. So i am hoping for a very...

    L322 RR Vogue Mk3 to buy or not to buy? Trans failsafe problem

    I was reading a lot about them boxes and some people seem to get very good results with some of them. I know that a remap is probably the best option, but like i said, i am just not too sure about putting unnecessary stress on an engine that has done such a high mileage. I think i will stick...

    I have read about it but still can't find a definitive answer. I will carry on searching.

    L322 RR Vogue Mk3 to buy or not to buy? Trans failsafe problem

    I think that I have all the filters covered, air filter, oil, filter, pollen filter, diesel filter and egr vent filter. I will leave the brake and power steering fluid alone for now. Do you think that now that the GB has been rebuilt, it should be safe to install one of those tuning boxes? I...

    L322 RR Vogue Mk3 to buy or not to buy? Trans failsafe problem

    I know, that's exactly what I thought. There is nothing to prove that they didn't actually fixed my own box and also that both the valve body and and the gearbox needed work. At least I am getting a 12 month warranty rather than the 6 months I was offered by the first company. They also asked me...

    L322 RR Vogue Mk3 to buy or not to buy? Trans failsafe problem

    Update.... Apparently they couldn't re-shimmed/re-surfaced the bell and oil pump housing, so, no other option but to get one of their fully reconditioned gearboxes and TC as mentioned before. Today they called me to say that they fitted the recon box and TC only to find out that the valve...

    I spoke to Valve bodies UK too and got a similar quote. Even if he says that the valve body is ok, I will get it done by Valve Bodies anyway, just to be safe. My other option was also a Q7 mainly due to being a 7 seater, but oh well! I hope that they can re-shim/re-surface the bell and oil pump...

    L322 RR Vogue Mk3 to buy or not to buy? Trans failsafe problem

    AN UPDATE... Took the RR to a company called Re-engineered transmissions in Essex and they have taken the GB apart and have just called me with some news. The damage found is the following: one drum due to overheating and apparently the bell and oil pump housing are very worn out. He said that...

    Aftermarket replacement Sat Nav and music head unit for L322 Vogue 2008

    I think that the Dynavin unit for the BMW e39's fit. Check this post out https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/l322-dynavin-e39-sat-nav-upgrade.158432/

    L322 Dynavin E39 Sat nav Upgrade

    Looks good. What unit is it? From ebay? Do all the speakers work and does it come with the navigation app installed? Sorry for all the questions, but i am contemplating if i should get one or invest in getting the blue tooth and DTv sorted in mine.

    L322 Dynavin E39 Sat nav Upgrade

    As far as I know, they are plug and play. You shouldn't have to mess with the wires in the boot. I had one of the Dynavin units on my old e39 530, it was when they first came out and the only downside to it was that I had to purchase a navigation app for the sat nav. Not good after having just...

    L322 RR Vogue Mk3 to buy or not to buy? Trans failsafe problem

    Now that i am back to work, to make 400-500 miles will take about a month or two as the Mrs only drives it around occasionally during the week and I only drive it to play football on Sundays. We average approximately 150-200 miles a month if that, when I am working as I work ridiculous hours...

    L322 RR Vogue Mk3 to buy or not to buy? Trans failsafe problem

    Its a Diesel and its running 22's at the moment, so that explains the shaking. Should I just do another oil change or get it flushed? The garage where I got the oil changed said that they can do the flush for £60 including refilling it, if I put the oil of course. I am taking your advise Andy...

    L322 RR Vogue Mk3 to buy or not to buy? Trans failsafe problem

    I will definately wait before I go ahead with the rebuilt of the GB. He said that £995 was their standard price for rebuilding RR's and X5's Diesel gearboxes, so I am sure he will hold the price. His mechanic was there before the owner arrived and he told me that he strips the whole gearbox and...

    L322 RR Vogue Mk3 to buy or not to buy? Trans failsafe problem

    I will look for the advise of Phil or Saint as advised, but do you think that it could be a bit of good news? (Not having the metal shavings all over the pan)
