I plan to specify just an 020 battery, which I assume will fit and be correct. I know the garage owner quite well. I have some printed instructions about battery replacement which include waiting for various systems to discharge, including Satnav and fuel gauge plus SRS relating to the...

Thanks. I'll assume it's OK, and the RAC was wrong. I'm a bit under the weather after lung drainage (1.2 litres!) so will have to get a local garage to supply and fit the battery. The breakdown report notes the following: " battery failed test but car also has high current draw of 2.3amps...

OK, I've just been rescued by the RAC because the battery I've needed for ages finally died in the 2004 L322 3.0 diesel. All my fault. The RAC man insisted that there was an electrical fault because, when he closed the doors with the key out of the ignition, he could hear a fan running...

But I'm sure I read somewhere the original Jeep was based on a British chassis. Certainly, the original designing company, Bantam, had previously been building Austin vehicles under licence.

When I get over my battery troubles, I need to look at my satnav in a 2004 td6. So I downloaded the files from Neil Oakley. I'm using Windows and I see just one RR file, plus the version with BMW logo on that site, both as zip files. When I download them and use 7-zip to unzip , it shows a CRC...

Hmmm. The garage came with a battery tester, which said the battery was OK. The vehicle had been on charge all day yesterday and was still up to only 3 bars on the display on the Aldi charger, so left it off charge overnight. It started fine this morning, and we used it for a couple of very...

I did have, and loved, the D1 that caught fire while being welded. Then had the Jeep emergency purchase that was gassing us all. Then I looked for a solid D1 or D2. Solid was the problem word, and I can see why there would be so few solid Discos for sale - why would you sell on? The L322 was...

Well, it went in to be checked and then MOT'd. A tyre had an egg on it, so it had to be jacked up to replace that. Then sailed through the test with just 3 advisories. It was delivered back to me with a drooping offside rear for me to reset the suspension with my trusty BMW tools. Only it...

It's all my fault :oops: The forum search didn't work for a week or so, then it did, and I was so excited to see your post that I couldn't resist digging it up, dusting it off and adding to it. While you are here, have you used it to charge the battery in an L322 (sorry can't remember what...

Ah, right. That makes a lot of sense.

Thanks, that sounds as if I'll be safe. It's the L322's electronics and its reaction to these chargers, which I understand can sometimes send pulses to the battery, that worried me. I'll dig out the trailer plug when it stops raining and work out how to wire it up. I was slow in replying...

Hey, I waited till Search worked again and so here I am with a mature thread revisited. I bought an Aldi smart charger last week, took it home and made the mistake of reading the instructions. They clearly state that the battery should be disconnected from the vehicle before charging. To do...

What I find annoying, especially when driving the car that's lower than the Rangie, is the following: Waiting at a junction to turn left. Someone in another vehicle dashes up and stops with his/her bonnet sticking out into the road. His back windows are darkened, so it is now impossible to see...

1. I have personal experience of a J**p main dealer. Utterly, utterly beyond useless. Perhaps that's where I lost my sense of humour. 2. Tinted windows are dangerous in that they stop you seeing through the idiot** next to you to see what's coming. 3. I've now had my L322 for over a year. The...

I have the same problem on my L322. According to the paperwork, it has always been diesel. I'm too lazy to have done anything, and its annoyance diverts me from stressing about the cost of the fuel.

AIUI that was what they did, and it was the battery in both cases. One was the daughter's husband and the replacement (new) battery did the trick. I wasn't really accusing the car breakers of operating a death ray, except in jest. I actually bought a mini wheel for a small trailer from that...

I was going to run diagnostics again tonight, but no time now as daughter rang for a lift home on the same bleeping route. On the way there, through Birkenhead, there's a Shell station on one side of the road and a car breakers the other. On just this section of road, as previously observed on...

I still only have the under a tenner el-cheapo BMW-Scan diagnostics, which I have just run. It shows a lot of old codes, which all cleared OK. Some of these will return when I go for a run later, but I've been ordered to stop running the engine outside the open windows of the house. Today's...

No progress on sorting the bleeps, but in investigating whether there was anything in the pocket behind the drivers seat, I discovered that some document was crunched up deep down and just round the corner at the bottom. In reaching down, against the very strong elastic, there was a bang and the...

I get up at 6am most mornings to take my daughter to work. We usually go in the Skoda, but on special days take the RR (2004, diesel). For about the last month we have heard a sort of occasional muted double bleep, quieter and quite distinct from the parking sensor noise or usual Ping! The...
