    L322 keyfob signal not received

    Left the car for a couple of hours, came to unlock and non of the fob buttons work, I'd not had any "keyfob batt low" messages and the battery is less than a year old. Unfortunately there is no telltale on the fob to confirm function. Opened the passenger door with the blade (why can't you open...

    L322 LIN bus

    I've got a couple of BCM errors, LIN bus B - bus off (B1088 type 88) which is currently historic and LIN bus A - short to power or ground (B1087 type 88) which is currently intermittent What is LIN bus and what does it do? There's reference to central junction box, left side steering wheel...

    L322 Rear heater control

    Hi all, rear temperature blend flap appears not to be working, no fault codes registered. Blend flap position stats at 0%, as does every other value related to rear temperature status. If the rear climate control button is turned off (on by default) then hit air stats blowing from the rear...

    L322 8 speed box problem

    Mentioned previously in general chat but it's happened again so thought I'd start a thread. A number of times (less so since oil filter change) if i slow down on the brakes to say 20mph then accelerate again, the gearbox would bang into gear with a solid thump, like engaging a dog clutch. A few...

    Leakoff pipes/ spill lines

    As you know I'm a noob when it comes to diesesed engines, can someone explain what these are? Is it just the diesel equivalent of a petrol return pipe (to the tank)? Or something else? I've read they can leak, which lets air into the system, so they don't simply return unused fuel or it wouldn't...

    L322 long distance drive

    contemplating a trip this year, likely Switzerland, possibly September/October, or possibly December/January for a couple of weeks, so perhaps 'only' 2000 miles give or take. Anything I should be thinking, apart from 'why would you go in a Land Rover'? Recent new brake pads and discs all...

    Series 2 New brake cylinders

    Got myself some new ones as the old ones are had it, rusted solid 😩 Do i fit them straight out of the box or do you clean off the 'grease' inside and put proper brake grease instead? (The red rubber stuff)

    terrain response

    Does anyone know what the different options actually do, ie what changes are made? Seems some of the options affect throttle response, auto select height, hill descent and low box etc. But what about ABS, TC, shock absorbers etc, do we know what changes each selection makes? Is anything else...

    Disco 4 (LR4) purchase thoughts

    Apart from the price looking too steep, what are your thoughts on this? At the marked price it's above my budget and I've not even looked at it yet, plus it's registered as commercial - can you keep it like that of your not a business? Makes the tax more affordable. It's higher than average...

    Series 2 back on the road

    Starting to get my 2A back on the road after a very long rest. Cursory check of the chassis and it looks remarkably well, needs some surface rust and flaky paint sorting out, but so far pretty solid. Wheel cylinders at worst need rebuilding, at best, replacing. New oil in the diffs, new oil...

    Series 2 grille screws

    I know it's a silly problem, but where can i get the dome headed (self tappers?)to screw the landy badge into place and hold the mesh grille up? They've got lost over the years and it currently looks rubbish :(

    Rebuilding a Rover V8 rocker shaft (howto)

    When you order parts either individually or as a 'kit', you'll notice rocker arms labelled 'RH' and 'LH'. This does not refer to the rocker as such, but to the location of the pad which operates the valve, either the left or right hand side of the rocker. You need both on a rocker shaft. The...

    P38A spark plug colour

    Right you lot. I pulled the plugs on bank 1 to check compression on #3. That was fine and about the same as when i last checked. But, plug colours aren't right and i can't remember what they should be. I've been having a cold misfire on #3 which is what sparked this investigation. Plug 3 is on...

    P38A LPG setup

    Right that's it, I'm stuck now, haven't a clue how to proceed. Runs fine on petrol runs rich on LPG, to the point today where i reset back defaults, re-ran the auto calibration then went for a 30 min drive with 'adaptive' turned on. When i stopped again, petrol long term fuel trims were both...

    Series 2 running with a dynamo

    Hi all My 2A is still on a dynamo, it works just fine and I've no plans to change it. Sure I know you can get alternators that look just like a dynamo, but why fix what's not broke? The biggest call is the headlights but I'm not going to be doing much night driving, if ever! Is there any...

    keeping your landy safe

    Ok, how do you stop thieving scum nicking your price and joy? It at least, how do you put them off and make it hard work? I've already had someone come with a tow truck 'wanna sell that old car'? today! If nobody was in, i wonder if my landy would still be here? I've thought about a ground...
