Does your car have a dpf? You need oil that won't kill it.
A3 B3 isn't designed for dpf, the C numbers are.

Morning Tricky, I can feel now everyone's toes curling as I announce that I didn't, I needed to be up and out so lifted the car on it highest setting and done everything at arms length and really quick. Not right I know and not on list of...
Morning Stu, I hope you had some stands under there when you clipped that wire up! Anyway, your water ingress sounds suspiciously like blocked sunroof drains or possibly windscreen seal, especially if the scream has been replaced in the past...
Whatever it is, it needs tying back up. If you get under the car use a couple of axle stands as back up and leave a door open. Especially if you put it in raised height to crawl under. The air suspension can do funny things 😄
Strange that there should be so much slack in the cable for it to hang down that far. It maybe a case of get under there and see where it goes to/from.
I think I've managed to fix both leaks! The sunroof leak was being caused by water getting between the rubber (somewhat fluffy) seal on the sunroof and the glass and then somehow tracking along the glass above the plastic. I tried various...
You have the ZF 5HP24 transmission and the New Venture Gear NV225 transfer box.
The critical thing is whether or not ‘P’ is lit up on the dash when the starter fails to operate?
Can you also just confirm that the message centre displays...
After standing overnight, you should see at least 12.6 volts at the battery terminals. With the engine running, just after starting, you should see 14.4 volts or more at the battery terminals. You need to check this before going any further.
New side vents arrived so gave them the colour coding treatment.
Finally my extra rattle cans arrived in preparation for repainting the scabby roof. Mean while iv turned my attention to a few scabby bits of body work starting with my os rear...
Thanks for the warm welcome, is there a resource on the forum for indie Landy specialists? I will take a look to see but would that be something i could ask of the group?
Welcome to the pleasure dome, I find every days is a school day when you drive a Land Rover. Enjoy your newly acquired L323 they are a dream when they work but can be a nightmare at times, that said easily the best car I’ve ever driven...
Welcome aboard.
I suspect @Datatek is referring to the many other hidden fault codes lurking in the background.
Hopefully most will be historic and the 35 current ones are easy to fix. :)
ok, it seems to be official. cruise control on the l322 is crap and its cost me a fortune!
finally done some reproducible tests.. flat road, no high winds, constant speed and no traffic etc, at 70mph I'm getting 8-10mpg more (dash display) with...
Drove it the 1000km home yesterday, no sign of the previous fault, May put the GAP on it today and have a good look around.
But faultless drive, I guess there is a reason we love them so much when they run well :).

Well.. after a few weeks of false starts and me butchering the Russian language. (also lots of help from the long haired colonel) Finally got all the parts and bits and pieces for the rear breaks to get the Black Beast back on the road with...
Welcome to LZ.
Better to check with diagnostics BEFORE buying.
Aircon may need more than a re-gas, condenser failure is not unknown.
If it's a diesel, the gearboxes have a life expectancy of not much more than 80K miles.
There is no guarantee...
Don't take it to landrover for Christ's sake !!
Pixilated display is common repair kits on the bay as to the rest have a look in the range rover section.
Good morning all,
So this is my first venture into the world of Range Rovers so please bear with me! I picked the 2002 Vogue (with a later facelift) up from London where its spent the last few years and drove it 160 miles north to Lincolnshire...
I would not tick the box - it's the car they don't like unless you've had lots of claims ?
Always best to use comparison sites first. Then call existing provider to see if they can beat best few quotes. If not pick one that does provide a...
Hi just wanted to share my experience. When you Admiral renewal went from £400 to £800 per year I went straight back to basics and filled in the “meerkats” comparison site. That way you’re going to get whatever is out there. The result for me was...
