Well this weekend we finally got round to replacing the very frail but important egr filter on our l322 3.0 diesel, thus time we used the conversion kit. It took a little bit of fettling but fits fine now. It really IS worth the time and expense...

Hello Peopes, been a while! I am still standing despite ongoing medical issues that see me spending more time in hospital than I would wish but it is what it is! All good with the old girl but I want to adjust the handbrake because it currently...

Do all the prep work yourself, that will expose the cables that you can then protect

We use our 2006 L322 3.0tdi Vogue as a daily driver, but my son is a specialist engineer who keeps on top of all the maintenance and we did and continue to set aside a 'healthy' fix it slush fund. It has to be remembered that these were and are...

We did both of ours, and on our rr, there weren't any fixings just had to do a cut and weld job...very tricky. We used an old welder who has retired now, but it was a massive job and we did all the prep work which was substantial! It was well...

Well we finally have new boots and panties (oh er missus I meant Brembos )all round and it is a good feeling! However while I was busy with all that, my youngest son did a 'total' search on the old girl's chequered past and it was MOST revealing...

The handbrake is a notoriously 'last notch' contender even with new pads, shoes etc. I never worry as ours worked when it needed to on some of the steep hills and bridges in Normandy last summer. Speaking of brakes it never harms to do a fluid...

So today the old girl goes in for the final part of her spring make over, an additional pair of wild peak off road tyres. We had them on the back with michelin A/T's on the front, but are now adding a pair of new off peaks for the front. Will put...

I have never trusted cruise control since I experienced a 'surge' when travelling up the M1 in my old Jag, scared the bejesus out of me because it did n't respond to braking or adjusting from control unit, turned out to be a faulty relay, but put...

Put a new set of Brembo's on the front of the old girl because there was a slight grinding noise coming from the N/S, no wear sensors because they are retrofitted 'big boys', thought they had at least six months meat left on them when we changed...
