I used my L322 to recover my brother's L320. That thing is fighting us at every turn and it's getting a bit tedious now.
Parking brake module died - ball ache!
Shoes and back plates knackered -have to press out the drive flange - Ball ache!
On the nearside the top bush was seized, had to cut it off and press in a new one - Ball - ache!
Metal brake pipe rotted out, had to un-seize the unions to the flexi pipes - not too bad really, stop whining.
Got it back together and went for a short drive for diesel and to bed in the EPB shoes. Coolant leaking everywhere!
Lower hose reseated (not sure why it has only just decided to leak) - easy fix.
Still showing no diesel... Odd, another £50 in the tank. Still showing no diesel until you brake and then it goes to full.
Head to tyre shop for 4x tyres and alignment. Fitted, wallet emptied again.
Leaves tyre shop - car cuts out, restarts instantly, drives 100 yards and cuts out. Will idle smoothly for 20 seconds, hesitates and recovers about 6 times then cuts out but restarts instantly, still shows no diesel.
Bring on the mighty 4.4 L322 to tow it a couple of miles. I think we have a wiring issue to the fuel pump/sender unit. I can't bring myself to crawl under it again this week, he will have to wait, I'm taking my kids to France in the L322 for the weekend.
It's all good fun!
