Always very rewarding!
I have yet to undertake the 'ordeal' as it is quite a few months away - fortunately!

Well, yesterday I had ABS fault and Traction failure flash up. Brake pedal was staying down and then springing back a second or so later so figured air in there somewhere.
Tonight I went out to bleed the brakes. No sooner had I started than the snow and rain started. Got to the last part of the procedure (2/3rds travel on the N/S front) and the bl**dy battery went flat. Soaked through, freezing and generally naffed off. Battery on charge. Will start from scratch tomorrow when I've dried out and warmed up a bit. I've had enough of this weather. And I want a big garage with a four poster in it!

Seem to remember issues with diagnostics on some L322s? Can you read custom pids with Torque Pro and decode starting here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II_PIDs#Mode_1_PID_78
Too simplistic?

The missus hasn't locked you out of the house has she Grrrrrr ? A camp bed will suffice, it won't be forever.
Least I've got the caravan on the drive when I'm in the doghouse. (often)

Changed a reverse light bulb, that's the second bulb in 11 years of ownership. It's eating them.

Only bulb issue I've ever had is the front indicators and that isn't the bulb but the connection corroded by so much crap flying up.

Brakes re-bled with full battery charge and all is back to normal. And thanks to MrGorsky popping up the b*st*rd bolt is off and the bumper with it ... and then back on again because the hole-saw that came with the parking sensors was made out of jelly. Pretty much melted as soon as it hit the metal. So, new hole-saw required and so another week lost.

I went through 3 of them doing the first 2 holes on mine. One and a bit holes per cutter, the steel inner bumper is very heavy gauge. The last drill I used was a TCT broaching cutter, MUCH better!

Low speed drill helps.
It is a variable speed one so nice and slow. Bit of oil helps too. But this Chinese junk won't touch Rangie steel. Ordered carbide ones off the bay.

Fitted new abs pump rubber mounts.
Bonnet release cable next on the list followed by the r380 gearlever bush, springs and plate, the one that sets the gate for 3rd and 4th gear.
Currently like stirring a bowl of porridge that is only slightly thicker than water.

Damned if I could get the selector box bolts out on mine. Replaced the whole thing in the end. Got the old one in a box in my shed ready for refurb of those springy things ... and there it has been for at least 2 years.
