Someone tried that a week or so ago at Bromborough,he got shot in the leg for his trouble.New rules at McDonalds are that the second car in the drive through queue must leave a fifteen foot gap to the first car in the queue. This so anyone with a black car or more importantly a black person in any colour of car can jump the queue.

I honestly dont think the electronics are much to worry about as lo g as it hasn't suffered water ingress in the rear there good to go and just as easy to fix as a p38 with decent diag
Anything is easy to fix if you know what you are doing. Some find anything hard work.
Had various Classics and Discos and now have a P38 which is wonderful apart from just doing the normal air bags, exhaust, filters etc. just stuff that needs doing. But is now pushing 200k and had its 25th birthday in March.
So you reckon the L322 is no worse?
Do you not have to take the body off to change the plugs?
Is an L322 better than a P38?

I've had no problems electrically until the recent indicator failure which I aim to fix before I move it on.
Really is no more complicated than a p38, just more of it.
That said, the wiring diagrams are very good and easy to follow.

It's recently had new plugs and there are no body off procedures as it doesn't have separate chassis like the disco and sport.
In terns of driving dynamics, my personal experience is it feels much more modern and a bit better planted than the p38.
As far as the engine goes, it's a world ahead of the rv8.
Body off on the sport and Disco 3 etc...L322 is not a body off motor...until you get int othe TDV8's where Body-off/Engine-drop is easier for some jobs.
L322 is more planted car, feels more solid to drive, but the P38 is a better ride comfort wise - seats are better in the P38 too

When you say it has issues, can they be fixed easily with little cost? And do you require good spanner skills, if not, pro help would be expensive?

You are joking? The CAN BUS system is way more complicated than anything you will find on a P38 and so is the EAS.
Agree with the planted, but the heat/cool seats are lovely in the 322, I do find my arm rolls off the armrest in the 322 as it’s skinnier than the P38
. I find the ride on normal roads both the same, but our bumpy roads home the 322 copes a little better in the comfort department.But the 322 is just the next generation in the Range Rover level and the problems to come. A well maintained/cared for 1 will do just as well as the P38 IMO.
I love both. They both eat miles when needed and you can still walk straight at the end of a long drive.

Agreed, it's not as simple to diagnose that data but the wiring is pretty simple
Can bus is basically 2 wires carrying data.

Having so many things connected on a common BUS makes life difficult, it's often not possible to see the cause of the problem on diagnostics if the BUS is held down for example. Look at the LCM problems, ignition switch problems the chaos that can be caused by a HID failure, I could go on and on and on.

I take a knee when using my 2-poster, fitting skirting boards or looking for errant sockets that rolled under the work-bench.My lad ,who's not racist and an ex pongo,said he takes the knee for The Fallen, The Queen and to take aim.
