Should there be a "hint hint" at the end.

And the hope that Adrian Flux insurance dont read itShould there be a "hint hint" at the end.
just read through this and blimey what a thread, i bought a D3 a year ago as a project and understand landies can try our patients
had a few months myself when it was one thing after another , compressor, airbag fault, , belts and tensioner , oil pump , water pump, but stuck with it and slowly getting there
@Pluribus , i really hope u get this resolved and keep ur sanity
I do feel very sorry for you, I can only imagine how frustrating that car is. However, considering all the problems you have had, I'm amazed you took it to France. Did you seriously expect it to get there and back without issue. I don't like taking my landy out of my postcode let alone the country.

Rig up some protection with an umbrella and black nasty. that'll stop the rain getting in and draw admiring glancesThey wait till you're at your most vulnerable. I did over 300 miles today and the fecking roof decided to start leaking above tge rear quarter and through my lovely new headlining. It bloody knew I'd have no chance to fix it for a week.
I agree. Most cars made in the 2000's are potentially failing requiring expensive repairs. Ten year disposable cars are becoming a reality...While I sympathise with the OP, this is exactly the tale of woe that prompted me to buy a classic, and a VM at that. I really cant be doing with all the complicated issues the RR krapton factor gods seem able to slide in under the radar to bite you in the bum.
Not just Land rover products either, everything you buy these days has so many potential faults that after 5 or 6 years most just get sold on for silly money.
Just when I thought I could learn to like the heap of **** again, this happens - 200 miles into the first day of my French holiday.
This car is SERIOUSLY ****ING ME OFF.
Man, that sounds absolutely disastrous, sounds like a broken crank or something.
Be very interested to know what in fact the problem is, that is if you find out before you completely dispose of it, one way or the other.
I agree absolutely frustrating and disappointing, it's very hard to own these what are really nice cars after they are a few years old unless you have lots of mechanical ability or a truckload of cash.
A good lesson here for those that would aspire to own a luxury vehicle that is "past the use by date.". It is a sorry tale, try not to let it bugger up your holiday too much.
Point taken, but could one be sure the constant anguish and pain is worth it, we have a saying here, "its a lot of car for little money", and, of course there is a reason for " the little money" bit, you would definitely need to embrace ownerhip with both eyes wide open.Sorry but got to disagree.the L322 may have reached a certain age that could be considered 'sell by' but they are not past thier 'use by'.The lesson is, as is repeated on here time and again, wanting a luxury vehicle but not wanting the upkeep costs.The L322 has her problems and most of us know what they are by now, either by harsh experience or listening to others experiences. However, if treated properly, faults sorted rather than ignored and an acceptance that money must be spent to get another 5-10yrs out of it, they are still luxury vehicles and still well within their 'use by' date. They are not for the faint hearted or drama queens.
