Over-landed the RRS Auto 5.0… had to do it once to see what she was made of. It was better than advertised. Only complaint, need to be able to lock in extended height mode indefinitely to keep from having to reactivate b/w obstacles.

Nice, you've done something that 99% of those models and their drivers have never done 👍

It'll only choose extanded mode if the vehicle thinks in real difficulty like being high centered. You might want to check the underside plastics if you've experienced extended mode😜
 
Today's fault on turning the key: ALTERNATOR FAULT!

FFS. Will check battery voltage when I get home. If that is OK, maybe I can get away with just replacing the gubbins in the top of the alternator?

Hope it's not cooking the battery 🤯 more likely it's just not charging enough/at all
 
Joined the M23 from Gatwick heading towards M25 yesterday evening. Suspension fault, down to bump stops, managed to get to one of those emergency lay-byes. then waited for RAC. From 9:00pm until 1;00 am on side of motorway, then until 2;00am until recovery truck arrived, then in truck until 4;30am when they left us at a service station. We got home at 3:00pm today but my L322 is still at the services waiting for onward recovery, which they failed to do today at all. o_O Not feeling good about my car or the RAC at the moment!
Really Appalling Cover. Once this year's cover is up I will never touch them again .Don't forget they won't come out if the suspension ever has a problem again. I'm going back to the AA. Quicker recovery time, better customer service, and will come out no matter how many times the Golden Girl throws fit over the same thing.
 
Spending time on the car today. Replacing the kvm isn't something i can do as sdd fish can't change the VIN stored in it.
Still trying to get the headliner down far enough to get to the rf receiver

Had that on mine a couple of weeks back. Was seeing less than 11v running I believe as well. Took about 30 minutes to swap the alternator out for a recon spare I had on the shelf. Not a massive job but certainly a pain in the ass when it happened!
 
Walked past her and thought " I'm either dumb or it's love". Friend was complaining yesterday that her garage started work on her car for MoT without saying what it would cost. Well that's not on BUT she then said I'd sooner get rid if it isn't worth it as car is now old. Her car is around 8yrs old. It shows the difference between green/black oval owners and the majority of every other marque. In the almost 15yrs of ownership I could probably have bought a newer one at any point and spent around the same.
However, even if i had changed her for another vehicle , it would have been another L322 because I like them. I would be inheriting other people's problem. So 23yrs and counting but I know everything that has been done to her and yes it's cost more than the initial purchase price but I still love her 😍

That can be anything from a bad connection, the D+ goes via the BECM, to worn brushes. Worn brushes being the most likely. A new regulator assembly from Mobiletron is the way to go if it's brushes.
 
Omg!! There is progress!!!
But
The frigging rf receiver is not near the sunroof it's near the tailgate!!
Never mind! It's replaced and now i go through and test the keys. Green all the way!! Add both new keys...
Key 1 successfully programmed
Key 2 successfully programmed.
Result!!
Next step fails.. unable to verify keys. Programming incomplete

So close yet so far
