Is it me thinking this or is the L322 just a bunch of trouble? seems like so many different problems on the L322 compaird to the P38
 
Anyone noticed the number of L322 questions we're getting?! Mind you, they're becoming quite affordable to buy ... Probably because they all need fixing!


And I just did a post on that to, I think its a valid point, although most come here only when it goes wrong, never when things are fine!!
 
I never considered an L322 on the basis of no chassis and even more, more complicated electronics.
I've had my fair share of v8 woes, mainly thanks to a dodgy seller, but I'd rather buy another as opposed to an L322
Plus i think they look even uglier
 
Do you think any of us are stupid enough to say it is running fine?
Cheers
Well I'm here to say it seems the P38 is a lot less trouble, I have a 97 and its not got a spot of rust on the chassis, yet your getting L322's with only a few years on them with rust all over, and water ingress, something is wrong!
 
I got the EAS working. Inordinately happy. New battery in and everything seems to work. Left it on wading height, we'll see what it looks like tomorrow.
 
Had a look at a 4.6 p38. Not without issues but nothing that cannot be fixed. Only issue is how much will it go for ... and how do I justify a second money pit?!

The missis made me promise when I bought the P38 that I'd get rid of one of the Alfas.

My view exactly:D
 
Anyone watch RoyalJordanian on YouTube? the number of BLACK Range Rovers is about 98% I dont get why... and there's loads of them in London
 
Them electrochromy dimming thingy ones are stupid money, I ended up buying a heated tinted one and I think it was still about £70.
I replaced the passenger side one with a cheap flat non-electric glass. The plastic insert I bought snapped so ended up gorilla gluing the old one in place ; is still on there 15 months and few whacks later.

Won't be that on his DT!
Erm .... I ... ahem, ...have electric mirrors on my MY March ‘95 DT :confused::confused::D
But only drivers side works! When I rolled it the pass unit got totalled, replaced with an electric one but I bought one with wrong type connector :rolleyes: hid it in door and put non electric glass in as above. Came off the p38 I had wrong colour bonnet/wing from. If you look in my pics one is blue other is original black abs plastic (just don’t tell anyone ;))

They're all electric but I doubt yours self dip or have antiglarecliquid crystal.
 
Best wait for the summer now as Alfa prices are well known to dip for the winter. ;)
LOL. To be fair, one of them is just a donor car for my daily. Paid £87 on ebay for it and I've had at least £500 worth of parts off it. I might actually ring the scrappers tomorrow, it doesn't owe me anything.

I think what some seem to forget is,the L322 is no longer the new kid on the block. They have been around for almost 18years.
There are some, like mine, that have been looked after all their lives. However, many, many , more have not, and people are buying them thinking 'oh I can afford a Range Rover, look how cheap they are'. They have them two days , and find out why the last owner got rid, at such a low, 'bargain', price.
The L405 is now 7 year old , won't be long until we see a lot more of them on here. That should be fun ;)

If only it had its own prefix like the P38 and L323!

I think it's a JLR conspiracy. No prefix = no faults 9a2684c4213171476e13732af3b26537.jpg
