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!
never when things are fine!!
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!Do you think any of us are stupid enough to say it is running fine?
Cheers
The missis made me promise when I bought the P38 that I'd get rid of one of the Alfas.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?!
My view exactlyI 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
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.Them electrochromy dimming thingy ones are stupid money, I ended up buying a heated tinted one and I think it was still about £70.
Erm .... I ... ahem, ...have electric mirrors on my MY March ‘95 DTWon't be that on his DT!

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 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 )

Next weekend. Honest.And how did that go?!
Next weekend. Honest.
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.Best wait for the summer now as Alfa prices are well known to dip for the winter.

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
Let me guess, water ingress, dodgy electrics, air suspension woes, rust problems, door locks anyone!?won't be long until we see a lot more of them on here. That should be fun
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
