4.4 i hope, the 3.6 can be problematic I believe.It wasn't MY Rangie, all I've done in mine today is drive it to work, but I did service an L322 (lovely TDV8) today which meant my first time driving one (albeit a short drive).
It might have been a very expensive service for me - going to be exercising all my self restraint now to avoid buying one!

No, he's driven it and now wants to buy one.Why expensive? Something up with it or a major service?
It was a 3.6, but it was lovely and smooth, and very wafty suspension compared to the 1988 daily driver Rangie!4.4 i hope, the 3.6 can be problematic I believe.
That's the one! And for the right engine, and a decent service history, I'd be looking at bankruptcy the first time it had a fault I couldn't fix myself!No, he's driven it and now wants to buy one.
The price wont matter ,once hooked the madness takes overNo, he's driven it and now wants to buy one.
Don't say that!The price wont matter ,once hooked the madness takes over

They have a tendency to consume the turbos I believe I think the oil return pipes gum up as they're close to the exhaust.It was a 3.6, but it was lovely and smooth, and very wafty suspension compared to the 1988 daily driver Rangie!
What usually goes wrong with the 3.6, if you're familiar enough to say?

I've got two classics, a sensible (relatively speaking) daily with a 200TDI in, and a 3.5 V8 with carbs that uses most of its fuel getting to the local shellAnd that why i dont have 2 ,Iknow the l233 is like night n day to drive,against the p38,,so many many people have said ,but i never indulged my self ,if i did i would not want to part with me p38 ,n , id be where u are now,,,,,but but a mate of mines round the corner had a l233 ,and now has a 3.0 ltr 405 ,n he said the l233 was a better car ,the l405 is two flimsy feeling, not quality each too there own ....mind u i did mention the 3.0 cranks snap
Oof, I dread to think what that costs. Do me a favour, when I post saying "looking for an L322" in a few weeks, remind me of that!They have a tendency to consume the turbos I believe I think the oil return pipes gum up as they're close to the exhaust.
,Aaa,nd egr,s ,,not two ,well there is two ,,expensive but it all adds up ...Oof, I dread to think what that costs. Do me a favour, when I post saying "looking for an L322" in a few weeks, remind me of that!
WHY NOT..???I can't have three Range Rovers though
The bastids that run the lottery keep pulling other people's numbers out instead of mineWHY NOT..???
Normal,funnily enough my P38 did the same,O/S good N/S needed welding, I put it down to the trim and side step collecting mud and moisture On the 322 the steel has a high Boron content so short weld runs to keep the temperature as low as possible otherwise it will crack when cooling. good luckToday (well yesterday now actually) I went in search of my missing N/S/R jacking pad, never found it, but at least have a better understanding of where it may have evaporated too
Oh, you have to love the Joy's of L322 ownership. Weirdly, having removed the plastic skirt from the offside, that is in reasonable condition. Wonder if that is common?
I will fix her up and post the outcome, just praying for this dry weather to continue, cos I am working from my driveway
