Took my 4.2 sc on a 6 hour round round trip from Rochdale to Duxford air museum Cambs, drove great there and back, even kept the mother in law happy! Took about £95 fuel with average of around 24-26mpg. Also for anyone not been Duxford is definitely worth visiting- we’ve been twice and saw...

Very true even though 405s and new one are bigger than 322s like you say I think they were the last true Range Rover shape where anyone even them not into cars could identify a Rangie from a corner or roof or headlamp, everything else especially hatchbacks and crossover things all look the same.

Was wondering if anyone else has noticed an increase in L322s being noticed by general public presumably since Harry’s farm did a video, Ian Tyrell did one and obviously clarksons farm all feature older l322s despite all 3 having enough cash to get a late one. Was pulling out of a junction...

Looks well!

Was talking to mate of mine yesterday who said why would I recommission my 4.2v8 over the much cheaper to run E class, I said look at the cost of repair on them and issues diesels can have over petrol, and in Land Rover world there is plenty of 2.7/3.0v6 and 3.6tdv8 and a few 4.4tdv8s all spare...

Got mine back on the road, ended up buying sort of by accident of a mate a 11reg merc E350cdi, new for me as iv never had 3l v6 diesel, saloon, or merc or rear wheel drive. Lovely car on motorway, very quiet and RWD was fun on damp corners but recommissioned the 4.2 Sc L322 today, other half was...

Had to sort my 06 4.2 RR out as it developed a leak from gearbox wiring sleeve so ordered parts Friday, rearranged jobs for today and got stuck in, new sleeve, new oil and sump, took about 3 hours but drives better now.

That’s what I mean, it’s too tight for access with the actual metal shell of the car getting in the way of getting grips or stillsons etc on that metal cup.

Can’t get anything down at moment as the large hex socket on the weight doesn’t go through and no room at the sides to get anything in, when turning the hex on the weight everything seems to rotate, unlike the passenger side where the weight it solid. That’s what made me think is the top nut...

That was what I read the other day but the weight is locktighted to the mounting and even when warmed up the whole thing rotates and there isn’t enough room to get something to grip it’s mounting cup from in the engine, need to take strut out and have it in a vice then get something like...

That’s what I was thinking if I can pull the strut out and remove the threaded weight then torque up the cup it screws onto and the top damper nut it should help, it did have new front struts about 3/4 years back with previous owner and they still look in good condition. Like I say it was...

Surprised if they make so much difference that without them it would feel “unsettled” never had them on my td6 but then a 4.2sc is a more refined animal.

One reason I’m removing and checking/ swapping the drivers strut is a clunk bit like a knackered top mount, iv noticed the weight moves and can turn within its cup which I believed to be held on with the shock absorber/ damper top nut where passengers side is solid, iv also got a odd noise a bit...

Hi everyone just about to swap a strut on my 4.2sc l322 and just wondering about the weight that’s on top of the strut, according to workshop manual only models with brembo brakes have them supposedly called brake vibration damper, now this may be a stupid question as iv never seen them before...

Quite rare to hear of issues especially HG failure on the 4.2sc, generally classed as the most reliable RR engine.
