    L322 Rear wiper motor leak fix?

    Liked the thread but you never put the pictures up! Perhaps you could find them and post for future generations of RR L322 owners. Cheers. Tricky :cool:

    Electric cars

    Ditto - Interestingly in York the electric scooters have been removed because of lack of use, clearly the good people of York like to walk everywhere. :cool:

    Electric cars

    Living in a city like York I can confirm that electric vehicles, especially buses and vans have completely transformed noise and air quality in the city centre. Also the increased number of electric delivery vans across the city have made a difference to the wider environment but at what cost...

    Electric cars

    I must concur, we can all make changes to our consumption of energy in many ways that would be better than converting all cars to electric. I still need to be convinced that EV’s are not a smoke and mirrors project by the automotive industry. We are fully aware that Tesler (the scientist) had...

    Electric cars

    I think we all agree it’s probably better but we’re also being fed some miss truths a bit like the diesel economy figures of recent years. Plus without 100% renewable energy it’s a scam anyway because the CO2 from fossil fuels is still being pumped out. As cars they’re generally an awesome drive...

    Electric cars

    Hi folks, confession time. As the Dads Taxi costs were sky rocketing in the Range I had an opportunity to take on a Skoda full electric car. Getting home charging at 8 pence per KWh it costs less that £7.00 for a full charge. To date it’s saved me over £1,500 in petrol. No problems at all, as I...

    L322 Unknown Cable?

    Morning Stu, I hope you had some stands under there when you clipped that wire up! Anyway, your water ingress sounds suspiciously like blocked sunroof drains or possibly windscreen seal, especially if the scream has been replaced in the past. Given the age of your Range it’s a fair bet. You have...

    Welcome to the pleasure dome, I find every days is a school day when you drive a Land Rover. Enjoy your newly acquired L323 they are a dream when they work but can be a nightmare at times, that said easily the best car I’ve ever driven. Definitely find those local independent Land Rover...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Hi just wanted to share my experience. When you Admiral renewal went from £400 to £800 per year I went straight back to basics and filled in the “meerkats” comparison site. That way you’re going to get whatever is out there. The result for me was a new supplier 1st Central at £400 per year...

    Doing oily bits is very rewarding and often necessary but every once in a while it’s great to add something that the original designer would have done especially where it takes some years off the appearance of an awesome ride. Again, we’ll done Dave. Tricky :cool:

    Go without at that price, we hardly suffer arctic weather just yet. Checkout a breakers guaranteed unit from a RR specialist dismantler. Tricky :cool:

    L322 Replacing reverse light unit

    You don’t need to remove that top strip to get the lamp off, simply unscrew the screw on the top and lift the lamp out. The electrical cable can be pulled through and you Rotate the bulb holder to remove. Refitting is the reverse ;). Tricky :cool:

    Hi @Rosie 67 your not alone, we all get this at some time. I know your model shares running gear with the Discovery of that year so you could ask the question in that forum but in the meantime, check that the compressor runs up when you start the car but should go quiet after the system is...

    Hi, I like the advice about shoe adjustment as mine are scraping slightly just now but I also have a binding calliper piston to deal with. However, I did have a problem with the shoe holding pin that came loose and sounded like a stone trapped in the drum. Worth pulling it all apart to check...

    P38A Insurance prices getting silly

    Just pulled the L322 Supercharged off our Admiral Multicar Policy as they doubled the premium despite having no claims or convictions i previous year. The increase wiped out the discounts given on our other three cars, what a scam. So I’m currently looking into a single policy fit the Range as...
