Nice result :cool: Just goes to show that sometimes you just have to carry on doing the normal stuff like driving our Range Rover’s to the MoT station and keeping out fingers crossed everything we’ve done will be enough to pass with “No Advisories”. :eek::p:( Tricky :)

Regarding fault codes, can you tell us what they are or were? Also if cleared then cranked are you getting the same codes repeatedly or new ones each time. On the L322 I wouldn’t be so bold as to state that any fault code was not related to the main issue of not firing. My car was in a garage...

Seriously, you must get the water out and track the leak path in, because if you don’t you’ll be spending hundreds on someone else doing it. All the comments on damp electrical connections and green corroded terminals are based on real life Range Rover ownership not stab in the dark ideas. I...

Hi just to add that if you lock the suspension height it will automatically raise the car or disable the lock once you get moving, can’t remember speed but it’s only around 10 mph from memory. Bell pings like mad to let you know you’re a muppet :p. If you haven’t changed anything on the car...

I too saw this solution on another forum at the time but was nervous about drilling into a component with a very hefty replacement cost if I got it wrong. I believe this to be a good solution in theory if you aren’t the one paying if it doesn’t go well (a stray piece of swarf). I can report that...

Yes that’s part of the problem as the electrics control the release of the key to rotate in the barrel. I had exactly the same symptom as well as all the dash lights and non-starting. The fault codes would change every time they were reset, nothing made sense even to LR trained technicians with...

I’m running petrol through a 4.2 at sub 20mph for the most part. I can get a reading of 26mpg down hill and wind behind but I have to change the screen or look away as soon as the road levels off :confused:. Tricky :)

I’d be happy with 22mpg if you don’t want it, mine won’t go higher than 14 mpg on a good day:( Tricky :)

Hello folks, I think this thread of mine will help shed some light on the subject. Half way through you’ll find it starts again and then again for Goldrover. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/newby-needs-help-my-2005-4-2-supercharged-will-not-start.312101/ Essentially, bad earth (engine...

Respect for a job well done and documented, surely an inspiration to those who may need to do the same, especially as finding a new one had it’s issues last time I checked. Tricky :)

Sorry you’ve not got sorted it’s the sad reality with older cars. This may be the job that is not only worth doing yourself but will have to be done yourself. I agree you should read it through and work out exactly what you need because you’ll certainly get any hel you need here. Good luck...

I can confirm that my previous 2005 L322 suffered a Christmas Tree of lights on the dash when the Engine to Chassis Earth Strap connections corroded, well worth taking off and checking, at that age it’s almost bang on time. Tricky :)

Personally I think I’d do the air con first, it’s less complicated. Tricky ;)

NASA Titanium Thermostat Housing, like it. Tricky :D

Morning BigAd, Try Allroad Automotive in Tadcaster, they’re ex Land Rover so should be able to advise if their knowledge extends to P38’s. Failing that Moorside 4x4 in Kirkbymoorside have served me well in the past. Good luck. Tricky :)

Hi just wanted to say plus one to all of the above suggestions and add that if you’ve only just bought it you could benefit from leaving all the doors open in a warm garage for a few days, check the boot for water and invest in some cabin dehumidifier pillows because it’s a good chance it’s been...

Hi Jack, wondering how you are getting on or if you bottled it like me and bought a new unit complete. There are varying degrees of success with these kits and after doing one on my first L322 I decided, can’t be bothered to do it again plus the second car was in a lot better condition overall...

Looks well dodgy to me. Agree with the walk away advice. Personally I prefer 2005 onward but in any event find the best you can afford and keep £2,000 in the bank for unforeseen surprises. My rule is check everything works and any history should make it easier to sort the wheat from the chaff...

Wishing everyone in the Zone a Very Happy New Year and trouble free motoring throughout 2022. Tricky :)

I admire you tenacity, “We love Range Rovers”. Tricky :cool:
