actually with the Zf is a very very good box but the weakness is a badly designed radiator/ transcooler and the rather stupid advice of life time fill on the ATF. Apparently this might be to do with eu rules on recycling oil and the expected life of it. Great if you want to comply with these...

The front diffs did fail but that was a recall matter and is I believe can still be done for free if it hasnt been already. Simple job give the registration and chasis number to a dealer and they will tell u if it has been done. If it hasnt they should do it and then that prob is solved...

I did mention the electrics which covers alot of that. Most of the car runs off the electrics as I found to my cost when the alternator gave up!...couldnt even get the key out of the ignition until a booster pack was on. I did mention the water leaking in the nearside and the rather silly...

lol.... I do love these helpful and lets face it informative discussions....:tea:

Not sure that is very fair... L322's do suffer from niggles but I think it really is down to how they have been maintained. If you get one that hasnt been serviced and maintained, or had a hard life towing, well then I think you are in a world of problems. But well loved ones with...

I recently upgraded from a rrc. I like it. The main problems seem top be;- 1. The alternators go. This manifests itself by making the vehicle act like a clown mobile with the various electrics etc resetting and not working. Alternators are £1000 from Lr or £250 for a recon one and not much to...

this one prob........ :drum:

burn what?....

Does anyone else live in the countryside and like it? I ask because we moved out to the countryside 5 years ago when we got married. We bought a nice 500 yr old listed building in a village that everyone said was a money pit, but ironically is still cheaper than running a landrover, and...

not quite yet.... but unlike the RRC i think this one could push me dangerously close...... all it needs is for a light to blow and the stock market drops 5%...:screaming_bug_eye_f

so we are all agreed... the alt.. thats that sorted ....lets go over to the freelander section and take the mick out them now.... :fish:

all the boys say that cheeky............. :D

I drove my L322 in the snow the other day as I know many of you little devils did. It got quite covered in slush and wet and the doors didnt fall off.... Im just wondering if any other landrovers had their doors fall of..... I saw a gaylander driving around with no doors but didnt know if...

:behindsofa: This is a brief summary of my whole experience with the Trans overheat and safe mode rubbish… It’s a cautionary tale with some interest to people who have not discovered the joy of the pub or watching television X free view when the missus has gone to bed&#8230...

good luck

denzel, Bemble is perfectly correct... the delay in actually moving off is symptom of a failing box. some people have mmanaged to prolong the life by changing the fluid and filters etc but it does appear its usully terminal. The best thing is to budget for a new one and try and just live...

Neo... Its the alternator... the new RR's require one hell of an amount of power and charge just to keep all the toys working...when that drops the battery doesnt charge ,,the ecu gets confused and all the toys start shutting down or screaming errors because the power isnt constant and...

Andy, Is the car actually going into park..the reason I ask is that if the gear selector isnt selecting park properly then the switch that recognises the key transponder wont release the key... on range rovers.net..................I apologise for mentioning another forum ...there are some...
