    Swapping the Jaguar for a L322?

    I just kept my eye open for what I wanted. (Dark Blue Vogue with blue carpets & leather with ivory piping and full service history.) Wrapping can often be a way to hide an issue on the car and there was a a few marks and scratches etc. Nobody had looked at the car until I did so I got it for a...

    Swapping the Jaguar for a L322?

    Afternoon gents. Here's my experience. I got my 'old girl' in April. I spent a fair bit on her after I'd got the keys as it were. Had the bodywork minted up and took it to a garage that deals exclusively with these battle buses. (LRR in Greenwich, great bunch of guys.) I paid not that much for...

    Parking Sensor conundrum.

    Planes do 'tow' drones / gliders / targets tugs all the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_tug I've spent a fair few hours in Chipmunk but only every forwards. :)

    Parking Sensor conundrum.

    I'm going to change the ECU and if it still doesn't work I'll take it a main stealer. :flame:

    Parking Sensor conundrum.

    It's not a case of not knowing how to reverse. (It's got a camera in any case... Plus I was taught to drive and reverse (including with a trailer) by the RAF so I'm more than able to do it.) Point is it's the only thing (other than the folding wing mirrors which I've got the kit to fix) that's...

    Well that's what I thought but it does ding when you put it in reverse just once though.

    Parking Sensor conundrum.

    Wow. You go away for a few days and look what happens!!! I've flushed the Jeffries tubes and the flux capacitor is on 11 so it should all work? As an aside I did see a post about the ECU, is it possible that this is fried even though I can see distances being measured by the sensors and...

    Parking Sensor conundrum.

    Very droll. It's the only thing left that doesn't work on her. If you press the button it bleeps and flashes but that's all I can tell you as I don't know anything else!

    Parking Sensor conundrum.

    Hey up folks. Here's an odd one. (Another odd one that should read!) The parking sensors on my old girl seem not to work. There's no fault showing on my allcomms and my Uncle's just had a look with his snap on system and when he was in the diagnostic he could see the distances from each...

    Independent Garage East London Area?

    Every vehicle there was a Land Rover of some description. From Defenders, Discoveries, Sports and Range Rovers. I was genuinely impressed with their knowledge and work. My old girl's going back in on Wednesday to have some suspension bushes / anti roll bar bits and bobs sorted that they...

    flat battery / wont unlock ???

    Same thing happened to me, ended up touching some wires to the starter motor to get some juice into her. Let me see if I can find my thread. Have a look at this one: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f10/wont-unlock-remote-key-281092.html

    Gearbox holding gear.

    Top Tip Wammers thanks. (Oddly enough I almost always put an auto in Neutral and put the handbrake on in traffic so it turns out I'm doing something right for once! :)

    Gearbox holding gear.

    Thanks Saint. I'm No good with a set of spammers so I'm going to mention it to the garage when it's going in next week and say that I'm Ok with a new rad / cooler / etc. she's getting a gearbox service as well so I'm hoping it's all good after that.

    Gearbox holding gear.

    Been out in her just now and on the A13 she was fine. Ended up taking a drive to St. Lawrence Bay and the winding roads must have taken their toll on her as she started doing it again. Stopped for a drink and she was ok most of the way home but she ended up balding the revs after a while. It was...

    I was happy with what I paid for them.

    Gearbox holding gear.

    Cheers for that. She's booked in the garage for a transmission service in ten days. I'll ghave be them a ring and mention it. Might be worthwhile changing out the radiator as they are t that expensive are they?

    Gearbox holding gear.

    Thanks. What should I do about driving her? I've not had any errors yet but when stuck in traffic both times I've had the high revs / reluctance to change up.
