    L322 L322 Battery strangeness

    Although a low volt battery can generally start the car it may be too low to power some of the ECUs stopping them booting correctly. What battery did Halfrauds sell you? They originally sold me a 900A as per the book and it was fine when used daily but struggled if the car wasn't used for a...

    Diesel or PHEV

    The older Outlander switches to ICE if you switch too many things on or go too fast but the later 2.4 engine version can run full electric at higher speeds.

    L322 Airbag light on...

    Mine used to do that regularly and diagnostics always said battery disconnect module. Cleaning the rusty nut seemed to clear it.

    Diesel or PHEV

    The only thing that puts me off is the cost of replacing the batteries. A plug in hybrid would be ideal for my 16 mile commute as we have plenty of charging bays available at work and reduced car park charges but the thought of the cost and if they will even be available in say 5 years time is a...

    Diesel or PHEV

    I saw a video of a recovered burned out EV that had to be followed by a fire engine until it was dunked in the water tank.

    With all the EVs around I'm sure it will become a thing.

    Do they not immerse EV's in a water tank to stop them reigniting?

    At least the water will put the fire out :)

    Diesel or PHEV

    I wouldn't even consider an older PHEV that is likely to need a new battery soon due to the cost of a replacement. Mind you I wouldn't condsider electric at all unless it was free for the same reason :)

    Advice on Tyre choice please!

    I thought the 235 and 255 was just the width and it's the 85 that determines the diameter? Happy to be educated otherwise.

    Range Rover Hybrid - replace batteries with alternator?

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    LR feature or fault? I suspect it's a fault. :) Got check main beam warning so changed bulb and still dead. Turned the key off and took it out and engine still running. Seems I can only turn the engine off with the lights off or on dipped beam. Looks like I'm gonna be checking my wiring.

    Welcome aboard. I suspect @Datatek is referring to the many other hidden fault codes lurking in the background. Hopefully most will be historic and the 35 current ones are easy to fix. :)
