I seem to have a similar issue, the O/S sill has turned to a strange reddish/brown powder when I wasn’t looking, despite having somehow passed an MOT only. A few weeks ago. The advice is…, well the sensible advice is to walk away from this money pit but i feel a really odd sense of...

Figured The key turns in the lock barrel 90 degrees from vertical in both directions but it doesn’t open the door :(

I suspect I know the answer but, getting increasingly agitated, does the L322 have an EKA code like the P38 does ? Not sure it would help me as I’m completely locked out and looking at locksmith / house brick options Thanks again Bob

Hi, I’ve a 2003 L322 which has periodically shown some reticence with its remote locking. I’ve always had a ‘key battery low’ warning -despite brand new batteries in the fob, and it’s always just worked. Occasionally it would lock some doors and half-lock others but a lock / unlock cycle would...

Thanks !

Hi folks, Probably a common problem but here goes… What is the safest way to jack a 2003 L332 to change a rear wheel if the ‘normal’ jacking point is unsuitable ? Is it safe to jack under the lower wishbone ? -or does this risk EAS damage ? Is there anywhere else I should try ...

It’s a 2003 -so it’s basically an X5 -I’m not even sure how much Gap IID can do with it -it seems limited to reading EAS data but not being able to control it according to their product matrix -Although I’m sure someone on here will know :)

Is that the RSW (RWS ?) beastie ? Happily I managed to persuade the helpful AA guy to scan for faults and clear them and it’s all good now (for now !) 🤞🏻

Why doesn’t that surprise me 🤣 You know, I kinda like the ‘honesty’ of the P38… you know the deal you’re making when you drive one, the L322 pretends to be all Kinds of fancy !

Hi, I’ve had a look around and it seems like the BMW INPA software might be a good ‘first fix’ option for a 2003 L323. I do have an ODB2 / Serial adaptor I made for my P38 to use with RSW EAS software. I read, though that there may be a different pin-out for the INPA suite. Does anyone know...

Hi, I’ve just had to drive a Couple of hundred metres to get to a safe spot after a puncture which is annoying and was a bit ‘juddery’. Now safe and trying to jack the beast up to fit the spare I’ve come up against two issues: The scissor jack is utterly blooming useless and I’ve an EAS...

Hi, sorry to jump on this thread with a ‘me too’ but I have non functional parking sensors too. I get a beep ing and they switch lights up when I pop it into reverse but nothing useful. All 4 front and 4 rear appear to be ‘clicking’ will have a look at the paint issue as they do Have a bit of...

Does the Foxwell read / write to the EAS module and allow you to callibrate the EAS heights ? And, if purchasing, do I want the JLR or the BMW one ? Thanks again Bob

Hi, the rumbling happens in 4th and 5th in manual at the same speeds but that could still be the torque convertor as it’s only ‘semi’ manual and it still changes down automatically. I’ll get the transmission fluid changed this weekend -is it quite straightforwards in these supposed ‘sealed for...

Is that a ‘thing’ with this flavour of RR ? Is it likely to be a horrifically expensive experience ?

It is

Hi, a bit more info: It happens repeatedly at around 48-54 mph with very light acceleration and again around 65. It only happens with very light acceleration -if I accelerate moderately or hard or if I take my foot off the gas it doesn’t happen. It does this in Drive, 5th and 4th. It...

Hi, But of an odd one here… Whilst driving my 2003 4.4 petrol (110,000 miles) I occasionally get a weird ‘rumble’ which feels like going over a rumble strip. It lasts for about 1 sec then often the gearbox will kick down. It feels like it’s coming from the rear N/S. I wondered whether this...

Ah… I’m a lowly 2003 and my head unit looks like this:

Hi, I promised myself I wouldn’t do this but….. The majority of buttons on the standard spec head unit of my newly-acquired 2003 L322 don’t work -despite feeling like they give a positive contact -so I can’t change audio settings, control the on-board computer or even set the clock ! While...
