    Loss of drive/power

    Hmmm...you are probably correct. Funnily enough I used to design and run 'high tech' recording studios where we had access to the most modern test equipment, however our maintenance team used to have a small cricket bat nick named 'chicken man' that was used when all else failed to carry out...

    Loss of drive/power

    Oil change was done by previous owner who was very useful at 'spannering'. Took the old girl out for a 100 mile run early doors today and she ran sweet as a peach, dropped in at a 'friendly' garage who did a scan for a pack of beers and nothing showed up, no codes ne nada! I am still convinced...

    Loss of drive/power

    Nothing showing on my reader, but it is not a very comprehensive although it usually shows up common faults like coil or cylinder failures.

    Loss of drive/power

    gearbox had oil change 18 months ago, for some reason I am convinced it has got something to do with the 'brain' of the vehicle, everytime I try exploring the options available something weird tends to happen to the vehicle electronics. No codes are showing on my reader..will take it on a proper...

    Loss of drive/power

    Bit of a weird one this, especially as we are just about to go off to Normandy! Used vehicle today no problem, parked up for a while when restarting there was very little power reaching the wheels but no slip... kept on going and it was obviously some sort of problem, tried using sport mode to...

    Multiple issues, mechanic stumped

    Try looking at the loom that is located in the passenger footwell, there are several really dubious 'factory connections' that depended on the extras selected. Strongly suggest resplicing questionable or crusty connections, better still use proper male and female connectors and crimp them really...

    P38A Parking restrictions

    you would have to use 'passenger access' mode, not sure if you have it on a P38. We have to use it most times on our L322 because the ride has been jacked up with a lift kit by 7.5 cms

    At Last Passenger Electric Window Sorted!

    Crikey Mikey, blimey O'Reilly, blooming passenger side window sorted! Having changed the selector switch, gone through virtually all the wiring loom and the entire fuse box to no avail I was about to give up. But finally bit the bullet and changed the regulator....success! £14.50p from E-Spray...

    passenger side front window not working

    Thanks for the diagram, I shall use it to investigate further. Unfortunately the earth cleaning didn't help but the parking mirror facility returned after the garage fitted the new upper and lower suspension arms. I didn't get them to scan or do further work because of the potential cost...

    passenger side front window not working

    Thanks for the reply, I am going to do exactly what you suggested. I am going to undo the earth point connection and give the area a good clean with 1000 wet and dry and then contact spray. If that doesn't work at least I can eliminate that cause, as you pointed out the fact that there is a...

    Low voltage problem

    I wish mine was just the sunroof drain leak, just received replacement passenger door electric window switch which I am going to fit tomorrow, if that doesn't solve my problem I will then put in a replacement regulator, if that doesn't work I am going to lock myself in a dark room!

    passenger side front window not working

    Window update, not good! I examined the loom located in the passenger sill area and despite finding a couple of dodgy 'splicings' which i re-did and one cable that was broken which I fixed the blooming window still refuses to budge! As there is an audible click emanating from the door itself...

    passenger side front window not working

    Having taken the door card off and given everything a blast of switch cleaner I can say the problem is NOT in the switches, however after ordering a spare 2nd hand switch and window regulator at a bargain price I realised that the fault was probably in the loom located in the passenger well. It...

    passenger side front window not working

    Just went out to take a look today at my window problem, there is a noise of an actuator or whatever coming from inside the door when the switch is selected from the drivers cluster and the actual passenger switch. So I will take the door card off and have a look I fear this is going to get messy!

    passenger side front window not working

    Thanks Data, it is actually a 2006 L322 but I think the switch gear is the same. I will have a go with contact cleaner but fear the problem might be water that has come down from the sun foof and affected the loom that runs along the passenge side sill as I used the sunroof for the first time...

    passenger side front window not working

    Hi all, Sods law, just about to go off to Brittany for a week or so and passenger side front window has suddenly stopped working. I have changed the fuse just in case bit no joy. All the other windows work fine as does the central locking on all doors, does anyone have any ideas what I need to...

    L322 Rear Screen Washer Leak Resolved

    "BTW, the it's a common washer tank in the engine bay. It has 3 pumps (all interchangeable I think) for the front screen, headlights and rear screen" Our headlamp washers don't work either....someone obviously thought they wold fix them sometime but gave up due to the complexity of the...
