    L322 Why is there a budgerigar in my dashboard?

    I’m waiting for Henry to ask if I’ve checked there isn’t a real budgie in there? And because I pay attention to him, I’ll probably go and check!

    Nice. I have to use crawl mode on mine to get under the height bar on the local Waitrose!

    L322 Why is there a budgerigar in my dashboard?

    This is my own fault - having just eulogised about the L322 in another thread - mine has just developed a fault. There is chirrup such as a budgie might make - coming from the fan. If i turn on climate control to auto, or manually turn on the fan - the budgie starts chirruping. Turn it off - no...

    There is a common thread in here - whichever you go for - check the service record. It is SOOOOOOO important that these are serviced as per the recommended intervals. If one has been poorly serviced, incomplete service records or not as per schedule - (doesn't have to be a main dealer) - then...

    Really you shouldn’t pay attention to me at all. i’m an evangelist for the 4.4. I have looked at ‘upgrading’ mine, to a more recent model - and i can’t find one that is better than mine. The more I look at newer models, the more I value the one I have.

    No, just a really good experience of my L322. The 8 speed box makes such a difference and since the 4.4 is more economical, by quite a bit, than the 3.6 and so much more powerful, why would you compromise on a 3.6 that will cost more to run in the long run?

    My P38 is leaking water on my feet while I'm driving

    I was taking some liberties with my description, but no, the p38 is part of the family, like a mistress that my wife now accepts even if she isn’t happy about it! I thought you’d see the funny side of “immaculate condition’ and EAS in occasional working order, but really that’s true of most...

    nope.

    3.0L TDV6 or 4.4 TDV8

    4.4TDV8 every time. If you go for the Vogue SE, ideally with a few upgrades, for example, the Harmon Kardon Sound upgrade, recognisable by the built in video screens in the front seat head rests, and if you can an autobiography upgrade then even better. 8 speed gear box is brilliant and you’ll...

    I’ve got one you can have. Immaculate condition, (nearly), one careful owner, had lots of maintenance, EAS in occasional working order….

    Eye Watering MOT cost!

    I figure that pretty much anything on an L322 costs £800, and that although there is an ‘economy of scale’ for doing several things at once, the relevant part of that express is scale, not economy!

    Eye Watering MOT cost!

    I spent a similar amount on mine not long ago for the same kind of repairs.

    L322 Serious off road challenge

    That’s what I thought!

    L322 Serious off road challenge

    I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry. Will he get stuck? He doesn’t know what his mode selector is for, doesn’t know what his height selector is and i don’t think he really knows what the high/low gear box ratios are. He certainly does not know how to select Low. But he’s serious, he is going...

    L322 wing mirror

    I’ll race you on ebay. Same thing just happened to me, best part of £800 for a new unit from JLR - but that does not include the body painted covers!

    Other Ooh!!

    I hope mine sails through, she is in for her MOT at 9;00am tomorrow. However, more like 170k and I have had a LOT of problems, though some of them have been my own fault😏
