    L322 Bluetooth

    Ok, it might be better to fit an aftermarket bluetooth kit then. Thanks for the advice.

    L322 Bluetooth

    If I want to add bluetooth capability (to connect my iPhone), to my 2003 L322 V8 Vogue, what do I need to buy? Is it as easy as finding the bluetooth ECU/Module and plugging it in?

    L322 Auxiliary Heater - New Owner

    I recently purchased a 2003 V8 Vogue L322 and it has the "Auxiliary Ventilation System" I set the timer one evening, and when I got into the car the following morning, 20 minutes after the timer had been set, the blowers where indeed blowing. But the air coming out is cold! I have seen posts...

    I tracked down Mirrtzi on eBay and he replied quickly, just waiting to see if he has one..... Thanks for the contact.

    L322 New Owner - TMC doesn't work on Satnav

    OK, the hunt is on to find a MK4 version, how do I tell on eBay if the unit is MK3 or MK4? Does anyone know of a reputable supplier that I can get one from? Anyone selling one?

    L322 New Owner - TMC doesn't work on Satnav

    It looks like I have the MK3 version. If I can find a MK4 version, is it as simple as just swapping the unit in the back nearside wheel well? What's the going rate for a MK4 version?

    L322 New Owner - TMC doesn't work on Satnav

    It looks like TMC isn't going to be an option then. I have looked around on the web and discovered that TMC is going to cease as a service in the next 12 months. So upgrading the Sat Nav unit in the boot would still only get me a few more months of TMC. I'll manage without it then...... Thanks...

    L322 New Owner - TMC doesn't work on Satnav

    The car is a 2003 model V8 Vogue, how would I be able to tell if it is an original version? Would you happen to know who operates the subscription service?

    L322 New Owner - TMC doesn't work on Satnav

    Hello Just bought the L322 and I can't seem to get the TMC to work when Satnav is running. TMC is displayed in white, but the annual says it has to be green to show that it is receiving the signal. Any ideas on how to make this work? Paul

    L322 Advice

    Went and had a look at the Range Rover yesterday, had a good look round, the car is in mint condition. No electrical errors whatsoever, everything works as it should, suspension rises and falls quickly. Can't fault it, which means I am going to have to buy it! That will mean that my trusty...

    L322 Advice

    I'm going to look at and test drive an L322 tomorrow. It's a 4.4 V8, 65,0000 miles, full dealer service history, one owner. What do I i need to check for (I know P38s well, but not L322s)? And advice gratefully received.

    P38A 4l or 4.6? Manual or Auto?

    I have a 4.6, it is fantastic, plenty of pulling power when towing a large twin axle caravan. It has a stronger gearbox than the 4.0 as far as I'm aware. I recently got my 1.5 ton tracked Kubota digger stuck in a wet field, the 4.6 pulled it out easily. This doesn't mean the 4.0 wouldn't have...

    P38A Forum Layout

    Not happy with this forum layout at all. I used to have mine set on P38A so that I could go straight to that type of vehicle and only see posts for that type of vehicle. I don't have any other type of Range Rover, can't help anyone with another type of Range Rover.... Why is such a simple...

    P38A "Chuffing" Exhaust Manifold

    No heat wrapping, didn't know it was an alternative, the heat shields went back together just fine and they are in good condition too.

    P38A "Chuffing" Exhaust Manifold

    Just a bit of info for you if you haven't done this job before. It took me 12 hours in total !!! I have had the "chuffing" exhaust manifold noise for quite a while now and finally, I managed to get a pair of new manifolds for the right price. What a pain of a job they are to change! The left...

    P38A EAS Valve Block

    UPDATE: It seems that my valve block is not at fault, having looped out the block and things seeming to be OK, I left the vehicle for a couple of days and the front o/s corner went down! The fault lies with the T-pieces that were supplied with the emergency inflation kit that I had fitted -...

    P38A EAS Valve Block

    Time to replace my EAS valve block. I have done the seal kit on the valve block, but still it let's me down! Airsprings replaced Air pipes replaced I disconnected the 4 pipes from the valve block and fitted tyre valves to each, filled with air to get me home towing a large twin axle caravan...

    Death wobble!?

    I have replaced allsorts on mine, it made it much better, but it still happens occasionally. I have a theory, but it is only a theory. If a non- return valve in the air suspension system was faulty, could it cause the sort of air movement that would create this extreme shaking - like...

    Electrical Problem I need some help please

    It seems to take about 15 seconds on mine to swap from high to low ratio and you do see the orange cogs on the dash whilst it is in progress. If the cogs don't go away and the beep still beeps, there must be a fault somewhere. You can pick up guaranteed second hand ones on eBay, I got one for...

    Electrical Problem I need some help please

    On the transfer box problem, could it be that it was left in low ratio when last used and that high ratio has been selected whilst the engine was off and battery flat. You could try putting it back in low ratio, starting up, move the stick across to high ratio remaining in neutral until the...
