    Hello from a Range Rover dreamer!

    “Good point well made” as the saying goes. If the revs exceed 2000 rpm you’re in average 14 mpg territory. Add in some steep climbs and 100 litres of E10 will last less than 250 miles for sure. I did check the mpg while in rolling traffic through York and got 4.3 mpg displayed. She still puts a...

    Hello from a Range Rover dreamer!

    Hello and welcome, as a fellow SC owner I am somewhat biased in my advice but if you can manage the 12 to 23 MPG then enjoy. Best starting point set your budget with a few grand kept back for the first year potential surprises and look closely at the best condition and history you can find...

    A swede with a brit

    Welcome to LZ, I completely agree the SC is indeed a very good hunting car, although, currently hunting for petrol in Yorkshire. Enjoy your Westminster and rest assured the various noises will disappear one by one but possibly only to be replaced by other new noises. The beauty of the engine you...

    L322 A sound that shouldn't be there (?) (with sound file).

    Plus one. I spent a few days trying to resolve a similar issue on my wife’s car. It’s a rotating pulse so the best way to find it is trace the noise by listening to each rotating component. It could just be the belt tensioner! At first I thought it sounded like the compressor clutch trying to...

    Great link thank you, mine is without the wipers on headlamps but I think between yours and Jon’s information I’ll be able to get the job done. I’ll post any info that I uncover. Tricky.

    Hi Jon, I need to get my 2005 Headlamps out for some much needed pampering so need to remove the bumper also I think. Where are your pages from please so I can get access if possible as they look like the sort I could do with. Many thanks in advance. Tricky.

    L322 Rear Screen Washer Leak Resolved

    Hi all, wanted to share my solution to the dreaded rear screen wash leaking out of the wiper motor body. Having tried, unsuccessfully, on both my L322’s to fix leaking from this grossly over engineered system of delivering fluid to the rear window without spending £100+ on a new motor I have...

    Hi, sorry I don’t have the answers for you but hopefully someone else can help as I have noticed similar issues also an intermittent lumpy feedback through the steering wheel. Mine is in for MoT today so may get a report on that if significant enough. Cheers Tricky.

    Lets see your rims

    Morning All, just returned to standard 21” Supercharged wheels for the winter, save the black 22” rims for the warmer months. MoT tomorrow so had a wash too. Tricky :)

    L322 Non starter, water ingress

    Hi great news it’s back on the road but I agree with the dehumidifier advice as I have three permanently on rotation in the glovebox with the fuse cover off, the cabin and the NSR where the Bluetooth, sat nav etc live. That was the way I cleared my brake light on and weird electrical gremlins...

    Range rover 2.7td v6 oil seal

    Hi All, I wanted to add to Mark’s comment about the Loctite on the outside edge. Make sure it’s fitted straight as it could be very difficult to remove again if it leaks. Use a retaining product not a studlock grade as they cure slower and deliver a more durable seal. Good luck, Tricky.

    Heavy power steering

    L322 L405 market - I’m sure I’m in the same boat as a lot of you l322 owners?

    Two pictures say it all for me. The first a screenshot from a dealer website the other my son snapped of our 16 year old L322 that’s bought and paid for. We’re all drawn to new cars but at £90k a new Range Rover doesn’t make any sense so we look at the used ones. Unfortunately, as stated these...

    L322 This may cause nausea..

    One could take the view that PSA are obviously using top quality kit but I think the opposite is view that JLR have gone budget parts is more realistic :( Tricky

    Hi Mark, just wanted to say well done we’ve all been there. I learned never stop looking for the answer from my dad when it comes to motors. Have a great time. Tricky :)

    A/V off, Help!!!

    Good morning and thanks for the update. There is a fibre optic loop connector you can by if you don’t replace the Bluetooth module just to make it more permanent. Check on the bay. Cheers Tricky :cool:
