    L322 Tyre talk

    Hi and ditto, for my sins I run 22” bands in the warmer months and switch to 20” Scorpions before the end of October. Pirelli have definitely hit the mark with the P Zero it’s very quiet and super grippy on the tarmac rain or shine. Off road I can’t testify but would have thought you would be...

    2007 L322 tdv8

    Hi John, I’m not an electrical engineer but as a mechanical engineer and L322 owner I’d say check every connector on the rear entertainment system units for corrosion or damage especially if the car has aftermarket tints on the rear windows because any water dripping down onto these will eat...

    L322 Removal of driver's side contour seat switch panel

    Hi and ditto, those fingers at the back will almost certainly break or bend the wrong way at some point of the process but there are some second hand panels with switch attached on the bay for £100+ So if you’re up for a challenge have a go. For me I’m of a mind that if one button is upside down...

    Advice needed for a complete Land Rover newbie - Range Rover vs Range Rover Sport

    Hi and well done you’re now on the rollercoaster, pictures before you make it dirty. Make sure everything is on point before Box Hill run would be wise. Cheers Tricky :)

    Hi I fitted LED bulbs to the boot lamp and tailgate, the have a lower drain, are brighter than the original festoon bulbs and cost less than a second battery. :cool: Tricky.

    Advice needed for a complete Land Rover newbie - Range Rover vs Range Rover Sport

    Hi and welcome to LandyZone, if you’re looking for a Range Rover you have made a good first step here but be warned we’re all pretty well one sided towards Range Rovers not Sports. That said each to their own. Best advice don’t accept anything a dealer tells you, by the best condition and...

    L322 tdv8

    Hi just to agree with the comments about the battery and also waking up the electrical systems. If you unlock the car but don’t start it it helps to turn the ignition switch to position II then off again that will turn off the screen and also by pressing and holding the interior light main...

    L322 Compressor

    Hi Graham, Looks like your compressor needs a rebuild as you have no output. You can choose to do it yourself there are kits on the bay, alternatively, get a reconditioned assembly complete, plug and play solution. If you are going to rebuild don't forget the air moisture chamber needs to be...

    Follow me home, turn on?

    Just looked in my 2005 handbook and it’s called “Headlamp Courtesy Delay”. What the hell kind of description is that anyway. I think “Headlamp Delay” would be fine, that way there would no looking over the shoulder for stalkers etc. Tricky. :p

    P38A Trench foot..

    As someone who has had the rear screen of my old company car replaced 4 times by Autoglass because they couldn’t line it up properly with the roof or the rear pillars you have my sympathy. Don’t let it distract you from doing what you do to the best of your ability even if your struggling to...

    Follow me home, turn on?

    It’s all the same thing, just a different name. Mrs Tricky has it on her Citroen and you simply turn it on or off via the media menu. If it’s on then every time the headlights are on when the ignition is turned off the headlights stay on for a selected number of seconds. Why Land Rover have to...

    Follow me home, turn on?

    Hi, just to say that my 2005 L322 fitted with Auto Lights is as you describe, when you turn off the ignition flash the indicator stalk to turn on “follow me home lights”. On vehicles without Auto Lights it is an automatic function when the ignition is turned off while light switch is still in...

    L322 Rear Seat belt leak

    Thanks for your post, I’m struggling to get the outer D Pillar trim off, it may have to get busted. I’m trying to avoid stripping out interior trim but may have no option. Going to try the hosepipe test today on the bumper mounting plate seals as they are in the right place and look a bit...

    L322 Rear Seat belt leak

    If only I could just change the boot seal but it’s absolutely not the case on mine. See this pic, the water trail comes down from the D pillar behind all the media kit emerging at the boot floor. Parts of the outer and interior trim will have to come off at some point to find the leak path. We...

    Great job, you should take time to enjoy that showroom finish before it gets muddy again. Tricky :cool:

    L322 Rear Seat belt leak

    Hi, you and I are on a similar quest. I have again gone to the car this morning to find 2cm of water in the boot. I find it inconceivable that my leak is coming via the sunroof as it all looks very dry up top but I need to pull the trim to see if I have a body seam or glass to body leak. I’ll be...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Been out Xmas shopping today, sadly spoiled by the discovery of 2cm of water in the boot. This is war, it’s coming down the D pillar N/S for sure and possibly also slightly less O/S so all the trim is getting removed this weekend to get this sorted. We’ve only had a few days rain so it won’t...
