yes all this started because i was going to inject the sill cavity and get some rust protection on the outside, unfortunately i was a bit late, my passenger side dosent seem to have gone but i'm getting the guy to check it while he's at it and get some cavity protection in there. the guy i'm...

ah right thought as much, just spoken to my local indie and they have put me in touch with a guy who can hopefully fabricate the panel & sort it.

has anybody successfully had their sills repaired? i think only one of mine has gone, but i noticed it this morning while i was trying to remove the plastic cover i noticed one of the clips just pulled out, i stopped removing the cover there! and proded with a screwdriver and noticed it was just...

with some of the crap released today i wish they were deaf (mind listening to it they could be )

bmw just quoted me around £233 inc vat

it maybe worth calling your local bmw dealer and asking the price, they will ask for chassis number etc, i always say to them well it's actually for a bmw era range rover and tell them what i need if there isn't a part number and they are usually more than happy to help.

a lot of things a deemed as lifetime warranty but they generally mean the lifetime of the item, or the lifetime of the vehicle in some cases, personally i would read the small print. but when it comes to batteries the l322 does prefer slightly better batteries than the run of the mill halfords...

you can add bluetooth streaming to the stock system, vist the carphonics website and view the bm54 upgrades one of which is adding aux & bluetooth to the standard bm54. anyhow if you do go down the rip out route the stock front door speakers are a 3 way syatem, bass in the bottom, mid range...

definately, the blue tint are the standard heated only glass, at the cost of the mirror glass, you could buy a complete mirror off ebay, but it's a gamble to if you get the right one.

yes mine is heated & auto dim or electrochromatic as they like to call it, mine started as a small crack on the window side of the mirror, followed by the mirror gaining what looks like a brown tint but now the crack is spreading daily. i was lucky and did an ebay search for bmw x5 auto dim...

thanks KDS i've looked into it tonight and found i have the chromatic (auto dim) glass, didn't fancy the £200+ price tag for a bit of glass, anyway bit more digging turned out bmw x5 e53 has same mirrors as the l322, and i picked up a working used glass for £57.

hi guys does anyone know the correct part number for the rh side door mirror glass? mine is a 2003 vogue, there are loads of part numbers on lr cat so not sure which i have. if it's any help mine has a slight crack which is getting worse by the day, the mirror has gone from clear to a almost...

freelander is a different pcd to anything else, but i think l322 and discovery are the same

saint you are a star thank you very much i'll pm details over now.

Well after closer inspection it’s nothing major, water bypass hose from the expansion tank decided to move & rub against a pulley so sprayed coolant up the front of the engine, got one on order so another little job to sort

so it lasted all of 2 days! got another leak down the front of the engine somewhere now, permission to swear at it loudly!

if you have that would be brill, just let me know. it's no real hardship at the moment but it is something i need to fix before 'cough cough' summer arrives.

so all the coolant leaks are fixed, new standard stat, and all running good apart from the hevac unit. so i noticed i had a few heater problems last week, i set the temps to minimum cranked up the air con and LH side is slightly warmer than the RH, i really noticed it if i turn the centre vent...

That’s what I thought too

yep they kept it under pressure and started it up and it was leaking not a huge leak but enough to start spashing it around, so looks like the water pump seals are failing under pressure, new pump going on tomorrow so should be back to normal. i am blaming myself for the water pump problem as...
