Interesting, but possibly beyond what my pension will run to unless there's finance available. Unless there's a half deent on out there for about £7k somewhere..

That's the attitude I'm having to take these days! As much as I hate wasting things, one has to be practical about it. I've wasted loads of money over the years restoring old buses with a view to earning something when I retired (7 years ago), but still having to rebuild engines for them at vast...

Wow, what mpg does that do??

With all the trouble I've had with my recently acquired L322 2010 Vogue, documented on here under "infotainment", 110 Autologic faults and gearbox problems, I contacted the seller who offered a refund or get me another car. I'm looking for another diesel Vogue, 2010 or newer,, any particular one...

What sort of mileage has the car done? I had a 52 reg L322 from new and it must have been a Friday Afternoon cr, it was always going wrong. I had the gearbox rebuilt at least twice. The first time I cn't remember what happened to it at about 140,000 miles which I'm told is good for the ZF box...

But LEDs in the passenger saloon just does NOT look right! Not on a 1950s bus. I've heard someone does actually do an LED replacement with a 2" globe, but at about £25 a bulb that's a fair bit of dosh. The last batch of those bulbs made all went short life, the globes came loose in a relatively...

Thanks, I'll tell my partner to get that cheked when the car goes in for a service. I had the same problem with my 08 Vogue!

I need real light bulbs for my old buses! 24 volt 2" globe SBC.

Thanks, that sounds like a sensible idea. what surprises me is how well the battery, original Land Rover, seems to be holding up, it's never been changed since the car was made! Now in its eleventh year! My first L322, the battery was the most reliable bit of the car, lasting for 9 years and...

Not insulting at all, I can't actually sse where anything is as it's a mass of pipes under the bonnet! I'm used to deling with old buses where everything is (usually) visible and get-at able. The only belt I could see part of is on the left side of the engine, seems to be driving. pump of some...

Not sure bout that, checked the cr this afternoon with an old-fashioned drop tester. Before starting battery volts was 12.8v. 10 seconds with resistive load on bounced back from 12 to 12.6. Meter said battery is good. Starting pulled the meter down to the "bad" sector for a second or two as one...

Join the Campaign for Real Light Bulbs!

I'd suggest that's a 12 volt relay under that tape, hence the fizzing and clicking. Remove the tape and you'll find a bad connection in there. Maybe damp has got in there, a common problem in that area.

Yes, I was quite surprised. He may even get a newr or lowere milage car. He obviously earned well from selling my 2010 sport that went in PX and the value of my 08 Vogue with the fkt engine.

No, he's going to replace this one with one that's mechanically and electrically fit for purpose. It's chepaer for him to do that than repair a gearbox .

My partner has the 63 reg Disco van, V6 (I think) 268bhp, runs nicely, but she noted the battery light on sometimes. We were out in it yesterday I noticed the light on when the car was running. We left it a few hours and went back to it, as he unlocked the car the red light was still on. I...

As it's only on full lock, could it be contaminated power steering oil? Or a defective pressure relief valve in the PS system? Maybe the wheels touching the chassis/body on full lock? Just realised there were more posts on page 2 when I typed this. something to bear in mind thoug.

Happy ending, the dealer has offered to get me a replacement car within a week. :)

A possible happy end to the story, the dealer has offered to get me a car that is mechanically and electrically sound with a week. Sounds reasonable to me.

I wonder what the jury will make of this lot! Autologic report.
