Generally you wedge it in (as said by many), and then reverse the big 'ammer !!

plus those will actually work. The Wabco thing is for trucks, and we all know we are not one of them !!

aah, so RCL = CDL, and RLK = Keyswitch ??

Those tables are confusing. Think of the door outstations as just extensions of the BECM. The BECM SID states the door latch detection is Edge triggered. Clearly this refers to the outstations, because the BECM gets serial data from them, although I suspect the BECM also needs to know the CDL...

Edited mine - it was a lowercase L. Now edit your quote !!

VIN on dash ?? Try looking it up, or ask LR for the build sheet..

Do you have one of Marty's FoB filters fitted ? Both mine have them, but one refuses to do the auto window close on the fob, but works on the key. The one with a newer filter works fine !! Marty did mention they improved the code over time though.

I'm assuming it's a late L322 at 2012 ? First check is, does the compressor produce enough pressure to toggle the pressure switch. (I think on later systems it's around 200psi). If not consider a rebuild kit & DIY it. I did a later Mercedes compressor for my bench, and it was actually...

Key switch should toggle 0v-12v when turning the key, i.e. 12V with key in centre, and ground when you turn the key. CDL should be 12V when door is locked (switch open), and Ground when door is unlocked. This way the BECM knows if you are turning the key right or left, and the door...

Definitely stay away from the one with no pictures !! Look at several, and do insurance quotes & MOT History checks before you even visit (I usually avoid dealers that hide the number plate). Then test drive for at least 10-20 miles on local roads & either dual carriage way, or motorway...

or as you have the starter motor out of the way, use a pry bar or large screwdirver in the flywheel cogs.

I agree . . it's LR Red.

Definitely rotate the motor & then use the screwdriver alternately on opposite sides of the crank. Also make sure you have loosened the grub screw sufficently. It will not hurt to use some penetrating fluid, as long as you clean it thoroughly afterwards.

I used a lower cost one from Cats2U on one of my P38's. The emissions were vastly improved, but only just in spec. MOT man passed it though as the cats were obviously new !!

Maybe the early BECM are different to mine ? He has a 1995, but I tested it on my 1998. Another possibility is the GEMS ECU could have the security disabled ? (There is an LR bulletin on how to do it)

I had the seat fuse issue on my passenger seat. It would randomly blow the fuse even with nobody sitting on it. Disconnected the lumbar pump wiring, and now everything else works without blowing the fuse.

Couple of corrections. 1) Kieth is correct about the EKA, but (sorry Keith), only for the diesel. On GEMS disabling the EKA just prevents you from entering it, but does not stop it being required if only using the key. Yes I've tried it on mine to be sure !! (re-enabled it afterwards) 2)...

The gap between the metal pipes & matrix is definitely at an angle in that picture. Does look mis-aligned to me ?

You will also need a pair of reducers to go between the matrix hoses & the engine hoses. Can't remember the size, but there's threads on here with the correct size. Nissens 70220 has 17mm fittings. I think the engine bay needs 19mm ?
