Hi all, I've got a 2002 L322 TD6 with 118k on the clock. I've had it around 18 months and it has always used a very small amount of coolant, I'd top it up every 2 or 3 weeks with probably 200ml of fluid and it's been fine. Never been able to find a leak when I or others have looked for one...

Ok just got back from my free battery test at halfords... Very helpful chap actually and I take back the numpty comment. Their battery tester shows the battery is fine! My new alternator fitted last week charges at 14v with no load but as soon as I load it the reading drops to 12.4v... The...

That's good to know! I'll get one ordered tomorrow Still going to let the halfords numptys do a quick test for me just on the off chance the battery is fine and it's my new alternator playing up

Actually no I take it back. I've found a better one that is cheaper on Battery Megastore http://www.batterymegastore.co.uk/product/MF31-1000/ It only lists this against the P38 not the L322, however when I checked all of the dimensions against the battery listed for the L322 they are the...

Ok I've been searching around and this is the best I can find on the net so far... I see lots of good reviews from Disco owners but not from L322 so not sure it will even fit yet. Will have to measure up when I get home C31-1000 Numax Car Battery 12V 120Ah - Car Batteries - Numax Car Batteries

Even for a simple battery test? Can't seem to find a Bosch S5 with 120ah. Where did you get yours from? Thanks

Hi all, My alternator gave up on me a week ago and I had a new one fitted, I think the battery is goosed too now as I'm starting to get signs that it is weakening again after a full charge last week with a CTEK deep charger and I've been driving the car with the new alternator all week yet it...

Yes it seems so! Ok great, well that is my mind at rest that the battery low voltage was the cause. My final job now is to relace the rear wiper motor. I have a new one on order then that concludes my first list of things to fix!! Sure it won't be long before something else breaks though...

:laugh: Just to update... my alternator died completely at the beginning of the week. Since getting a new alternator and battery fitted the parking sensors have worked fine! So either it is a coincidence and a loose connection on the sensors is temporarily ok, or the new battery has somehow...

No towbar on mine at present, ok will have a proper look underneath for the plug in that case thanks for the advice

Just to add to this thread... (especially my comment about the car being in full working order) The alternator failed completely on the car last night (Hippo was correct earlier in the thread) and it had to be recovered. So the flickering of the battery light earlier in the week must've been...

Ok thanks I'll give that multi plug a check then, need to get the bumper off at weekend to take a proper look I assume it must be something like that as a sensor failure wouldn't stop the other sensors from ticking, and at present there doesn't seem to be any ticking at all

I'll have another go but I was listening as hard as I could, with my ear next to the sensors and the engine wasn't running so I would've expected to hear them. I'll get it plugged into my friends diagnostic machine and see what it comes up with. Thinking back to just after I bought the...

Would be if they worked yeah! :frown: Obviously they aren't really a must have, but I'd like to fix them if I can

Yes that's right, continuous beep for a few seconds and flashing light

Hi all, My parking sensors have stopped working then started again.... Then stopped again. I've been searching on here and saw the advice that you should activate the sensors and listed to each one for a ticking noise. I've done this but none of the sensors seem to be ticking at all! I...

Hi Just wondering if the grease fix helped stop your squeaking? I have the same squeak when I turn the wheel left or right, not when the telescopic part moves in or out. So keeping my fingers crossed that it's something simple and not the start of major steering problems. My squeak sounds...

Ok thats good to know, thanks. I'm using a CTEK MX25 which is one of the their best chargers and I made sure I connected before attaching to mains. Didn't see any sparks or anything and all seems well. I think I'm just in shock that the car is in full working order at the moment, I'm actually...

Yeah fingers crossed! Thanks again for your help

Ok sat in the car for 15 minutes and the fan does go off, so the tissue I used in the 'tissue test' was clearly just stuck to the plastic rather than being sucked in by the fan!! :rolleyes: I'll just keep my eye on it and try to test the alternator at weekend
