    L322 suspension + GAP tool

    THANKS for the info. I got the vehicle for about 2.5 grand just over 2 years ago. I wanted an old Defender (for a bit more money) but we did not have time to bit for it. The L322 broke on the 1st journey. 200 miles to Dorset and the gearbox went. Another 600 miles and the suspension went. But I...

    L322 suspension + GAP tool

    I have a 2002 L322 Range Rover which has issues. Here's the thing I am struggling with the GAP IID tool. I am not sure if there is a way to reset the whole system. Also by using the GAP and an iCarsoft tool I wonder if I have confused the Range Rover computers into providing misleading readings...

    2002 L322 Range Rover suspension malfunction

    THANKS I will probably invest in a dedicated diagnostic tool as this Autel now won't read or clear the fault. The nose of the car is -100% and too low to get over small kerbs or sleeping policemen, and the rear is +100%. Anyone had that happen? Is it a valve or an ECU problem? The car has...

Not sure of exact cause yet, but having kit like this will make life easier. The car is riddled with issues and I hope to update posts with my challenges...

    2002 L322 Range Rover suspension malfunction

    I have a cheap Carly diagnostic tool which is not pulling up the fault code and can't reset the ecu for anything it can't read. Do you know any low price diagnostic tools which will work on the Range Rover l322 and most other cars? At the garage I go to (2 weeks back) they used an old windows...

    Air suspension fail warning appeared on a 350 mile run home. Shortly after the suspension fail warning, the compressor stopped running and the dash board suspension ride height toggle switch light went out. The front of the car fully sunk, but the rear either stayed on normal level or possibly...

    L322 2002 V8 gearbox problem

    I just bought the 2002 L322 two days ago to get to Devon. V8 BMW engine and auto box. It got here no problem, but on arrival broke down when we tried to climb a steep hill. 1st won't engage on an incline. Low ratio will not work either. The vehicle will drive on a flat surface. The engine...
