    L322 Instrument Cluster Query

    Hi just a quick query to ask how you got on with this ? I have a faulty fuel gauge (even on self-test the needle only goes to just over 1/2). I also have a whole spare cluster, although pulled from a Diesel (I’m petrol V8). Are these hot-swappable ? And what coding would be needed ? -I have...

    P38A Outstanding Recalls

    Hi, I know I’ve been busy with the L322 of late and have a take of jobs to do to get the P38 back on the road but I’ve just been told that there are a couple of outstanding recall campaigns on the beastie. Do do A255 or A359 mean anything to any of you ? (Other than them being toads somewhere...

    L322 Fuel Gauge Callibration

    Hi, just a quickie, I’m sure I had seen a discussion about this but I can’t find it now so I wondered whether any of you fine folks might know the answer or be able to point me in the right direction. My fuel gauge is faulty, well, it’s ‘offset’. When full it reads 1/4 of a tank falling to...

    L322 2003 HSE radio connectors

    I got a second unit from the bay for £20 -it was reported as working but no display. When I opened it the LCD ribbon cable was disconnected -but to avoid any potential radio code issues I took the front panel from It with the buttons and volume knob and swapped it onto my unit Connected it...

    L322 2003 HSE radio connectors

    In answer to my own question…. I think the connector is for the central speaker in the dash which a previous owner may have removed from my car but which I can restore tomorrow :) All the buttons and the clock / information system / CD multi changer now work :) Happy days

    L322 2003 HSE radio connectors

    Hi, I’ve a 2003 L322 which has had an ‘iffy’ radio since I got it. Some of the buttons don’t work and switching it off causes the clock To reset to 12:00 ! I have a donor unit and was going to swap the control board for the buttons across in case it’s a physical issue (some of them work, some...

    Hi, Thought I’d update this and ask for (yet) more help and advice… The great and the good tried everything with this and ended up having to smash the drivers window. I’ve done the lock repair and the key now physically turns the barrel -but this doesn’t open or lock the doors -I wonder if...

    L322 jacking point

    I seem to have a similar issue, the O/S sill has turned to a strange reddish/brown powder when I wasn’t looking, despite having somehow passed an MOT only. A few weeks ago. The advice is…, well the sensible advice is to walk away from this money pit but i feel a really odd sense of...

    L322 Does the L322 use an EKA code ?

    I suspect I know the answer but, getting increasingly agitated, does the L322 have an EKA code like the P38 does ? Not sure it would help me as I’m completely locked out and looking at locksmith / house brick options Thanks again Bob

    L322 2003 remote locking locked !

    Hi, I’ve a 2003 L322 which has periodically shown some reticence with its remote locking. I’ve always had a ‘key battery low’ warning -despite brand new batteries in the fob, and it’s always just worked. Occasionally it would lock some doors and half-lock others but a lock / unlock cycle would...

    L322 Safe jacking rear -sills too rusted to support

    Hi folks, Probably a common problem but here goes… What is the safest way to jack a 2003 L332 to change a rear wheel if the ‘normal’ jacking point is unsuitable ? Is it safe to jack under the lower wishbone ? -or does this risk EAS damage ? Is there anywhere else I should try ...

    L322 EAS Inactive after puncture -Easy Reset ?

    It’s a 2003 -so it’s basically an X5 -I’m not even sure how much Gap IID can do with it -it seems limited to reading EAS data but not being able to control it according to their product matrix -Although I’m sure someone on here will know :)

    Is that the RSW (RWS ?) beastie ? Happily I managed to persuade the helpful AA guy to scan for faults and clear them and it’s all good now (for now !) 🤞🏻

    L322 INPA Cable pin-out

    Why doesn’t that surprise me 🤣 You know, I kinda like the ‘honesty’ of the P38… you know the deal you’re making when you drive one, the L322 pretends to be all Kinds of fancy !

    L322 INPA Cable pin-out

    Hi, I’ve had a look around and it seems like the BMW INPA software might be a good ‘first fix’ option for a 2003 L323. I do have an ODB2 / Serial adaptor I made for my P38 to use with RSW EAS software. I read, though that there may be a different pin-out for the INPA suite. Does anyone know...
