    ZF5HP24 Fluid drain and Filter Change....

    I have not been able to provoke that lock up resonance in any way since the oil change. The box works as well now as it ever did. It tells me anyone with that filled for life oil still in there at high mieage should consider the change.

    ZF5HP24 Fluid drain and Filter Change....

    I did the oil change pretty much along the tutorial of Saint.V8 Thanks for the tip on bending the tabs to clear the oil pan. I was able to get slightly over 6 litres in there. Back from a test drive I am happy to report the previous torque converter resonance at lockup is all gone ! My gearbox...

    Aux fuel burning heater on L322 MkIII RR

    I read somewhere that ALL diesel equipped Vogues come with the diesel powered heater. I have not verified this. It sits under the battery tray if you have it. My petrol 2003 Vogue might not have the heater. The Auxilary Ventilation menu entry is on my control panel but I assume this does not...

    Expensive DSP Stereo Problems In A Vogue?... Aftermarket Unit....IT CAN BE DONE!!

    A common problem with the DSP (Power amp/audio effects processor) is that it is subject to moisture back in the left hand rear compartment. It is common that there is some water ingress from the rear quarter window so electrical connectors can suffer. In my Vogue 2003 the power supply +12V...

    Are viscous Couplings (fan) interchanable??

    I found out the hard way (just buying the first coupling that showed up) My 1993 Range Rover have the 11 blade fan and the ERR4996 have a larger thread mount. It is even threaded in the other direction...:confused: I now know I need the ETC1260.

    20" rrsport wheels

    I run 265/50-20 Nokian studded Hakkapelitta 5 snow tires on the 9.5" RR Sport Stormer rims. This gives exactly the outer wheel diameter wanted for the L322 and fits with sufficient margin. Proportions and width look just right with that combination. I recommend the same size for summer tires...

    Tailgate letters / stickers

    jnr77; Count me in if you decide to have "Vogue LSE" manufactured. I have the Mosswood paint and the letters are in a kind of brownish color.

    Range rover classic abs fitted or not?

    Having recently aquired a Vogue LSE I dashed into the snow landscape on M&S tires for Christmas without having examined the vehicle to more than a limited extent. I was going to boast to parents and brother "see how the Range handles traction" and it spun like a helpless heavy colossus on the...

    L322 - Programming new key to the ignition

    Regarding the topic of docking remotes so that they become useful for remotely locing/unlocking doors there is a procedure for doing this without dealer support. But coding in a new key to be recognized by the ignition switch is a different matter.

    Not my luck today !

    Check coolant level is a typical sign of a leaking radiator. As the car goes past 100000 kms a radiator swap is often needed. Else it can be you originally had a 200 marked expansion tank cap and replaced it with a 140 cap (which has become prescribed as standard although some cars do not run...

    changing door handles on L322

    Sounds good, I was worried I would have to wrestle with air bag disabling and such ?. I have a complete kit of replacement handles 4xFRH500010 (handles) + 1xCWL 500010LPO (drivers door lock casing) maybe I will come up with the courage to get going. However this more elaborate detailing on...

    L322 Entertainment System Dead !!!!

    My assuption on the numbering was correct. Pin 8 in the DSP 15-pin connector was broken off. This happens because the positive 12V pin is prone to corrosion due to electrical phenomenas in relation to moisture. The pin then binds in the connector and when the owner attempts to pull the...

    Dsp amplifier

    Now installed and DSP is back on screen, audio is fine. Now only the Mk3 nav remains to restore, I have an Ebay unit coming in.

    Dsp amplifier

    Some photos from the DSP resurrection. I decided to add a new 12V cable from within the case. I found a wide enough 12V PCB trace and brushed off some laquer. I soldered a nice blob there and on the heavy gauge wire end, then took great care to solder these together with a fluid solder joint...

    Dsp amplifier

    I seem to be living in a parallell universe but two months delayed. Pin 8 broken off in 15 pin connector (+12V), was all corroded. The MK3 sat nav seems dead too, worked some weeks ago but has since suffered both from some water ingress and flat battery during starting attempts so this could...

    L322 Entertainment System Dead !!!!

    I got the same on my 2003. A DSP power pin has snapped from heavy corrosion so I will look at adding a wire from inside. It seems my Mk3 nav went bad as well from the moisture. How is the pin numbering on the 15 pin DSP heavy gauge socket ? Looking at that picture as seen from the DSP, is...

    L322 Air Suspension Inactive

    I got the EAS Activate plug and was able to reset the AIR SUSP. INACTIVE status of my L322. It is now 200 kms since it happened last time. The fault code read out by the plug is: "Reservoir Pressure static on filling". What would you suggest I look at ?
