The new (to me) 4.4 has been complaining; "EGR Flow Insufficient". So I decided to look into that and while I was there to remove the donut intake and inspect the rubbers to see if they were the cause of my sporadic low boost pressure issue. There was definitely a little evidence of EGR...

Thanks, that's some interesting insight. I realised that I have a whole spare car currently as I haven't sold it and decided to try the unit from that in mine. I thought it would also tell me if I could use a different prefix. I swapped it into my current car and hey presto, everything works...

Do any of you fine folk know what the difference is in the Parking Aid Modules? Or have you fitted one with a slightly different part number? Mine has the forbidden coffee in it! It's like it's. not even trying any longer which is disappointing as most of the parts are still there...

Did an oil service and filters on the new (to me) 4.4 and it went through the MOT yesterday, usual advisories for subframe bushes that I will do on the rear and brake pipes while I'm there because that will come up soon enough if I don't. Got a friend coming to do the perished CV gaiters this...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204825348126 Because I am an absolute genius, I've spent almost 2 years getting my L322 to a really good place and being a reliable car which I love. In fact, so deep is my love for it that I saw a shiny (but broken) 4.4 TDV8 and bought that last week, having a pair...

That's the worst part of the job isn't it, especially on the driveway. I can either have it on the floor or I can tighten the bolts! I use a bottle jack under the bottom ball joint and when it starts to lift the car off the axle stand that's about the same as having it on the floor and then...

Did a bit of work on the new (to me) 4.4 today. It has had an alarming rattle on the front end and if you brake sharply you could feel the wheels coming back to meet you! Radius arm bushes were shot to bits but the bottom ball joint on the driver's side was a whole new level of destroyed, it...

I always feel sorry for the ones that get left behind. Sorry to read this news mate. I lost my dad last year to long term illness, he's in a good place now but his best friend is still a bit lost. I still keep in touch with him as he's been constant throughout my life. The great part is that...

Here you go sir: Looks like 42-43mm to the base of the R for Range and 44mm to the base of the R for Rover (when including the trim piece) I checked this on both cars to make sure it wasn't that one had had its badges removed so I'm as confident as I can be that this is accurate. Richard.

I used mine to go and buy another one... Oh, why oh why do we do it? The driveway is looking pretty cramped with a pair of L322s flanking the Discovery 4. I got it in my head that I needed a 4.4 TDV8 and then I found this one locally that was a great price because, well, it's broken of...

I have found that every time I need to work on mine it is always easier to just remove everything in the way. Pretty sure that involves draining the coolant 99% of the time. No L322 has had coolant over a year old. Ever! :) Replace the alternator? Drop the coolant. (I guess you did too)...

The engine gradually slowing down could be inertia caused by the car moving, it may have stopped firing already but the gearbox would have forced it to turn over for a short time I expect. They don't really decouple a coast on the 6 speed trans. Stick a socket on the crank pulley and see if...

I seem to recall the lower glovebox comes out to reveal the screws holding the upper one, if one should fail, it would definitely be this one wouldn't it? :)

I have a small issue that could easily turn into a bigger one if I don't do anything about it soon. My lower glovebox won't open. It used to be sporadic but now it's not playing the game at all. The upper one opens just fine but the switch doesn't illuminate any longer, that could be a clue...

This lot have an excellent reputation. Never used them myself but have seen and heard a lot of good things. https://royalsteeringwheels.com/

Changed a split EGR pipe on our most recent 'financial mistake'. My brother and I bought a 2010 L320 RRS with a "Restricted Performance" fault. Owner was selling cheap and fully disclosed the issue so we thought "How hard can it be?" ;) Previous owner was quoted about £60 for the part and...

I did think about that after my post as I recall you had similar values. It won't take much to get a correlation error. I had this on mine: P023D-22 State Intermittent Manifold absolute pressure - turbocharger/ supercharger boost sensor A correlation It's worth noting that "Sensor A"...

Possibly. If you've got smoke before combustion then you have a route to follow to the cause. Not certain but I think they have separate intercoolers so it should isolate the issue to one side or the other if it that's the cause. It's another free test that you can do. Had a little search...

Just had another thought on this, can you get someone to tell you if it’s smoking on one side more than the other. An unpopular issue could be a failing/failed turbo. If it’s letting by and burning oil that would give you excessive smoke and a boost mismatch error. You could try pulling the...

Agreed but if the split only opens under boost then from my experience there won't be enough of a gap to get the brake cleaner through it to have any noticeable effect on a V8 with the volume of air being pulled through an unrestricted manifold. You'll need positive pressure to open it not...
