    Another day in Range Rover Joy PMSL

    Well the old battery was a Tungstone unit, never heard of them to be fair. 800a 90ah, the new one is 900a 100ah, so in theory should have more cranking amps. It now starts super fast, which is a improvement, but all the bings and bongs still remain. how do you reset all the codes, with no...

    Oh I did forget, the passenger door is also now broken as well. Will not unlock, and won’t open. Good job I’m single, and never take passengers. I’m taking the view of one job at a time, so it’s on the list to do, after the Bongs !!!!

    Morning All, Quick Update, have read all the comments and you guys have a great sense of humour (Goes with Land Rover ownership I’m sure) So have ordered a new Yuasa battery, with 5 year guarantee, so by my reckoning should never have to buy a new one again, as they only last a couple of...

    Restoration of a Camel Trophy (Must be Mad)

    Quick update on the Camel. Well if I'm being honest I have very nearly given up twice, it's done my head right in. Every time I think all the rust has gone, I find more. Triggers Broom springs to mind. I have even advertised it as spares or repairs. But it looks like I'm stuck with the old...

    Restoration of a Camel Trophy (Must be Mad)

    I understand I will need a new boot floor minimum, but it has rust in the rain channel and other areas. Chassis is super fine, as is the rest of the body. Is there a way of getting all of the rot out of the shell, I understand there is no simple answer to this question, but as I have never...

    I want a L322, But need Help !!!!!

    Hi, found a few threads and have had a look through. Seems to me they are just like any other Land Rover, obviously have there own niggles. But if you go into ownership expecting something to fail, its not a surprise when it does. Thanks for the advise, and I will keep digging. :):):)
