    Four of them from different banks.

    L322 5.0 litre supercharged.

    White smoke from exhaust accompanied by a really funky smell, a misfire on multiple cylinders, and an appetite for coolant. That’s about it. . . . . . . . . Please tell me that you think that I’m mistaken.

    L322 5.0 litre supercharged.

    I’m in Walsall but I can get the car moved. It still drives but in restricted performance mode.

    L322 5.0 litre supercharged.

    My car is broken. It’s at least a cylinder head gasket, maybe cracked heads as well. Can anyone recommend a specialist that can work on the car. Believe it or not I’ve asked a local specialist and they’ve got back to me and said that it’s not something that they would want to get involved with.

    P38A Battery, to disconnect or not.

    Ah I understand. So it’s not mechanical? There’s so much electrical stuff on the car I think that I’ve probably made the right decision to disconnect the battery.

    P38A Battery, to disconnect or not.

    If I disconnect the battery is it possible to lock the tailgate?

    P38A Battery, to disconnect or not.

    Thanks for the advice. I will disconnect it then. It was okay when I disconnected the battery to do the sump gasket so I think that it should be alright. I'm going to leave the remote in the car and lock it with a spare key. I appreciate the warning about not pressing the buttons on the fob when...

    P38A Battery, to disconnect or not.

    I thought about that option but if battery goes flat I have to enter the EKA and you don’t want to be doi that after 17hours travel.

    P38A Battery, to disconnect or not.

    Unfortunately I don’t know anyone who lives near Heathrow and I think my last battery wasn’t cheap.

    P38A Battery, to disconnect or not.

    Good afternoon Gentlemen, I'd like to get fellow owners thoughts on this; I have to leave the RR at the airport for about 3 weeks and I am trying to decide on whether to disconnect the battery or not. I had a dreadful time after I left it for about 10 weeks once and the battery went flat whilst...

    P38A Rear Main Oil Seal.

    Yes, I would say that's exactly what happened. So would you suppose when originally manufactured or the car had the rear main replaced? I've got to say the torque settings on the sump were all over the place, some of the bolts had thread lock on others didn't.

    P38A Rear Main Oil Seal.

    Hi guys , I just thought I’d post a pleasant discovery. I suspected my rear main oil seal had failed as I was using quite a lot of oil, anyway I took it to my local independent Land Rover specialist and they suggested that I check the sump gasket before I did anything else. So yesterday I...

    P38A Sunroof Drain Tubes.

    Thanks for your advice gentlemen. I am a little wiser for your input.

    P38A Sunroof Drain Tubes.

    My understanding of the vehicle is getting alot clearer the more I correspond with you chaps. I think that there's a good chance that the grommet is there on the passenger side but I just can't see it, I was after all looking for an open pipe like the other side. If the weather is okay at the...

    Another distinct possibility.

    P38A Sunroof Drain Tubes.

    I just checked for my own piece of mind and yes I can see the grommet on Rave. I wonder if they didn't fit them to the very late cars, perhaps they ran out of stock at the factory?

    P38A Sunroof Drain Tubes.

    That's exactly what I have too on the drivers side. Mine doesn't have a one way valve either but I can't imagine why it would.

    P38A Sunroof Drain Tubes.

    Thanks for clearing up the confusion. Can you see the ends of both of the drain tubes?

    P38A Sunroof Drain Tubes.

    Are you sure Wammers? Kermit says that he can pour water in his left hand drain and it comes out on the drivers side. Presumably I should be able to see the end of the tube with a flashlight?

    P38A Sunroof Drain Tubes.

    Yes I remember seeing that post but dismissed it at the time as every other post I had read suggested that each corner drain tube came out behind its respective wheel arch. Perhaps I should have taken more notice.:oops:
