Post #1 first line says 2004 HSE. That'll be a 2004 HSE L322 then. Not sure what difference it would make to any of us if it were petrol or diesel but as the OP said he's in Massachusetts I'd suggest it very unlikely to be a diesel leaving us with the most likely option of the 4.4 Petrol V8...

What was it charging at? A friend of mine had an alternator that had a failing rectifier in it, it would show as charging at around 14.4v and then spike to almost 20v every so often. It's probably worth checking that you're getting a consistent voltage when idling and get someone to rev the...

The Autozone guy has never seen an alternator then! There has to be something wrong with your battery here though. If you drove it for that time and it's charging correctly you'd have to have the biggest current draw to kill it in the time you were in the shop! At rate of discharge you...

Neither of my facelift Vogues have had this feature but the 2008 Vogue SE did. The SE would adjust the lights up and down, then go slightly cross-eyed, it was quite cool I guess. Never noticed the difference in normal driving though.

I don't know if I am reading this correctly so forgive me if I am missing something here but I'm wondering about your test conditions on the battery drain. The later L322s are brutal on the battery due to the number of things that liven up when you unlock and open the car so I expect you'll see...

It does rather sound like the gearbox has failed. I've heard they are the weakest of them with the 5 speed. My only experience similar was with an Old Ford Scorpio that drove seemingly perfectly all the way to work one morning (around an hour and 35 miles), went to reverse into a parking space...

Thought I'd better update this thread to explain what happened here. After removing the tank and checking all of the connections, sender operation and wiring back to the the Body Control Module and being unable to find a fault, we considered replacing the BCM. Whilst having GapIID plugged in...

Had a new rear screen fitted as the heater elements mostly didn't work and the rear wiper had done a fair bit of damage to it. Not at all thrilled to find the spoiler resting on the roof without so much as a cloth to protect the paint or the ivory parcel shelf being used as a work bench even...

I'm looking for a bit more help here please. We've had another crack at it this weekend and we're still no closer to finding the fault but perhaps understand it a little better, so, here's the current situation. Drained the tank down and removed it. Done a continuity check across the wires...

Our 2013 D4 has an AGM battery from the factory and is coded as such. My 2011 4.4 TDV8 vogue also has an AGM battery and that is correct too but my 2010 3.6 didn't, that was a normal lead-acid battery. I would suggest that you have now fitted the wrong type of battery to the Discovery, put the...

Make sure you replaced it with an AGM battery and you updated/reset the BMS

I think you'll find there is a handbrake release in the boot, pull the right side trim out to expose the rear fusebox and look in towards the front of the car near the top of the wheel well. There's the emergency filler cap release with a plastic handle (I think) and the handbrake one also...

Change the fuel computer to L/100km and a KM/H speedo appears in the bottom of the speedo. It's in the handbook. I've coded the MPH one input mine full time but you can see where it is here

In the south east there's nothing but sunshine and lollipops. Nope. It's wetter than an otter's pocket and still raining.

I bought a cheapie in a hurry and it's been fine for a while but no doubt will not last the test of time. That said, they're so easy to fit I don't mind doing that job twice for the sake of getting the car back on the road quickly.

I did that valve on my 3.6 TDV8 and it was SO MUCH FUN to access. Although it was knackered, I still didn't get any heat as it was the single one that diverts the coolant to the Webasto heater that was the actual cause so that's one to watch. As the OP has the M62, I guess it's unlikely...

Lucas EGR cleaner softens the carbon around the injectors, I made a slide hammer using an old wheel nut (M14 I think). Typically the ones that you can get a straight pull on don't fight you, its the ones at the hottest point at the back of the V that put up the biggest fight and of course they...

So basically, I'm dropping the fuel tank then. Yeah, I really do NOT want to do that and most notably because it has at leat 75l of fuel in it and I'm saying that because I know it has a smaller tank than my L322 which is 100l but this bugger is still full and there's no getting away from that...

It does start mate but it does all the things that Graculus suggests is specific to the L322. I'll see if I can find the fuel level reset in Gap. I'll let you know.

Reviving an old thread here but @Graculus and @biketeacherdave, I'm hoping I can benefit from your experience here. I've been in an absolute fight with my brother's L320 (2010 TDV6) over the hand brake module etc. and having finally got all that working and all the rusty bits replaced, it...
