Is that the RSW (RWS ?) beastie ? Happily I managed to persuade the helpful AA guy to scan for faults and clear them and it’s all good now (for now !) 🤞🏻

Why doesn’t that surprise me 🤣 You know, I kinda like the ‘honesty’ of the P38… you know the deal you’re making when you drive one, the L322 pretends to be all Kinds of fancy !

Hi, I’ve had a look around and it seems like the BMW INPA software might be a good ‘first fix’ option for a 2003 L323. I do have an ODB2 / Serial adaptor I made for my P38 to use with RSW EAS software. I read, though that there may be a different pin-out for the INPA suite. Does anyone know...

Hi, I’ve just had to drive a Couple of hundred metres to get to a safe spot after a puncture which is annoying and was a bit ‘juddery’. Now safe and trying to jack the beast up to fit the spare I’ve come up against two issues: The scissor jack is utterly blooming useless and I’ve an EAS...

Hi, sorry to jump on this thread with a ‘me too’ but I have non functional parking sensors too. I get a beep ing and they switch lights up when I pop it into reverse but nothing useful. All 4 front and 4 rear appear to be ‘clicking’ will have a look at the paint issue as they do Have a bit of...

Does the Foxwell read / write to the EAS module and allow you to callibrate the EAS heights ? And, if purchasing, do I want the JLR or the BMW one ? Thanks again Bob

Hi, the rumbling happens in 4th and 5th in manual at the same speeds but that could still be the torque convertor as it’s only ‘semi’ manual and it still changes down automatically. I’ll get the transmission fluid changed this weekend -is it quite straightforwards in these supposed ‘sealed for...

Is that a ‘thing’ with this flavour of RR ? Is it likely to be a horrifically expensive experience ?

It is

Hi, a bit more info: It happens repeatedly at around 48-54 mph with very light acceleration and again around 65. It only happens with very light acceleration -if I accelerate moderately or hard or if I take my foot off the gas it doesn’t happen. It does this in Drive, 5th and 4th. It...

Hi, But of an odd one here… Whilst driving my 2003 4.4 petrol (110,000 miles) I occasionally get a weird ‘rumble’ which feels like going over a rumble strip. It lasts for about 1 sec then often the gearbox will kick down. It feels like it’s coming from the rear N/S. I wondered whether this...

Ah… I’m a lowly 2003 and my head unit looks like this:

Hi, I promised myself I wouldn’t do this but….. The majority of buttons on the standard spec head unit of my newly-acquired 2003 L322 don’t work -despite feeling like they give a positive contact -so I can’t change audio settings, control the on-board computer or even set the clock ! While...

Hi, Just by way of an update, I did buy the L322 at what seems like a good price. It seems mostly to work and is cosmetically pretty good apart from one rear wing which is a bit rotten. It all seems to work mostly too (apart from the stereo buttons) -there is a spot of ‘aftermarket’ Bodgery...

They seem very clever and great, right up until the point they seize and trash your transmission ! If, god forbid, I ever buy another P38 I’ll be sure to check the VCU -although I’m more committed to getting / keeping mine in good Nick for now.

Hi, The viscous coupling in my P38's transfer box locked solid. The first consequence of this was the rear diff grinding itself apart whilst cruising at 70 in the middle lane of the motorway -it was not fun. Replaced the destroyed rear diff and then felt something wrong with the front end (it...

Aye, you’re probably right but I don’t have the time I need to get the old girl through her MOT (need to do the front upper and lower ball joints, replace a seat loom and replace the leaky heater matrix ‘o’ rings) and the boring car is waiting on a part from Germany and needs the heater matrix...

Having not learned my lesson with my P38, I’m looking at getting a seemingly inexpensive L322 to get me around until I can get the P38 (and my ‘boring’ car) back on the road. Having been burned by the VCU in my P38 (which trashed both rear and then front diffs on the way out) I was wondering...

Sounds like a good idea ! How did you find fitting the new seal ? I hear it can be a pain

Well, I’m finally getting some time to get round to this have new seals for boot and I managed to get a new genuine sunroof seal in the US. Will update once I actually manage to achieve something !
