Thread resurrection here, but need a bit of help getting into my l322 popped open the boot to grab something out, threw keys on top of parcel shelf while I threw the stuff out, shut the boot.... :eek: keys still on shelf! :mad: I tried pulling the top of the drivers back and passing in a 10mm...

Yeah there was a recall on them I believe, the easy way to check if it’s been done is to see if there is a heat shield fitted protecting the joint between the prop and diff, I had someone drive the car while I sat in the back and listened and it sound like it’s coming from under the rear...

Ok I have narrowed it down to 3 possibilities for the rumble, it is either the cv joints, the center bearing on the rear prop or the spines on the driveshafts are starting to strip, I don’t think it is the latter as i assume they would be extremely loud if they were stripping and I would lose...

According to the mot inspectors manual it’s all to do with noise, the removing of cats will be a fail not because the exhaust has been tampered with bit because the emissions will be too high for a pass, dpfs can’t be touched on diesels but you can alter exhausts as long as it’s not stupidly...

Yeah thanks for that, the MOT rules here are regarding noise only, if the exhaust silencers or baffles have been removed it is only a fail if, at the testers discretion it is deemed too loud

Hello its me again with another problem with the old L322! This time self inflicted, amongst others the newest issue is i have managed to ground the car, it is of course my wifes fault as i had lowered the car so she could climb in and i set off Without waiting for the car to raise, and rather...

Sorry sir the late update, fitted the kit, reset the error code and the pump is completely silent! Still slow to get off road compared to the p38 but does get there quietly now! However I now have some more issues!! :D I have a strange rumbling sound at low speed when I take my foot off the...

Yeah I think it will eventually need a new motor as it does still struggle to get it up into off road height, but credit where its due, it is a tiny motor pumping 4 large air bags to lift the best part of 3 ton, I never use off road height anyway, I just lower it to help my vertically challenged...

Got the seal kit from bagpipingandy on flebay for £25, had the pump out and new seals installed in about 40 mins, really easy to do, I think the problem was caused from damp as there was about 2 inches of standing water in the spare wheel well and the sound insulation inside the pump housing was...

Yeah I think I will give the seal kit a go and see how it does, I never really use the air suspension either, so don’t mind if it rises slowly, thanks for the help :)

I agree as the kit is machined by hand according to his you tube video so I don’t think it will be perfectly accurate but worth a shot

By ‘stick’ I mean that the seal bonded to the cylinder wall not enough to seize but enough to damage the seal once the pump sprung back to life also the 15 minutes it took get up to pressure probably didn’t help! I think I may replace the seals as it’s quick and easy to ensure that is the issue...

Yeah mine is a 2004, it has been suggested that with it sitting the piston ring has stuck and thus failed so that is what’s causing the problem as the pressure will only go so high with a dodgy seal the compressor still works and i don’t seem to have any leaks, however the pump is (and always...

Yeah I bought a new heavy duty HGV battery for it as the old one was sadly left flat so was stuffed! I have cleared the codes about 3 times now and it works fine for about 10 mins then goes inactive and will only maintain minimum pressure

Thanks guys yeah piston ring makes sense and seems like a good place to start as it would still build up pressure with a dodgy ring just not very fast, the compressor still works and i don’t seem to have any leaks, however the pump is (and always has been) quite loud it is very noticeable from...

Ok here goes.... I have just rebuilt my box on my l322 and the car has been sat for about 5 months while I did it, maybe more but today she had her first drive out since the surgery And The car drives great, however I now have a new problem... when I jacked the car down the air suspension was...

Ok here goes.... yes this has been a long time coming but today I finally got the car up and running! With weather and a job change the car took a back seat (excuse the pun) but today she had her first drive out since the surgery and everything works great so MAJOR thanks to @Bemble for the...

Thanks, thermostat ordered now so fingers crossed that sorts it out, thanks for all the help

Sorry for late reply guys, I think your right about the thermostat as after bleeding it warmed up great and the heater was hot at tick over and the car ran at correct temp, as soon as I took it out on the road the temp dropped to just below the first ‘arrow’ and heater was only just warm, my...
