The £3900 Range Rover l322
Discussion
Been under it today. Not that bad.
Offside lower arm needs bushes
Nearside front anti roll bar link is knocking
Brake pipes are getting fairly crusty so could do with being done
2 tyres have slow punctures and none match
Fuel sensor is broken too, goes into limp mode, just unplugged it and getting a fault on dash but car works fine

Work it out for yourself!
Brim the tank. Do a trip of a given (long-ish) distance. Brim the tank again. Divide number of miles travelled by number of gallons used.
Tried to brim the tank before I left, took the max of £99 for pay at the pump and wasn't full. Figured it would be weird to pay and top up again so just left.Brim the tank. Do a trip of a given (long-ish) distance. Brim the tank again. Divide number of miles travelled by number of gallons used.

No just continue to be really happy that you are (or not) getting such great MPG - why spoil it with the real figure.Brim the tank. Do a trip of a given (long-ish) distance. Brim the tank again. Divide number of miles travelled by number of gallons used.
Surely if ever there was a car that needs man maths.....

If the speedo is fast, surely it will click the miles round fast?
Bought 2 new tyres for now, can't afford all 4 in 1 go
Doubt it, just because the speedo needle may be calibrated out, doesnt mean the odometer has to be.Bought 2 new tyres for now, can't afford all 4 in 1 go

Quick bit of offroading today as it was nice weather
Came out to it this morning and set off like normal.
Drove around town a bit with 6 or so stops where I got out and had to start the car in 30 minutes.
Final time it started and displayed "hdc inactive" with "trans fail safe prog" appearing after moving off. Absolutely shat a brick thinking it was new gearbox time. It locked it's self into 4th gear which wasn't actually that bad, even if it was slow to set off and revved high.
Got home and naturally checked the battery, first plugged into a charger which after 10 seconds said it was ready. Tried check with a voltage tester which came up as full also. Was a little puzzled so read up on the ffrr website, seems even if the battery seems ok these range rovers like a perfect condition battery.
Bought a big 110ah 920cca battery which must be almost 40cm long! Tight squeeze but it's in and the car has sorted it's self out!
Got a auto electrician coming up soon to sort the wiring mess of trailer lights and hopefully sort a input for a reversing camera.
Other than this, it's been a fairly trouble free 3500 miles in the cheapest l322 I've seen

Thanks guys.
Going to get round to sorting my front passenger door that doesn't lock or unlock on the fob, unlocks fine by pulling handle inside and locks with a manual press down on the little stick.
Window doesn't work via drivers side switch so presuming a split wire somewhere near the door hinge?
Anyone had his?
