Stumbled across this forum by coincidence, got really exited when i found it cause i had been round inet for a while looking for a more range rover oriented forum. I`ve done some reading on the different forum topics and wow!
Everyone here seems really friendly and full of helpfull knowledge to make the RR life a little bit easier.

Specs:

2003
M62 (petrol)
Vogue
Java Black
64k miles

Got most of the gadgets including the Fuel burning heater with remote and PCV heater blanket, it has full service history and just about everythings working exept the Steering Column telecoping function, pixle problems in the display and the headlight wipers (removed)

What i`ve done so far is:

Disco3 wheels with new Hakka5 stud tires
Small cosmetic uppgrades
Oil and filter in transmission
Got the RSWsolutions diagnostics
Removed the headlight wipers (didnt work and a known source to batterydrain) Also like the looks without them!
Fitted new facelift rear lights

Problems so far:

New FSR, have been working perfectly for 2 months but now the HVAC starts to behave strange again...
Small radiator leak found (suprise?)
Overpressure in PCV due to mushy breather hoses

Very nice !! That cooper st fills the arch well what size are they? But also like the studded tyre if only I had a use for them in wales

Looks good, thought I was bad doing a round trip of 500 miles in a day to look at a car then did not buy it, fella thought I was mad and figured he had a sale. Had a 2003 with a 4.4 petrol loved every minute of it but yes, juicy. Porsche 993 Targa, Buick Skylark Convertable 1968

Tack! (Thanks)
Think the cooper tires were 275/65R18, pretty good offroad-tyre i've heard!
The hakka5s is very quiet dispite the studs, or its just the car thats very soundproof
Havent been able to test them properly yet, no snow in sight just rain rain all the freakn time!! L322 Vogue 2003

you've been busy adam..  ... - .- -.




Y. O. L. O.

Yeah almost a little too busy Never thought i would get so obsessed in reading about the l322, can sit on forums (fullfatrr most of the time ofc) for hours just trying to be one step ahead of the car so i wont freak out when i get a error message or a strange noice.

How i feel driving the l322

Important
Anxiety
Happiness
Terrified
Invinceble

Not necessarly in that order more like a mix in between
But above all i feel "proper", i get the same feeling stepping out of my -87 rr classic! L322 Vogue 2003

Nice car, and welcome.

VERY impressed with the before and after engine photos. I don't think I have the patience, but I really admire those who do.

Interesting fuel filling photo. Diesel is often the green handled one over here. One doesn't want to make a mistake.

Actually the engine wash was quite easy, i didnt have the balls to drain the engine in degreaser and go crazy with the pressure washer so instead i took a couple of rags with degreaser on and rubbed and wiped. Very quick and easy job and the resault speaks for itself. Not very longlasting though now that i got pcv overpressure and got oil leakage through the valve cover gaskets

The petrol handles in sweden are green (95 and 98 octane), diesel is black and E85 (ethanol) is blue.
Currently the prices here are
95 = 4.47£ a gallon (4.54 litres)
98 = 4.73£
Diesel = 4.58£
Ethanol = 3.44£ L322 Vogue 2003

Did some detailing for the summer

Looks nice, very shiny, did you know you can get the little piece of plastic with the raised hole in it for the wipers in a smooth version for the base model without Hid's

Ask Dan at Duckworths on here, he posts abroad...

Welcome to the forum and well done on the FFRR, it looks great. To the untrained eye it could be a recent FFRR, you did very well cleaning it up and making it look a million dollars.

Must be a Swedish thing as EDF and Seabass also seem to take super good care of theirs  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!
