| Aha, well that could certainly be it… I bought the truck with a Bluetooth set up installed by the former owner and, not being able to get it to work after 23 seconds of fiddling with it (audio being ... |

| Right, I'll go ahead and replace it. Strange that essentially all the replacement versions seem to have middling reviews as to their reliability. Will give it a shot though and see what happens. Next ... |

Just an update for anyone who is interested.
Back in November, as a reminder, the transmission specialist had said it wasn't the transmission, it was the turbos, and I was looking at £6000 to repl ... |

Greetings all.
It's possible that the brand new battery in my 2009 L322 3.6 TDV8 went totally dead over the course of two weeks of not using it due to me leaving the IID tool plugged in (accidental ... |

| Thanks Graeme; so, just so I understand the meaning of "limp-mode", even in limp-mode, the engine will still go as fast as I can get it to go in 3rd gear? I thought limp-mode would cause the ... |

Will go as fast as you want to go up to 3r ... |

Just wanted to make sure I'm correct about something before I reassemble whatever I've already pulled off...
I searched high and low but couldn't find any DIY write-ups or videos about replacing th ... |

| Regarding service bulletin LTB00080, I notice it's from Aug of 2007 (and it gives affected VIN numbers). Would that indicate that this problem was definitely sorted after that last VIN, and any L322 p ... |
