L322 reliability?

[Roverlord off road spares]

Any issues to be wary of on the pre 2006? Diesels
I like the idea of the amount of room in the L322s.
Not many used ones around, but i see heaps of Used L320 sports. Seems people are getting rid of their L320 sports more than the L322.

I think Drivesafe might chime in Mario. Cheers

Just edited post, diesels only not interest in V8

Just do it Mario. Life is too short, part of the reason i got one. Td6 and the drivetraim ( minus the transmission ) are brilliant and in my opinion they are overall the best model. Tim has had big issues with his tdv8 however he was very happy with the td6.

On the TD6, the gearbox keeps coming up as an issue.

It was the main reason I went for the TDV8.

Forget about all these 'hairdressers cars' Mario and get yourself a real 4WD. :):D;):wasntme:

Love the engine and that fsntastic gearbox however performing some tasks such as turbo replacement and alternator replacement without being able to remove the body is just a horror story....😕

Justin is this on the V6 or the V8?

Yep the body off trick is really absurd. Love the td6 models. Cheers

When I go to the Oakleigh central sometimes I always see tins of OKA on the shelves, must be a greek thing.;)
oops it's OKRA.
I couldn't afforded the repair bills on an OKA, your always spending your pension fund on yours aren't you?;):p

There is no V6 FFRR :)

Straight 6 using the BMW M57 3L turbo diesel, or the 3.6 and 4.4 TDV8s.
Plus the petrol V8s.

Just sold mine on, as stated, apart from the transmission these cars are brilliant. Turbo replacement on the TD6 is straightforward, but a bit fiddly. Nothing to get into a twist about. The engines are superb, the transfer case and diffs have no known issues. They can chew through batteries but if you drive them everyday, it isn't a huge issue.

The who,e car is quite an easy vehicle to maintain and there are **** loads of parts around at reasonable prices - I'm sure you'll have no issues on the strong. :)

Buy one, everyone should own at least one in their lifetime - it will leave a lasting impression and make pretty much any other car you own look inferior. :D

AndrewYes, I hosed the mud off a few days ago but then went to pick-up the mail and messed it up again. The hairdresser bills could be costly!

To be pedantic, there is no V6 L322 FFRR.

L405 however......

2006 saw an increase in reliability according to some. Bang for buck I think this sort of vehicle is pretty good, a Jag 4.4 na. Jag v8 na has pretty good reports for reliability and less complex than a tdv8 but the same kW. It has a ZF 6 speed 6HP26 like the tdv8 so quite smooth. It is also the last model with a manual handbrake.

However, I think a 4.2SC would be a cracker.

Yes straight 6, I made a typo

[sheerluck]

I was only picking on Muppet, Mario. It's one of my few hobbies. :D

[Roverlord off road spares]

Now just to find a good on at the right price :)

Edit: Oops, shouldn't laugh at another man's misfortune, shame on me. Poor b@$tard's had an awful time of it.

Homestar, It's hard to pry your bum out of them, and trips are never long enough:cool:

[rar110]

Compared to my 110, so much easier to do a 6 - 10 hour trip in the L322. Precision rack & pinion steering over the old drag link design, the quiet interior, the amazing seats and sound system, effortless power availability, effective heating/cooling, incredible road stability with nearly no body roll, all contribute to a great driving experience. And it has better off road traction than my 110 which was now slouch off road. Not really a fair comparison as the only traction aid on the 110 is a front LSD.

I'm please with the turning circle compared to my D2, reversing my boat in a tight street is really difficult in the D2 due to its large turning circle.

As for the HEVAC, the notorious FSR ( final stage resistor ) is one of this models niggles. I think mine is intermittantly paying up. Seems an easy fix though.

Shorter bolts quite significantly improve the turning circle.

I cut the bolts shorter, but U turn turning were still a lot longer than my old Disco1. I got caught once doing a U turn and the light pole on the nature strip was very close. The D1 just breezed it before. D2s have a different setup to the older D1s with swivels
