Thread: Diesel L322

By any chance the very low km - 2004 - 05MY Blue one with white interior? Company directors wife's car?

Welcome: Did the trip 4 moths ago, Victoria to Townsville via new England. I had my 300 tdi Fully serviced and all hoses replaced just in case. If your happy with vehicle service history perhaps carry just a set of hoses, some oil and coolant just in case. I carry these on any long trip. I and checked vehicle at every fuel up until i was happy that i knew its issues and then a first parade every day, check coolants oils lights.

Yes that's the one. Strictly as I suspected not co directors car but father. Has not been used much so the long drive will do it good

That was a nice looking unit and really low kms - was interested in it as well but with the stock market crash over the past week would have lost too many units in my managed fund if I made a withdrawal to buy it. When you get it tell us all about it so I can see what I missed out on.

This post of mine was prompted by my spotting your new Rangie. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/range-rove...-rrs-tdv6.html

Good luck with it.

Phew thought for a moment that you were going to tell me something terrible about it. Yes it drove well I was at first concerned about its very low mileage for its year but the explanation seems ok.

I will know more after doing 2600 kms in it in 30 odd hours bringing it up here!

It'll do it easy,mines crossed from Kal to Sydney twice and will again in a month,it should do 30mpg without much drama. Pat

Thanks Pat yes looking forward to the drive
tried local dealer for radiator hoses the bottom hose is avaialble out of Melbourne the top hose would have to come out of the UK so not much good to me for this weekend.
Its years since I had a hose go on me but nice to have on long drives.
Is that the usual story with parts for LRs ?

I've had my 2005 L322 td6 since new - now have done 140k.

Forget about radiator hoses - they never go with modern materials used.
Check that the LR recall front diff has been fixed.

Other than that just avoid all the speed cameras on the NE Hwy.
