Thanks Tim. It’s all working very nicely ATM including the traxide DBS. Thanks for that recent trouble shooting. Was I supposed to send you something relating to the L322?
Re spray cost:
• front bumper, bonnet, roof and upper tailgate was about $2700;
• plastic covers for roof channels, bonnet vent, side vents and door handles (incl backing plate) cost about $1000.
It took about 3 weeks to finish. I called in a couple of time to check progress. It was quite a lot of work.
I wouldn’t have done it except:
• I’ve decided to keep the L322 long term rather than upgrade to a 4.4 (a whole bunch of reasons eg it has 18” tyres, no EGR, new trans/transfer box, new front struts fantastic service history);
• the L322 is on a novated lease so was paid before tax (effectively a tax deduction) and I get GST back, so effectively cost me about $1850 total.

The rears are 14 years old so probably a change won't hurt I'll keep the old ones and probably rebuild them with new airbags.
My coopers are not the AT3s and working well for me at the moment.
Finally got the Vogue across from Perth.
Fitted some side steps, my trusty ShuRoo, UHF, Phone cradle, Phillips lights and got rid of the 22" rims to fit the old 20's off my Sport. For tyres i went for the 285/50 Cooper LTZ's after having 275/45's on the Sport. A few things on the tyres, that most of you know already, the 285's LTZ's are bloody noisy (compared to the 275's) for some reason, although could be more to do with the vehicle than the tyres. Also 285/50 will not fit in the spare compartment, or it sort of fits but not worth the effort modifying stuff. Just went with an Eagle AT 255/55 for the spare as that matches diameter pretty well, can be squeezed into the compartment and i leave a spare cooper and rim sitting at the transport depot if needed. The rear's do rub a bit as the suspension bottom's but i just tried one of those fender rolling gadgets that bolt to your hub and it folded the lip up a bit- seems to have stopped it gouging the tyres now.
Was then sent in for EGR blank and ECU upgrade- was tosssing up if it needed this or not after the first drive, however wrt horsepower i think it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Nice improvement over what is already a pretty handy engine.
Has been out to the desert a couple of times since then. Overall a bit more refined and comfortable than the sport, but in some ways the sport suspension seems better suited to the high speed gravel and undulating roads. Vogue leaks a bit more dust, and as Graeme said, it too suffers from the dust accumulation at the top of the tailgate, however I don't think it is as bad as the Sport was. Had a bit under 100K on it when i bought it and have rattled 10K or so up on it so far with just a fuel tank sender failure so far...
Switching DSC off stiffens the shocks somewhat but as these vehicles ride close to the tall internal bump-stops (helper springs) at normal height, more bump-stop clearance virtually eliminates the rebound from having used the bump-stops on undulating gravel surfaces.

G'day all,
just upgraded the rangie for some more outback touring.
Nobody makes the look alike Clearview mirrors for our vehicle so decided to make my own. Some work involved but not much I can't see around the car now and when the van is attached. The indicators work, the heated mirrors work, the puddle lights not so much at the moment, I think I will have to put a resistor in the line because the are eagle eye leds. Discreet winch mount and winch mounted with remote for winch as well as cable attachment.
Hi All,
Long time lurker and previously owned two Disco's (Series 1 and 3). Bit the bullet in Dec last year and bought this Rangie. I wanted a Supercharged for the rear diff-lock. Since fitted Apple Carplay, Cooper Zeon tyres, battery (wow $$!) and acquired the "mandatory" Gap-IID tool. In my 6 months of ownership its had one uneventful service (main dealer) and only one "event": Adaptive Dynamics error due to broken wire on suspension strut which I manage to fix on the spot. I have done way more km's that I intended. This was only ever going to be the second car for towing my campertrailer and playing, but I find myself walking past the daily driver all the time and jumping in the rangie 'cause it is just so much nicer.
