Would have to agree about the headlights being crap ( not as good as expected). He ones on my P38 were a lot better. But then I haven't seen the bi-xeion one.

Thank you very much for all your replies!
I haven't been able to get on here as much as i would have liked over the past few days but from spending time driving my Rangy and just getting to know it most of the things i at first thought may have been problems seem to be the norm from all accounts...
The only thing that makes me nervous is the turbo but i have read many thread on the internet which leads me to believe that it is just a normal sound for this motor... :angel:
With my birthday coming up soon... all i want is goodies for the Range Rover to keep him clean and maybe some clear side repeaters :D
James.
When i first started driving this like most i found the gear box to be a real let down in means of smoothness...
One method i have found to make the car nicer to drive is when i feel the car beginning to load up just at the point where it wants to change down but i am happy with the speed and throttle position (example again light throttle use at 60kmph) i just throw it over into sport shift and this adds a few hundred rpm without me having to kick it back with more throttle...
Doing this has made the car just that little nicer to drive :) Overall i am still absolutely loving the feeling this thing gives to drive! :D

James the turbo whistle is normal,it spins at 100K remember,drive ''my'' L322 and enjoy it.With the gearbox it shunts because it's in top gear at 60 which is too slow,in traffic flick the lever to the left so it's in sport mode and it'll hold third and fourth. PatQuote:

The cost of adding it to earlier cars is ridiculously high.
To do Bluetooth properly, then yes, a bit pricey, but if you don't mind cheap Chinese stuff (I know that wouldn't work for you Ron with your good purchasing history :D) but there are cheap aftermarket head units that give you bluetooth. Was going to do this with mine, but I'll be selling it now, so not going to worry.
Would I buy another one? Yes, but a newer version - maybe something that was only a few years old, but I won't have the pennies for that for a while I don't think.

If yours has a cig lighter next to an aux audio plug at the back of the centre console, there is a $20 Bluetooth solution.
However, I agree my 08 model has lots of good stuff on it. I especially like the heated memory seats. They're more comfortable than our lounge chairs.
Whilst "xmasing on the couch " I have been reading this thread as my desire for a l322 has been growing - some good info here .
My wish list is a prob the later 2011 ish .
I've promised myself one when my p38 reaches 300k .
