Thread: Considering L322 purchase - what contingencies to allow for

Hi Charles,
Make sure everything electric works.
The engine in these will go forever with regular oil changes.
Check to see if the crankcase breather has been changed over to the newer type(will never need changing then).

If you buy it, change transmission fluid and do so on regular basis(20 K's).


See how long it takes to raise and lower suspension. If it takes forever there is a kit from UK that will rejuvenate it.

When raised see what the bags look like,if getting lots of cracks around them get some new ones in from UK for when you have to change them.
Other people will chime in with more hints as to what too look out for.
Good luck
cheers

Thanks Gazza,

I will check the breather and airbags when I go over the car in detail tomorrow.

All electrics work and the suspension raises & lowers quite quickly so all seems good on that front.

Cheers, Charles

That could be very expensive! See this thread: L322 td6 GM transmission oil & filter

Thanks Ron - I had an idea that fluid requirements were very specific, so really helpful.
Cheers, Charles

Hi Charles,

Ring Rhys on 0299074486 re gearbox fluid.
He has fixed quite a few of td6 gearboxes(including mine) and ask him what fluid he uses.
Pretty sure its valveline ????.

cheers

Didn't you have ongoing issues with yours after a rebuild/ did it get it sorted in the end?

Think I had small problem when I first got it back, all good now.

That was almost 4 year ago. My how time flies.
