Last week we hit an amazing 10,000 subscribers! So I want to say a big thankyou to everyone for subscribing and also to all the lovely comments that you leave. It really means a lot! There's absolutely loads of content in the pipeline (Range Rover, Esarco, and the return of the Cummins 130), and I'm planning a tool giveaway soon, so if you haven't already, subscribe so you don't miss out! Cheers, Sam

The frustration of doing loads of work and yet the fault remains! One of the reasons I like your videos is that you show your work even with the fails, which really helps other people with diagnostics. Nicely done.

Nice video ! Not sure if you had already done so but it’s important to raise the suspension to its highest setting ( if possible ) and then to disconnect the battery. Sometimes when replacing these height sensors when the battery is connected could immediately cause the car to adjust its height which could be hazardous

Sounds like a perfect night in. Beer and wiring diagrams. Sounds like heaven.

You really should drive with your center display set to 4x4. It tells you when the suspension has reached height and can show you when height sensors are failing by the wheels bouncing up and down or red bars. I appreciate the you’re having a problem with a different system though.

The excellent iid tool! Mine always shows audio faults when it all appears to work.

Just had a rr height sensor failure at 4.8volt..Frayed wiring ..that was found by my dongle and app So while waiting on my harness...time for a transfer box service and rear brake as well .. Then a rear bumper replace.. Then sew new leather in door armrests It's a labor of love ..like drums.

Sam - great info again. Grab yourself a can of electrical contact cleaner - always worth a squirt when undoing old connections. Cheers

Like the way everything clicks into place.. so satisfying to hear that sound! Cheers Sam

I just fixed the wiring splice for the rain sensor on mine. Mine also has the faults with the 2 speakers as well. Apparently its common for those faults where there is nothing wrong

Thanks. Nice video. Now I know how the replace height and rain sensors on the L322.

You're killing it mate. Great editing skills and I'm not a range rover man but I watch your content because you're a nice, hard working guy and it's nice to see you fix all these issues. You'll keep that range going for 500k I've no doubt! Hit up a another youtuber I really like: High Peak Autos, I told him to look you up as he has a range too and was looking for some ideas.

So hope you find the answer to this, I’ve got a Disco4, the ride is rock hard!! Any bump in the road is like landing a Boeing 747. Characteristics are strange, it still ‘floats’ down the road but any slight road imperfection it thuds throughout the car. I’ve got a set of 19”s going on this weekend to see if it helps, if not my local Indy has said to replace all 4 airbags and struts (these are one unit on d4 rather than separate items) hoping you can find a quick fix 😂

great video , but please check that air bag , it seems like somebody tried to close a leak and they didn't do a great job haha. i am afraid under pressure while offroading this will be a weak piont. keep on making these great video's i surely enjoy watching them.

Hi Sam, having watched someone else with a newer model land rover with a speaker fault... it came up as a all terrain module fault... hope this helps 🙏

This year I bought an L322 5.0 2010, imported from USA. So far managed to fix dozens of issues, most of them were wiring issues - including cut fibre optics (MOST). Working on Range Rovers is FUN...NOT! :D

Great stuff love the music at the end 🤣

Great video. Got a front one to change on mine. Can they be replaced whilst the wheel is on? And if not, do you lock the suspension before jacking it up?

That height sensor fought me against coming off .. the ferrules were spinning in the plastic. My Ancell (they're not bad) codereader told me to change it. Fixed. I can see why there are so many negative comments on these cars on here; people who've no mechanical ability/experience are going to pay out ££££ dearly every time.

Love the ‘hand of god’ iID plug 👍 They are good and technical support and service from GAP in Canada has been awesome 👏

Cool job! I suggest youd check the rear bushings on lower control arms as they usually wear out over time! Cheers 👍

Awesome videos Sam! I've just bought my second post-facelift L322 and, like you, I'm working through its many minor glitches. Can you please provide a link to the supplier of your gel pad? I haven't found one on eBay that fits well, and when I tried to cut a larger one down to size I got ragged edges and it didn't stick properly.

What a legend! It was so funny when you said it didn’t work 😂

may be change the OSR height sensor too? (thinking change in pairs) great video mate :)

Another interesting development, thanks for making this video. I am enjoying your ongoing time with the RR.

I had a similar problem with mine where a duff wire that goes into the top of the front RH suspension under the heavy duty metal cap (located under the bonnet) Just a cut and crimp job had her floating along again.

Before reinstalling all covers, you should test the u it in case o failure and having to disassemble all over. Nice video

:) love it! It might be a headache but this car is the bomb so you can’t complain 😎

God I loved driving my old wagon. Started with P38, right through to your 4.4TD model. Gave up on them when I got older and constant faulting became an irritant and no longer fun (yes, I did used to enjoy getting hands dirty). Went Touareg V8 tdi and to be honest in everyday life it’s more capable, without getting under it once a month to fix it. Nope it hasn’t the same graceful feeling behind the wheel, but I reached the age where that mattered less then reliability

Hi Sam. Your Channel is great. I think i may have the same rain sensor issue. please show us how you solve the problem. Good Luck !

Good to see you finally got the IID , did you decide your original diagnostics was not up to scratch?

Hi Sam. I have a 2010 L322 41k miles 3.6TD V8 diesel I bought 7 months ago. I’m the 2nd owner, enjoying the car and previously had a P38 I’m liking your videos and I’m keen to buy an IID diagnostic tool. I’ve currently got a an intermittent restricted performance warning. Where did you buy your unit from? Thanks James.

Try calibrating accelerometers through SDD, helped me with ride softness and cornering

Had the same problem was a chaffed wire near the battery a common fault took my mechanic 30 mins to repair solder and shrink stuff Good luck David in Somerset

What I have learned or can see from your videos is that your Range Rover is no longer the cheapest Range Rover, since you meticulously exchange everything that can only be exchanged. In the meantime, your Range Rover should be quite expensive to very expensive, just from the amount of work and the hours sunk for repairs, video and editing. I bought my Ranger Rover L322 / M62B44 (2003) 6 years ago, 6000€, 210,000km. From time to time he sees an oil change and that's about it. I don't even pay attention to the colorful lights in the display anymore, because I've learned that it's just prone to the smallest electronic errors, basically it just keeps running and running and running.... meanwhile 315,000 km on the clock😂 However, your videos are very good for other RR drivers with problems, no question. Still, you're paying a lot of tuition for.. ------------------------------- Was ich inzwischen aus deinen Videos gelernt habe oder ersehen kann ist, dass dein Range Rover schon lange nicht mehr der günstigste Range Rover ist, da du penibel alles tauschst, was nur zu tauschen geht. Inzwischen sollte dein Range Rover sogar schon recht kostspielig bis sehr teuer sein, alleine schon vom Arbeitsaufwand und den versenkten Stunden für Reparatur, Video und Schnitt. Ich habe meinen Ranger Rover L322 / M62B44 (2003) vor 6Jahren gekauft, 6000€, 210.000km. Der sieht ab und an mal einen Ölwechsel und das war es aber auch schon. Die bunten Lichter im Display beachte ich gar nicht mehr, da ich gelernt habe, dass der einfach anfällig ist für kleinste elektronische Fehler, im Grunde aner lauft und läuft und läuft.... inzwischen 315.000km auf der Uhr😂 Deine Videos sind allerdings für andere RR-Fahrer mit Problemen sehr gut, keine Frage👌🏻🙏🏻. Dennoch zahlst du da eine Menge Lehrgeld für👈🏻

Name every bird chirp in the vid lol. Good vids and worth watching. Bought myself 2004 v8 after watching your vids. you gave me confidence in Range Rover

My Range Rover hse 2007 having problems with my front passenger suspension, it lower than other side about 2-4cm, and I 4x4 info that side also unstable sometimes it show very high and low, and sometimes the info that show is different from real. Example the front suspension passenger side is the same height as driver side, but the info showing it not the same height. It also have air suspension indicators and and say suspension fault. My special program and suspension control are also off, I Lower and rising it by my key. I want to ask you that can be the front sensor? I already check the air system but seems not one leak. ( suspension, air compressor(leak in the past but it got fix now) valve block ,air spring, air line, ride height sensor ) the front passenger ride height sensor not broken but when I push it buy my hand it seems like a-bit weird from other side. Can you give me some advice?

5:32 background is that your neighbour leaving home in their F1 car or what?

nice chirpy birds to keep you company !

Nice job and a good informative video…….

Just looking at using the same company you did for the latest purchase, hope I get something as good

hello Sam - have you replaced it on OEM, OE or some china part? i have the same issue (part: lr023651) with height sensor, but i lost my patience for waiting for a part. I ordered it 7 weeks ago through LR parts shop in Poland, but there is lack on stock. So, now i started looking for some aftermarket part or let's say not OE/OEM, but i am not sure about its quality. Or maybe you got some sources where I can find it available ;) thanks!

Love the videos.....I too have malfunctioning rain and light sensors, but you didn't specify how yours were failing. Is it, like mine, whereby when the auto lights are switched to "auto", they come on whatever the ambient light OR is it that when they are switched to auto, they don't come on at all even at night? Likewise, my wipers when switched to auto will wipe the screen whether there is rain / water present or not, as opposed to simply not wiping ever, if on "Auto". I am trying a new self adhesive pad first as mine is patchy / cloudy and was clearly not changed when Autoglass replaced the cracked windscreen! I figure that as there are 2 sensors in the unit, it is unlikely that BOTH have failed. However if that doesn't fix it, it looks like it's out with the drivers seat to check those 4 wires. If it was the wires going open circuit, I think this would mean that the sensors work by INHIBITING the lights / wipers in the absence of darkness / rain and allow the circuits to function ONLY when the ambient light drops low and or rain starts........... Does this logic follow? Would there be anything to differentiate between a failed sensor unit and the 4 wires fault?

Be interesting to see what you can do in the car config menu items IID

I have watched some of your range rover videos and am subscribing just to see what a money pit its going to turn out to be. I hope am wrong. And thank you for the videos.

Don't know if you have any insight, but when I got my 06 RR SC, it was on its bump stops. Someone had driven it like that and the front right strut, if you pull the rubber cap off under the hood, sits 1 inch higher than the left one. So much that the cap won't go all the way back on. I imagine the banging on the bump stops rammed the strut so hard, it slipped in its housing a little? So when it is sitting on the bump stops, the front right of the vehicle sits an inch lower now. Now I reset the codes, and got the air suspension working again by replacing the relay in the back. After that, I did the turn steering wheel full left and right to reset the system. But somewhere during this process, the sensors got calibrated sitting on the bump stops with the front left being 1 inch lower. My question is, do you know what I did to trigger it to calibrate? I don't have a diagnostic tool other than the typical OBDII tool. So I couldn't have triggered the calibration on purpose.

Great video Sam. Are you a mechanic? You seem to be very knowledgeable

begs the question - if the sensor is that well glued to the screen, why the fixing clips lol

Observations: - pleasantly surprised some of these bolts aren't just shearing but I suppose it's life has been in a warmer part of the UK. Are these heights sensors also used for headlight levelling? F1 practice in the background? Digital dash? How much was the height sensor? I guess you could be holding back for a how much update later though.

Little bit of copper grease on those wheel nuts would be spot on. :-)

Have you drove another range rover that's the same year and spec just to clarify you definitely have an issue and it's not just how they are, or is it really obvious there's an issue?

Excellent video…!! Keep it up.

Have you considered it's something mechanical? Poly bushes fitted in the suspension arms can attribute a stiff ride: and I'm sure you've seen the post on arms on the FB group with the variances between rubber stiffness on the suspension bushes.

great videos, i own a 2012 4.4tdv8 l322 too. i recently had problems with the auto headlights. they dont switch off even in a sunny day. do you know where the sensor is located ? or is it the same sensor as the rain sensor?

I said a height sensor lol! wish it solved your issue mate, never simple with these! hopefully you sort it!

Great video.... Very interested in the rain sensor as I mine has stopped working, but can I ask what symptoms you had?? My wiper stalk still works, but first position is now intermittent and not auto... Is that the same? Can I ask where you found the wiring fault and I will look there first.

Loving your films!!! I'm collect my first l322 in about a week. 11 plate vogue. Does yours have timed climate?

Great video👍

Looks like a halfords socket set to me 🧐👍

Is the IID Tool specific to land rover?

Hi, can you list the odbc Bluetooth connector and software you are using, thanks

Have you got a link for the ddi?

The upgraded camera for your car is this specific model : www.luxurylandroverupgrades.com/product-page/upgraded-adjustable-2009-2011-l322-range-rover-adjustable-camera

Thanks

I thought the height sensor wiring was under the car along the chassis. I could be wrong on that model

Also - if you do a calibration - can you video it! Good luck - hope you get it sorted.

You ever have a problem with it getting fuel and starting but not actually running.

Unlucky! Made for a great ending though!

Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.

Just typical ..... you think you’ve got it tracked down and then after you’ve treated it to some new bits the bloody thing still wont work.

Press mute on the birds!!!!

GTA san ? Offroad

😅ahh haa haha
