Great video as usual. Just for the craic, I have a justified hatred of changing the belts or pulleys. However I did manage to do the last couple without removing fan shroud or lower trays etc. Just top charge air pipes and one or two coolant and induction pipe. and the two airboxes.. Cranked fan off and just moved it out of my may enough to access pulley bolts and tensioners. Changed both belts in 2 hrs... Fair bit of potty mouth and a litre of blood but its doable. Anyway maybe helps someone.

I was enjoying this, all the way up to the point where the Chinese 💩 came out.

Cracking video as ever, could you tell me what you needed to change on the CCF to enable the speedo to show both kmh ands mph please

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.

I'm now doing your install, did you manage to find the female plug part number please?

Hi Sam. Can you give me some idea of how much time approximately it would take to change a starter motor on my L322 V8 TDI. In a proper garage but have never done one on this model as I’m in Italy. Thanks !

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

Hi Sam, great video, can you confirm which CCF setting changed the display to KM/H when switching from Miles to KM. Thanks

Thanks for this guide Sam, just done mine to fix a buzzing driver's side woofer which it has done and added a nice little upgrade too. I reused the butyl strip between speaker and plastic mounting cage which peeled off in one piece so 'why not?' and also glued back the foam circles to the front of the Audisons whilst the glue gun was hot. Space where the tweeter crossovers go is a bit tight on refitting because of the loom going to the mirrors but a firm push and the grill covers sit okay again. I left out the tweeter mount cups and glued directly to the foam 'sails' which gave me a bit more room to angle the tweeters up further. Great video, thanks for the tips.

Nice update Sam, finally gave me to confidence to change some CCF files! Switched on the DRL and added the digital speedo...off to Netherlands next week so having kph on the digital speedo is cool. Will see if i can do the kph swap on main dial. Had a flat last week, not repairable so decided on full set of GG AT3 fitted next week, wonder if the 55 profile will impact speedo. If so, will do your CCF change. Will check my centre bearing at some point. Enjoy your jaunt across Europe. Always love an EU trip. Took my RR to Southern Germany for a business trip last month. Best car for long road trips. Look forward to the next video. Cheers.

Another point to be aware of with your under-reading speedo: it is illegal in many jurisdictions to have a speedo that under-reads - one reason being that it affects the odometer reading, underestimating the actual mileage/kilometrage of the vehicle.

Yes

Mine was feeling very underpowered so I tried adding some wynns turbo cleaner. It took a while for it to work but what a massive difference it made. I now use it once every two years 👍

Looking forward to seeing how you repair the window switch pack, mine is doing the same 🙄 👍

Nope

What model / cost is the roof top tent and the sun shade….. are they both from china ?

What size are the front caliper bracket retaining bolts please?

Thanks Sam, Wonderful videos all round. I have been researching L322 for some time and after watching several of yous and others I have finally bought an L322 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE in Black. I'm the third owner and its done 131000 miles, but what a car. Thanks for your inspiration. I'm smiling in my sleep!

Hey Sam, your thumbnail shows the LED Spots, but no info on how you mounted them. Did you drill straight thru the bumper, or is there some sort of bracket? If there's a bracket, I'd love the link pls. Keep up the great vids!

What are the symptoms of the centre bearing being shot on the l322? Just vibration?

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?

Hi Sam What is the engine management scan tool you use on the Vogue please. Cheers Nigel

Sam are you running your 4.4 tdv8 on private tax @ €2400 yr? Recently picked same up, can't commit to paying that!

Just done my first oil change on my 2011 4.4 tdv8 and it's an absolute breeze doing it with the suction pump! Why can't you do this with all cars??? Or can you....? As I recently discovered mine had had the dpf removed, I went for 5w40 oil and am adopting the 'cheap and often' route as this is what we did with all my cars when I had my airport transfers business and we easily got 300k from them. I also discovered there was only about 6 litres of oil in the sump - at least that's how much I sucked out (oooh er missus!) Anyone any idea at what level the oil warning light should come on in a 4.4 tdv8?? Brilliant video Sam - been a great help.

I like every thing about yo work sam, I need a used Cummins engine bt6 for my 130 full with a gear box

Great video, totally agree with everything you said. I had a l322 3litre for 4 hrs and loved it. Have now had a 4.4 for 2 years, a totally different animal, can’t praise it enough, an absolute joy to drive.😂

Hi Sam first time watching your channel and just subscribed! I can tell you’re a quality mechanic, great to see you using the right tools for the right job. On a side note I’m an x- military vehicle inspector, we need more conscientious vehicle inspectors, the amount of unroadworthy and unsafe vehicles I’m seeing on the road at the moment is extremely concerning, particularly on emissions. Anyway you take care. Looking forward to following your upcoming road trip, Dave 👍

Have a great time and a safe journey!

please we need to know: how much weight can the roof truly hold? I reckon with the weight of your robust roof rack, and the RTT, and the awning, you're already at the max capacity? how then can it hold the weight of 2 grown adults on top to boot? thanks in advance for your experienced answer.

Looking real good..re the x lifter I mounted the control unit in the inside top of the centre console on the left..it fits perfectly and ran the wires underneath and soldered to the back of cigarette lighter..it hidden but still easily accessible 😁Enjoy the trip…where did u get the swing out awning from?

Good video Sam and improving content..👍Hope you two have a great time exploring in France. Bon voyage 🇫🇷

26.33 a range rovers owner dream finally can fix the car in dry when broken down hahahaha

Looks great! was looking at the 270 awenings but didnt think it would work with the tailgate. What one is it you got?

Another great video! Thanks for the upload. I rarely comment on anything on the internet but wanted you to know that you were the inspiration behind my new family car. 2011 L322 with 141,000 on the clock. One loving owner from new. It might be the perfect car. Does everything I need it to do in luxury and almost make me happy and chill me out on a long drive. I think I’ve watched all you L322 videos a minimum of 2 times as I tried to make my choice. I have also used multiple videos to upgrade my new car (LED lights, new armrest knob etc) still a few on my list to do but great fun so far. Thank you for starting your channel, thanks for the great uploads, no bullshit, no fluff just simple clean engineer videos. If you and the Mrs are ever in Scotland feel free to drop me a message. I can offer Tea and a fair decent knowledge of Scottish islands and cool places to adventure. All the best Calum

Hello! I really like your channel, I always enjoy watching all the episodes. Please tell me where and what kind of diagnostic tool you purchased for the car in order to connect from your phone to its functions? Thank you!

Shift points… thank you for addressing the larger tire size and the auto-trans gear changing Is it possible to change tire size on the P38

CCF changes are the most nerve racking things you can do on your prized machine... its difference of a job well done verses a 3k dealer reflash. Love my my12, but we are nearing gutter territory with these aren't we?

Shouldn't fail on prop centre bearing I wouldn't think, but rusty brake pipes, yes. Looking good for the trip though.

Enjoy your trip! Say hi to Ben for me!

Use the bluetooth audio in the OEM system with android auto interface.

I can confirm that this is a very comfortable overlander (I have the same vehicle with roughly the same setup but left only the front seats in) Happy overlanding!

🤜🏽🤛🏽

Enjoy your holiday, excellent series, looking forward to your next post.

Great video 👌🏻

Did you ever fix your ride on the l322? I recently bought one with vdc and when I bought it the battery had gone low and it was in a “towing” mode I’d say as it was riding the same as when I’ve had a trailer on my old l322 with vdc. This made me think whirl watching your videos on it, have you ever checked the towbar electrics or considered removing them temporarily to see it it helps? When I towed the rear went hard and the truck bounced even when the trailer had no weight on it so I shouldn’t have felt it. Anyway just thought I’d mention it in case it helps.

great video as always but had been looking forward to seeing how you had fitted the LED spots as the brackets from JLR are for the pre 2010 variant and really curious to see what modifications it required

Great setup, but how will you open trunk with awning open? Whats the total vehicle height with tent on top? Im thinking about buying rack for my L322 and just switching tent betweend defender and rangerover, depending on trip destination. Also, L322 related question. In my 4.2sc i have broken heating/cooling in front seats. Do you think, it's possible that the same ducts are used in rear seats? I was thinking about switching them over since there is no need for luxury in second seat row in my car :)

Sam, Grest stuff as usual. Do you know is Bodsy still doing gearbox services? I can’t find him anywhere online??? My 2011 105k miles RRVSE is holding gears and had lost its smooth changes. Any pointers would be appreciated 👍👍👍

What roof rack have you got Sam ?, You have probably been through this in past videos ,sorry for asking anyway if that's the case. I don't think there is a lot of choice with L322's and I think the roof loading isn't great. As a fabricator and LR fan I have toyed with designing my own.

My Friday just got a whole lot better. So glad to see this upload! Love anything L322 from your channel.
