Hi guys , love the videos, I’m on the verge of getting a l322 myself , you hear so many horror stories about them but you’ve just got to take the plunge and get one lol, so I know these videos will come in very handy 😂
You just need to have a few mechanical skills, nothing major but a lot of patience. I've had mine for 18 MTHS now and would not change it for the world.
Had this fault on my L322. I noticed on episode 1 that a fault was noted for a height sensor. That was the cause of mine. A small plastic lever that can break or seize. Quick and easy to change. Cheap fix for a Range Rover too 👍
A really excellent video, as you say a great confidence builder, with digital cameras/mobile phones, it is an easy thing to take lots of photos before bits are stripped off, that makes it much easier when re assembling if you are not familiar with the system, i notice the washers with the small flat cut on them mysteriously turned 180 degs in the last shots? Many thanks for posting this one! Chris B.
Love watching your videos mate, I took my 04 vogue for MOT last week and suspension was on middle setting for 12 months all good, then day of MOT it decides it's going to sink down on bump stops. + 3 amigos decided to come on on dash. ABS light etc. Got to get rear seat belt anchor points welded.
That doesn't look like an original Wabco compressor. More like a Chinese clone. Did this 'fix' with a kit from a well-known Scottish supplier on my L322 - the compressor does have an original Wabco with a manufacturing sticker from Dec 2004 which ties in with the registration date. It lasted maybe 4-5 months before the pressure static when filling fault returned. Compressor would run but wouldn't start increasing the air tank pressure until compressor temperature was over 45 centigrade. Stripped it lat week and the 'new' piston ring was in an awful mess - worse than the original ring I removed - and the cylinder head is now scored. Piston big and little end bearings are good so I bought a new cylinder head and piston ring which I hope to fit this weekend. Will see how it goes.
good question, the pump is semi sealed inside the metal housing, it will stop water for a while but may get in through the cable gland. What I would do if it got wet was to remove the cover (see my video) and use warm air to dry it. The water in the wheel well can be avoided by removing the rubber drain plug to allow water to escape.

@@allisgood.6191 thanks so much for your support and subscribe
Very pleasant individuals. I’m chasing the same problem.
Love Range Rover videos. Bravo 👏
Three cheers for Bagpiping Andy (I think that's his name) for making those piston seals available......look him up.
@@iandennis7836 I got the seal kit on Amazon amzn.to/4jaYPKY

Thanks so much for the encouragement! Really diligent of you to spot the washers!🙄

Good info thanks
What happens when the compressor gets wet?
