This car has them thankfully.

For the other car I’ve managed to find the running boards but still need the brackets. I must come and get that wiring loom from you actually. I’d totally forgotten about that!

Do you need the brackets that go behind the front inserts for the mudflaps?

I'm trying to build a kit for the deployable steps, it's the folding brackets that I'm looking for unfortunately. They seem to be hard to get and very expensive Sad 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

As a change from rebuilding my L322 - this one came out of the garage for the first time in a while yesterday and was dropped off at the local specialist for it's 10 year service and 8th MOT.

It's has a clean bill of health at it's service and passed it's MOT with not even an advisory...

I guess it should really seeing as it was MOT'd at 10 years old with 24,991 miles on it.

Living inside and only coming out when it's going on long runs seems to pay dividends too as there's not even an advisory on the original discs and pads for corrosion or pitting Smile

Here's to the next 10 years... Smile 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

You will understand my bias, but L322’ s in Baltic blue are stunning when sparkly clean and reflecting the sunshine.
Beautiful.

I agree… one of my favourite colours for the L322.

The sparkle in the paint when it’s parked in the sun is delightful.

This one is going in for a 3 day paint correction and ceramic coating in October. It’ll be fantastic then.

We had an L322 convoy down to the local detailers on Wednesday evening to drop the 2012 off for a 3 day paint correction and ceramic coating.

Click image to enlarge


I got a phone call from the detailer this morning to say the battery was flat on the car. It usually lives in the garage plugged into a C-Tek conditioner so has never given us an issue. It's worked well as it's the original battery from 2012 but presumably with the doors being opened and closed it's at the point where it's had enough. I took the battery charger down and plugged it into the towing socket so it can charge whilst it's there until we can get it a new battery.

Here's a quick photograph taken inside his unit this morning Very Happy The car isn't finished yet and is due to be picked up later on tomorrow afternoon.



After 10 years, having never seen salt, snow or bad weather and having only covered 26k miles this car really does look perfect. The paintwork on it now is better then it was the day it was collected.

The Baltic Blue paint is gorgeous 😍





It'll be collected tomorrow, driven home and put straight inside with the battery conditioner connected and now won't be used until Spring. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

This must be the best condition L322 in the UK. Congrats!

I don't suppose you'd be willing to measure your rear number plate for me please? Im looking to get a full sized one but seems to be some options.

Thanks in advance

Thanks Very Happy

The rear plate was supplied by Rob at Duckworths.

It’s just the “large RR rear plate”.

Thanks Alan Smile

The weather has been crap here, hasn’t it!

This one came home yesterday, got blow dried and put back inside. It’ll likely sit on the battery conditioner and not turn a wheel again until spring now.

David, I'm sure I'm teaching you to suck eggs but make sure the underside, especially the brakes and suspension components are dry before locking it away, any water left there will corrode everything for months... Thumbs Up

Does look stunning.... Pete

When they go away wet I’ll usually run them around the block (6 miles) when it’s dry again. Thankfully the roads around here are too remote to get salted so it’s quite handy in some ways.

Must work though as it’s on the original discs and pads at 10 years old with no corrosion on them Smile

Appreciate the thought though Very Happy 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

What a brilliant idea for preventing water spots as well after washing. Never thought of that.

The main reason I do it is to remove the risk of adding swirls to the paint when drying.

Washing this one from start to finish is usually a 2hr process and that doesn’t include waxes or coatings. This ceramic coating should hopefully stop the majority of it sticking. It certainly seems to have done on the I-Pace anyway.
