Hi all.
I'm starting to look at an L405 to replace my L322. It seems that very few on Autotrader list the deployable towbar, and I'm unsure whether that is because very few have it, or just that it ... |

Hi
As the title really - I'm basically curious whether wheels from my L322 will fit an L405? I'm considering changing my car and have a set of winter wheels; it'd be good to know they'd fit without ... |

My 2008 L322 is showing its age. Yesterday this involved the driver's side side-step collapsing into a heap of rust...

I'm basically after the same type again - blac ... |

OP here.
I've just realised I never came back with the eventual solution... Basically it turned out to be a badly corroded earth strap somewhere under the car. My local indy replaced that, and now i ... |

Hi
Yesterday I noticed that my car was ever so slightly 'lazy' when cranking. Very difficult to describe, but it just didn't have the same urgency as normal.
It is a L322 3.6 TDV8 2007. I've own ... |

OP here.
Ok. All finished. For now at least...!
My only snag was that the new carrier I ordered for one side didn't fit at all (I'm presuming I somehow managed to order incorrectly rather than a ... |

Thanks.
I'm not planning to replace any friction parts unless someone comes along to tell me these are shot... I'm replacing a carrier on one side and a caliper on the other. Both rear.
Taking it ... |

I've had everything to bits again - and checked both sides properly this time. I've discovered that the driver's side caliper piston is seized solid, the the carrier and pins are movin ... |

I've recently realised I've got some binding going on on the driver-side rear brake. Last weekend I took the caliper off, gave everything a really good clean and got rid of the considerable ... |
