| Most likely the oil cooler or the gasket for the oil cooler. I have both done at different points on my MY20 4.4 SDV8. It is a long job as a previous poster has said. |

Further UPDATE...
One again the gas had all leaked out and it was discovered that there is a hole in the compressor. Under warranty, this is now being replaced. |

| Thanks Andy, I have had the diff serviced and this made no difference. I will ask the dealer about a software update. |

Hi,
Has anyone added a light to improve the, rather poor, reversing lights on a facelift L405? If so did you wire them via a tow bar electrics or direct in to the rear lights?
Thanks. |

| Hi Matt, many thanks for your response. I have to agree that due to the speed with which it stopped working it’s likely a component failure rather than a small gas leak. I will update once I have ta ... |
