If people, get so upset at something so trivial as calling a Range Rover a truck , I think there are more important things in life they should get upset at. Anyhoo I’m enjoying the Range Rover video regardless 😂😂😂 what grade sandpaper did you use to wet sand the headlights? They look like new.🏆

[@bobthebarsteward]

Like calling it a Jeep, that's really, really bad......

[@BarryCollinson-g1q]

Hi Johnny, here in rural Northumberland we refer most 4x4 vehicles as trucks

[@edwardfrench9925]

I used to have a L322. Lovely car. Anyhow I cannot offer any great insight to your gearbox issue. Two things that come to mind are when the l322 starts it does a transfer box test (cycles the high/low range box) to ensure it works as earlier models (p38). Had a tendency to size through lack of use. This happens on engine start so perhaps related to no fault engine off and something being detected on start up. The other thing was the idea that the gearbox was recently serviced so it can’t be anything to do with that. From my memory the forums were full of debate about whether to touch the gearbox for a service as very few people did it correctly. I considered it but was contemplating taking it to ZF in Germany. I certainly wasn’t going to let a local outfit do it. One could argue lots of fresh oil and filters are better than none but the consensus seemed to be the gearbox was so sensitive there was a big risk. Perhaps something wasn’t right with than service and something is wrong. Not sure if this late l322 was still a sealed for life gearbox but I didn’t touch mine but then again she also wasn’t a tow car. Mine was an untouched gearbox, both factory turbos and ran wonderfully at, IIRC, 160,000mkles. One thing I did do was fit a bigger 110amphr battery. Just fits. Anyhow I really enjoy your videos and hope you get her sorted. You’re very brave with that door sill loom!

[@wolfgangezeh5021]

I was thinking along the same line. What if during the gearbox service something was not done right?

[@1chish]

Owners of P38s like me were all probably shouting 'WATER LEAKS'. They leaked through the air intakes in the front plenum chamber and filled up a similar channel. This is the next generation L322 and post 2010 used an updated Jaguar electrical system which was actually pretty reliable. But wires don't like water and the L322 did leak (like the Disco 3) so I hope you spent time finding where it actually came from rather than assume it was the sunroof. But that looks a really good one and for £3k you stole it!

[@next0845]

Easy to brush by the leak saying he thinks it’s an old leak, but we all know it still leaks 🧐

[@soggybottom3463]

Really enjoyed this one, this is such a real world scenario and that is the heck of a lot of "truck" 😅 So unsurprised to see a lot of the snafus caused by a drowned section of loom along the sill, great spot and sensible resolution. Looks like that section could do with a drain, would have been very tempted to fit one to prevent reoccurence. You are so getting there, Here's hoping for a clean sheet. 3 grand, I mean, COME ON!!!! 👍🤗🤗

[@williamprobert5124]

The cup holder is by the knob ive seen d3s when people have split coffees on them and corrode the pins on the plugs wouldn’t hurt to pop it out strip it and clean it. It’s the same as a d3 terrain response knob if you could borrow one to try it

Hi Johnny, another enjoyable vlog & as ever really appreciate your attention to detail & patience in tackling the faults on this RR. Headlights really do look mint now..Hopefully you will get to the bottom of the gearbox ⚠️ fault & someone has a solution. All the best 👍🏻

[@bobthebarsteward]

Just did my wheel nuts a few weeks ago, lots of chiselling to get the covers off so a firm grip could be made on the inner bolt head. Apparently they're 7/8", not 22mm, which is why they go bad, the 22mm socket is slightly larger and when the tyre fitters go at them with a windy-gun it shifts the outer jacket. My old X5 had a gearbox fault which was untraceable, codes indicated the transfer box, turned out to be the body to drivetrain earth cable was corroded. Check your earths.

[@molnjoe1613]

When your working under the bonnet put it into "access" mode pop the struts off then either side hinge goes back and locks in place it gives you so much more space to get to things especially the battery

[@cliveprocter3698]

My old boss had a Landrover Freelander, his grandchildren called it a Jeep. Now that is annoying.

[@Ropey91]

Lovely truck you’ve got there mate 😉 😂 Great content as always, love catching the glimpses of the Mondeo in the background, any plans for an update video on that in the near future?

[@darrianwilson6545]

Hiya, up here in parts of Fife we refer to 4x4s as Chelsea Tractors 😅

[@adamswire9152]

I've a a few Range Rovers and all are wonderful but bloody frustrating. I'd take it into a field and go through all the transmission options and rev range. Use hi and low, traction, hill descent the works. Range Rovers seem to sulk and if you don't use a facility they have, they tend to go on strike! If you've had a recent gearbox service, there is a possibility that some tiny speck of smutchz has been disturbed and is now slightly blocking a valve, but only enough to trigger an error message when the engine is running. Also, they are very picky about battery voltage, which can cause some 'apparent' errors. Water ingress causes fun times too. A lot of police and governement spec rangies had no sunroof for this very reason. (And manual transmissions) Good luck, they are awesome vehicles. (when they work)

[@johnlavelle1337]

Great work as always Johnny. Im sure you will solve the issue 👍

[@deanriley1284]

You got some patience I will give you that much! Another well put together video!

[@recreativesigns4571]

[@michaelhynds8035]

Well done Johnny, tricky work those cars although they are truly stunning.

[@HK.Builds]

I fixed a broken Canbus system on a BMW X5 and I gave up trying to find the broken wire. I had access to wiring diagrams and continuity tested from the furthest module back (boot area) all the way to the ECU, I found continuity on one Canbus wire but the other one had nothing (they run in pairs) . Oddly enough it had continuity between other modules. Long story short, I spliced and soldered into one module and ran a new wire back to the ECU and this resolved the Canbus issue. And then fast forward, it turns out water was getting into the back doors because of a dodgey door card membrane (common bmw issue) and this rotted the wires under the carpet. I would never ever have guessed that. Wiring issues are a pain.

[@LozzaUKFTM]

Very methodical Johnny well done m8.

[@brianellis1257]

Check your struts are correct as there are cheap replacements that just have a simple resistor to fool the system and this can throw up the fault you’re experiencing.

[@CraigK80]

Nice truck 🛻 reminds me of my friend chuck, he also had a truck bought it for a buck. What a truck 😂 great vid mate. Keep up the good work. 💪 🇬🇧

The wheelnut issue is common to jaguars and fords to.had a hell of a job with my 2004 xj8 but for about 35 quid on ebay i got a full set of chrome ones with 5 year warranty.job done.why they created nuts with a metal cap on i have no idea.still i wont be getting thst problem ever again.i recentley discovered this channel.its great,really enjoy it.

[@1chish]

The earlier P38s used a similar stainless steel covered nut. Mine has over 200,000 miles and just one gave me trouble a week ago. Maybe JLR 'economised' ....

[@noelcahill6707]

Mate them new nuts where u get them

[@malcolmscott9566]

Not sure if this helps but you may want to check for any corrosion on the plug connector on the transfer case control module. Not an uncommon issue on these trucks and can cause similar symptoms to what you are experiencing. Maybe worth a look. Best of luck.. .

[@vancogocevski767]

Another great video m8. Those head lights look better than new. I keep wishing i lived next door to you more and more :)

[@djneils100]

I certainly wouldn't be using that "specialist" again if they thought the AD fault was a 'broken wire'

[@johnmitchell8242]

I don't know much about cars, but having owned a jaguar xf for the past year, im starting to learn a bit more. Is there a similar way to reset the gearbox like a jag? Ignition on, without your foot on the brake, then holding the accelerator down for 30 seconds. It cleared the gearbox fault warning on my xf.

[@simonbuckingham752]

Maybe an ignition related relay not working properly?

[@scottlampe70]

all i could suggest with the gearbox is maybe a vacuum issue which might be masked when the engine is not running. apart from that, give LR Time a message.

[@gilberesrepairs]

Just thinking out loud… the gearbox fault only appears when the engine is running or the flywheel is rotating. What sensors pick-up motion on the flywheel or rotating items 🧐 Maybe just another avenue of fault finding to go down 🤷‍♂️ Good luck 🤞 Sandy.

Great job with RR! Did you consider switching bottom seats driver with passenger to hide this cracks?

[@richlee5578]

Well don’t know if this’ll help but jaguars can come up with gearbox fault but the actual fault has nothing to do with the gearbox believe it or not it was the actuator on the turbo sounds daft I know

Also sounds like that “specialist” is shockingly bad. They’d have let you throw so much money trying to solve that. Any true specialist would’ve advised the ride height sensor a first thing.

[@assettrader1587]

You may not be surprised to know, that many non franchise Land Rover specialists, are pretty good on the spanners, but diagnosing " elderly"electronic issues not so much. This is why so many just chuck new components at a vehicle, hoping for the best, no wonder then, there are so many Range Rovers out there with unsolved warning lights showing. Having said that, I do believe Johnny boy is tenacious enough to get to the bottom of the problem. Lets all hope so, he deserves a break.
