After watching a number of YouTube videos about the L322, it would seem that the list of faults in my previous post are quite normal for this vehicle. As expected really for a 12 year old Land Rover. I will set about resolving them and update my blog as I do so.
But whilst I was YouTubing I came across a great site created by a like minded individual – Sam’s Motor & Machine. As well as some superb vids about fault finding and fixing, there are also a couple of vids on simple/cheap upgrades for the L322. These simple upgrades add some modern features/ bling at little cost. All the components were sourced from AliExpress, the Chinese version of EBay, and are really cost effective even after shipping costs.
- Replaced the high beam H7 halogen lamps with high power LEDs – what a huge difference in light output and at the same temperature/colour as the xenons.
- Replaced the rear reversing lights with LED – much, much brighter.
- Replaced the rear boot space lights with LED modules (3) and a 4th under the drivers bulk head.
- Replaced all of the interior incandescent lamps with LED including the number plate lights. Much improved visibility all around and it also adds a crispness to contrast the dark interior.
- New “autobiography” arm rest adjusters. Replacing the old Ford black plastic with some milled steel.
- New puddle lights with the Land Rover logo
- New front side indicator repeaters with a dynamic rolling effect.
- Replacement mud guards as off-side front ripped.
