Bet that title confused a few of you. I was talking to our benevolent admin and I'd like to see if I'm the only person interested in expanding the forum to include L322s? I found this place based on hushed whispers and backroom rr.net horror stories.

So I have a 2008 L322 HSE US spec. Yes, I'm from 'Murica, yes, I am embarrassed, no I won't defend the great Cheeto toad dictator (Drumpf). So I've had some minor issues but forums helped me but I'm a bit sick of rr.net's admin. And how can I not see if this group wants my kind here. All new issues, great error message syntax, and more BMW/Jag crossover issues.

What do you guys think? Yes I will buy you a pint when I make it to the UK next since I know how to bribe Rover drivers.

I don't have a problem and we do have 4 or 5 L322 owners registered. Main problem is that the majority of us here own P38s so that is what we have experience of and gets spoken about. We can offer suggestions based on experience rather than what we can find (and you could too) by using Google. However, in saying that diagnosing a fault is the same no matter what you are talking about, you work out the correct sequence of things and stop when it stops. It's one of those things that you either have or you don't in the same way as some people become engineers and others become artists. We've all got RAVE and that covers the L322 so working through a problem is no different, we just won't have the benefit of having been there.

There is one thing though, and I have recently been over to France a couple of times to maintain a P38 belonging to a French resident originally from Florida and she did the same. They are Range Rovers made by Land Rover, a Rover is one of these.......

Thanks for the welcome. Sounds like I may not have introduced myself well enough. I have lived in Sweden, France, and Cuba. I've had a rover to drive around and im familiar with how Land Rover split from British Leyland. But I'm also a lazy american. I can't be bothered to say Land Rover over and over. I'll switch to Landy then since I will continue to be lazy. It's in my nature. I also drive to the shops across the road from my house.

I digress. I understand a majority of folks here have P38s. I was thinking that it would be nice to expand the community to others of us disillusioned by the mods of other sites. I know that it will be a slim community to start but a bit of experience, manuals, rave, and logic and maybe we could expand to other generations of RRs.

I will have to stay on my toes with you but that is what makes online communities fun. You have to be a robot on other sites. I can just here Dt. Friday asking for 'Nothing but the facts ma'am'.

My sister got an A reg Metro when she was 18 (she's a bit older than me). Had a Betty Boop sticker on the bonnet. Went out one morning and someone had taken the windscreen out to steal the radio. Literally just popped it out of the rubber and stood it next to the car. That's a thief with too much time on their hands.

You've given me an inclination to go and look for a Mini Metro now, so I can spray it 602 Oxford Blue and mount it on a roof rack. That way when Goth Truck does develop issues I can winch it down on its davits like a lifeboat...

This forum seems pretty good for L322 information :- http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/ . The official unofficial kid sister has had a 2003 TD6 for 3 years now and expected me to know about them!
