I have a U.S. 2004 L322 with the BMW M62 mill, 112,000 miles. I use it pretty much exclusively for towing a camping trailer to remote mountain and desert locales, and therefore have tried to preventively replace some underhood items that were likely due for failure anyway, including the water...

BMW officially announcing new 2020 X5 M Competition model soon and shipping this Fall with about 625 hp. Again we have heard nothing yet about the 2020 SVR features let alone if there will even be one. Very disappointing.

Hi guys, I currently own a 2004 L322 and I absolutely love it. Its a beast of a car and so far I have used it for almost anything you can think of. Recently I decided to change the timing guides. It involves taking apart a large portion of the engine components and I decided to also change the...

After owning a dozen Classics and P38's I am now looking at 3rd Gen Rovers and wondering which version was more reliable, the 2003,2004,2005 with the BMW drive train or the later Jaguar versions? I worked for BMW as technician for many years up to 1990 so I have respect for their engineering but...

Found out the hard way that if you hear a banging noise from the Cam timing chain, is to open the engine and replace all 3 guides. Allso do the right thing and replace the mainchain and the mainchain tentioner. I only did 215000KM's in mine. The other chains and tentioners seems to be OK.It seem...

I’m thinking of enlarging the hole the fsr fit into. The heat sink is bigger and the fins twice as much. It looks like a longer lasting design. Anybody done the same successfully?

My starter motor solenoid is dead, and apparently is not available to purchase separate from the rest of the starer. Can anyone confirm whether starter motors from BMWs with the same M57 engine (i.e. 730, 530, X5, X3, etc.) will work on the TD6 L322? Beemers are a lot more plentiful on...

Hi folks, I have a P38 with the BMW M51 lump. I bought it with an overheat issue which (long story short) turnned out to be no less than 3 cracks in the head. Bought a recon head off the ebay, fitted it and annoyingly it is chuffing fumes passed injector 5. I had anealed the seals, so...

Greetings fellow Rover enthusiasts, long time/first time here. I've been looking for a mint low-mileage L322 from the BMW era for a while now and nearly pulled a trigger a few times, but faith always intervened. This time, however, I am fairly confident I'm getting one, having given a deposit on...

I had a shop that specializes in Land Rovers look at my RR 4.4 2003 that wont start. They concluded it was getting spark, and fuel at the cylinder, however, the cylinder wall is very scored that it cant build compression. (They scoped it and the pictures showed that). I am left with doing an...

Hello, . I'm new to this forum and I really need some help. I've got a Range Rover P38 with the BMW 2.5 diesel engine which will not start it just turns off. I left the car one evening perfect running the next morning the engine just turned over without starting. Checked for fuel...

Hi All- After about 20 years of BMW ownership (over 4 different cars), I might be ready for something new. I've never really been interested in SUVs, but the current RRS has caught my eye since it's introduction. My wife's interest in getting a Range Rover ,plus the recent addition of kids, is...

Jumping into a 2016 RRSport!!

Hi, My dad's old P38 sits standing since he passed, and when i go home to see mum once a year, I charge the battery, start it all up, take it for a run up and down our short private road a few times to free brakes and scrub disks etc., and then check everything is working and clean and detail...
