    I also have a Saab 9000 CD. It has "reading" lights for the rear seats on each side behind the rear doors. Very convenient and efficient. It shines directly on what you have in your hands, not somewhere in the middle of your eyes, ineffectively.
    Will have to look. Maybe something like that can be put in L322 as well.

Thankyou for showing the knee level footwell bulb change, The only one I have left to change over on mine, but mine seemed to be a lot tighter than yours so I bottled it.

      Hey Sam, I had to get my air compressor replaced recently. I wasn’t brave enough to attempt it myself. Thankfully I have a good LR Specialist near me that is way cheaper than the dealer, but still does a great job. For fun stuff, I got a rear ladder to put on. I’m a bit nervous drilling into the body, but one of these days, I will get it on. I am getting a Service Required message on the dash. I purchased the iCarSoft LR 3.0 scan tool to hopefully clear it. Thanks for checking in on me.

    And 2012 westminster black gloss wing vents also eady to fit. Finally get a 2012 colour coded surround grill . The standard is grey. The westminster has black surround. And if course the full led upgrade . All of which i did on my 2010 santorini black vouge se

    I was so excited about the interior lights I forgot to say another thanks for the brake light - mine has condensation inside so wanted a viable alternative and the logo puddle lights are ace too. I had the official Audi rings at vast expense on a previous car before they were copied on eBay etc.
    Did you put them on the rear doors too? I thought the projection angle would be off too much for the rears?

      I did try them in the rear doors and as you say the angle isn't right for them. When the doors are shut though, they project onto the rear passenger floor (a distorted image, but still!).

    Hi Sam, thanks for the L322 videos, I’ve learned a lot. Have you ever considered upgrading the reversing camera to a version with night vision? I’ve upgraded the reversing lights on mine to bright white LEDs but it still doesn’t really cut the mustard. I’m now considering a night vision reversing camera…. but the like for like replacements I’ve found are expensive at around £200.

      It wasn’t bad at all really. First job is to apply for VRT exemption through Revenue (can do that online), requires a few documents to prove that you owned it in the UK and will be moving over etc.

    Hi Sam
    As the L322 guru can I tap your knowledge. My 2011 4.4 TDV8 has developed a steering vibration in the last month or so at approximately 70 mph. I have had the front wheels balanced and it has made no difference. There is no vibration under braking and the car is limousine smooth as ever upto motorway speeds.
    At the last MOT in July it had an advisory on both Front lower suspension arm bushes as being worn. The car has only done about 3000 miles since so I can’t see that could be an issue.
    Any ideas?

    • @SamsMotors
      @SamsMotors  Рік тому +3

      Hi Andy,
      Before I read the 2nd part of your comment I was already thinking “lower front arms”. It’s a well known cause of vibration on the 322. If they were advised in July I’d say they’re the culprit!

      Many thanks for your input and advice.
      Have now had front lower arms both sides replaced as well as wheel balancing and the wheel wobble problem is getting worse if anything. Certainly a good shake at 70 ish (feels like front of car is trying to shake itself to pieces) and sometimes from as low as 50. Also, rather strangely, it can vary depending on whether you’re going uphill or downhill, but there isn’t a consistent pattern.
      Any more ideas. I’m wondering if it could be in the drivetrain somewhere? CV joint, UJ or maybe even a driveshaft.
      Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Think I’ll opt for your colour temp and order more as they’re better suited aren’t they. They do still appear brighter than the old bulbs which is an improvement.
