Hi James love the footage. Music and scenery suits the car perfectly. Impressed you're more than happy to video your cars top side and underside. Just never had the complete trust to buy the L322. Sat down had a serious dilemma which way to go. Opted for a jaguar XJ X351. Regrets are there though. Keep up the videos.
Thanks Robert, It was quite a fun video to film so a pleasure to share it. While they are awesome when everything is working as it should be - there will be moments when they are painful to live with! However - I think that is the case with a lot of older high milage cars. Unfortunately they are all designed and built to a price point. I've heard lots of horror stories about Mercedes and BMW 4x4's of similar or newer vintage. Best advice I can offer to run one: find a good independent specialist to maintain it, where you can tackle jobs yourself, make sure you have breakdown cover, budget £1500/year in maintenance and preferably have a second smaller simpler car in reserve just in case (handy also for popping into town for milk - where the L322 might be a bit overkill!)
