I got around reliability problems of my 2010 L320 TDV8 (33,100km) by not driving the car - simple. Nature took over.








I have not driven my 2010TDV8 since April this year. I got tired of the regular reduced performance issue (lots of times per month ) and the audio system snap crackle and pop issue which occured every few weeks which the local dealer could not resolve. Plus I was stupid enough to install dynamat under the bonnet (not finished) and install OSRAM LEDFog 101 DRL units (not complete)

It was easier to just use my 2005 EP3 Honda Civic Vi Hatch which I have owned since new. 12 years old no parts replaced apart from brake pads and fluid (this year - naughty I know) and it drives like new.

I did find a few Redback spiders in the engine bay of the L320 which did not enthuse me to work on the car after dark.

Problem is I like my L320 and one day might get it back on the road.

excellent idea! mine spend the last 2 years around a total of one year at the dealership. it's a shame RRS 3.0 SDV6 HSE Lux
