When I reach 115,000 subscribers there will be a treasure hunt where you can get a free car. So please click that subscribe button. Thank you!
Treasure hunt….has to be a civic type R….pirates favourite carrrrrrr
Are we to assume the free car is a 1:1 scale, not a dinky…!
Geoff what is the code if I make it to the end of this video?
Won't be a tough treasure hunt just search garages as you won't see a landrover anywhere else😂
Geoff, i made it to the end of this video..... (nothing else to do whilst awaiting recovery in my broken down range rover 🤡)
I wonder how many Land Rover vehicles have been recovered shortly after being stolen because they broke down and the thieves just abandoned them?
It begs the question….
The worst 4by 4 by far !!!
About 87%. Why? What are you saying? 😮
lol
A few no doubt.
Stolen, gets 4ft away from the scene, breaks down, sets itself on fire and then proceeds to flood itself to put the fire out. JLR puts the blame on you 🤣
I have a friend who used to be a service advisor at a JLR dealer who said even new vehicles that came in for there first service were accompanied with an A4 sheet full of problems to be sorted... He left there and started the same job description for a Lexus dealer and when I asked him how the job compared to his last he said it's so different it's not even funny ! Customers would come in for a 100k service and when quizzed if there were any problems that needed attention they said NO everything is working perfectly thanks ! Say no more !
Same as honda coming from kia/hyundai/mg. Honda are the most reliable cars i've worked on.
More BS...
I have to admit I am on my first toyota "budget lexus" now on 160,000 other than tyres, bulbs and wiper blades it's just the service. Need to find a good independent garage though as it's around £200 cheaper each time than main dealer!
If lexus can build reliable cars why can't other manufacturer's do the same. ?
@@knockschool not enough money in it. When i went from hyundai to honda i was asking what problems honda have and this was my daily work load at hyundai etc and i was shocked that it was mainly just servicing compared to what i'm used to.
Now i work on fleet doing peugeot, fiat and what junk literal junk and backward engineering cheap and nasty.
I've had a very positive experience with my local Land Rover dealership. There was a Lexus showroom next door.
What makes you think they want people out of cars and off the roads. This is all deliberate imo.
I had an interesting Landrover experience recently. Heading up the highway out of the city here, the traffic ground to a halt (on the uptrack) where looking across the highway I saw a lady standing next to her new Landrover with the bonnet up and an AA van in behind. While I waited a tow truck arrived an pulled in front to load the dead Landriver. Slowly our traffic lanes started moving and eventually up the hill around the bend we came across the source of our holdup, another new Landrover was being pushed by a bunch of people to clear the lane. Ive never seen dual failures of the same car simultaneously before. Maybe they all stopped everywhere.. lol
I never got the point of taking something meant for hard work and rough terrain, then turning the inside into something you wouldn't dare wear a pair of muddy boots in. I used my mate's 110 defender for deerstalking and shoot days for years. It had a fully metalled load bay, you could chuck 10 fallows in the back and then hose it out with the power hose used to fill the farm sprayer. You could get 3 in the front, 8 beaters in the back plus dogs and a few on top or sitting on the bullbar. It needed uj's frequently but never got stuck. That's what a Landrover's for, the new ones all look like a tart's boudoir. The old girl's still going, though semi retired now. The beaters used to call it the Deathstar on account of the amount of carcasses it used to carry. Final comment on JLR - looks great, don't work.
My 28 year old Discovery still runs well. I wouldn't touch a new one with a barge pole.
Oh how jolly,what,what.
It's just easier to make cheap crap and sell it to stupid rich people. They replace the buttons on the dash with a $10 touch screen and the idiots don't even realise that it's cost cutting.
Like a lot of "premium" brands, living on past glories.
If the “proper” Top Gear were still on the box, this is the sort of content they would run - if their legal team let them. It looks like a dodged a bullet a few years ago.
Yes Geoff is better than last waste of tv licence money on the new Topgear.imho

I used to be a staunch follower of Land Rover then I had a discovery 3 after as I’d previously had a discovery 1 and 2 series vehicles loved the older versions but this discovery 3 killed my entusiasm and my wallet it was the most techy land rover I ever had but I am now totally turned off them because of their inability to make anything reliable, I knew it would go this way eventually it’s why I’m now happy in my Toyota Land Cruiser better in every way no comparison JLR should get rid of the tech get shot of McGovern and bring in people who can make reliable cars that work this is the only way to save the brand
The CEO is clueless about how to run a company.
But this is quite common, TBH.
too late
Sounds like it's about to fail.

At 3:30 a little unfair, Geoff, 30 days is longer than most people will ever need, there's simply no need to pay for a whole year.
Plus it will be stolen on day 31 just as the clock strikes midnight and your insurance ended
If you pay monthly it's the same as paying 30 days at a time! It's called a direct debit! And can be cancelled at any time. So....
@@Frankie-c5x NO, it is not! Cancelling an annual policy when paying monthly incurs a penalty charge

@@tongey1 if you made the contract with a man/woman, companies/corporations can't make contracts with people.
It seems like these known faults are also known faults by JLR. Would they be covering something up ? Class action should be on the owners mind. Just like the Post office.
Josh is a massive tool for even considering another Range Rover.
just another lemming. showing everybody else in town who couldn't care less how good he is doing more than makes up for the hassle.
Desperate for an image...yeah hes a tool!
I don't know how Josh got his money but he's clearly not very bright.
@@ACW9442 unfortunately there's an epidemic of these 🤡
Wow great content, The consumer report says that EV's have almost 80% more problems and are less reliable than an equivalent combustion engines which is looking like the case as shown on your channel. Keep up the great work.
Not true but ok
Very true ,read the report. @@JD-29
I am a former Ford technician. Evs are less reliable and break down more. The suspension has to carry the battery and engine which are heavier than ICE power train.
Why did Chevy get rid of the volt hybrid? Because they were too reliable and Chevy wasn't making money. The Bolt has crappy batteries that need to be replaced at 12k a pop.....
Ford is cutting its production of mustang mache and f150 lightning because they are bleeding money repairing the old vehicles and have no parts for new and used vehicles..... sound familiar (JLR and tesla)
Josh has a Land Rover in the shop for three months, because parts aren't available. Josh wants to buy a new Land Rover. Well, that's on Josh if he does.. SMH
Josh just doesn't learn? Or maybe he's a narsasistic indivual who thinks he owns the road and likes giving folk that smug "I'm far more affluent than you"! Look. Or driving up Ur jaksey at 140 mph? Then slowing to answer text on his mobile! Josh sounds like a right snob! Seems to me like someone is trying to damage the brand! 😮
I find people like Josh unfathomable. Assuming he's genuine.
My thoughts aswell😂
Josh has worked out the only way to get a (temporarily) working one is to buy a new one. That's be good for about 8 days...
@@Frankie-c5x Absolutely spot on 😂
Yeah you get a free trespass notice on your fourth visit because they've got no solution for your steaming £100k pile of junk and you hanging around the showroom regaling punters with your ownership experience is damaging sales 🤣
I was looking for a Land Rover but my searches landed me at Lexus so far they have been above my expectations very good quality and treatment, services, reliability second to none.
Great to hear.
My 30 year old discovery is brilliant, no electronics, no dpf, no fly by wire, no stupid stretchy timing chain and .........it's greener than any EV!
Way ahead of the environmental trend too.
Famous for degradation into a small pile of brown metallic flakes 😆
ABSOLUTELY…… older cars still going = much less pollution than ANY EV…..!!!!!!!
Sounds like you have a 300Tdi then? Don't forget they had to get a recall due to misalignment of the timing belt tensioner because some of those went bang when the belt got shredded. Disco 1 is good but not without issues just it's old enough most have been sorted
@@landrover8327 oh I do know but can't imagine it would be done under a warranty though. Mine's a 200.....
Mine is a 300Tdi it was done under warranty, it also had the R380 gearbox destroy itself on the motorway due to a fault in manufacture where it didn't have some drilling for lubrication but that was rectified out of my own pocket. Absolute money pits but I wouldn't have anything else as if you keep on top of the issues they are true go anywhere car 👍
The biggest problem car makers have caused is ease of use.
I heard an advert the other day basically saving you looking for keys since you can open and start your car with a phone, great idea, now everyone with the right stuff can drive off with it.
Maybe make them secure again without apps!
It’s not that hard to make it secure these days with the technology we have, it is possible. Whether they actually implement proper security is another question. Clearly LR don’t bother with security
If they're having to choose between supplying parts to the assembly lines or the service departments then I suspect they're having supplier issues and may be, as a company, circling the drain. I'd give them another six months.
perceptive comment
They've not recovered from betting the farm on high volume diesel sales just as Dieselgate happened and the EU started ruining them with DPF rules etc. Now they've pretty much given up and are planning to go into Bentley world, electric only. Should have stuck to what they were good at.
Hi Geoff
With the decreased reliability like being able to ensure and pull back up, would it not be a good investment to purchase cheap, late-model land, Rovers, and sell them on as boat anchors for people to tie their boat to ?
Having a little fun at LRs expense is one thing but this is serious stuff and peoples livelihoods and paying customers rides depend on a resolution and quick!
Remember the old joke “what do you call a Skoda with twin exhausts? - a wheelbarrow”. At least mine is reliable and gets me from A to B safely and it’s still outside in the morning.
When I owned a Morris Marina I bought a second one to use for parts. Maybe Land Rover owners should do the same.
7:53 the face of the company. No one knows what it is and or doesn’t care these days
If having a Range Rover is such a pain in the arse what with the lack of reliability and no customer service Then having it nicked is probably a relief.
A good security check to have done is to see if there is another key registered to your car! Secondhand dealers might have had one made in case they needed to repossess!
In South Africa we have a decades old joke whenever someone says they are going on vacation in a land rover you ask what are they coming back in
Most car advers show cars being driven through scenic roads. The only thing working in that Advert is the model in the gold gown.
The rot started in the 90's when they ditched their history, and discovered the world of electronics.
YUP, tech, rocks and water are not a good mix.The way of the dodo.....Elitist styling and off road capability was never going to jive.Saying that, these things now break down on high streets.
Same thing happened to Mercedes. Electronics ruined them for decades.

Geoff I made it to the end of the video. I would also like to relate a story about a friend who owns a B.M.W x5 2015 model. Apparently there was a issue with the sunroof. It was deemed that a new one was needed. After some time, a replacement was not forthcoming due to supply issues. My friend contacted head of B.M.W customer service and a new one was despatched to the dealer within the day and fitted at half price. That is why my friend. People buy B.M.W.
Great anecdote!
In America Range Rovers and Jaguar are status vehicles that people lease for a year or two and then turn in for a new one. Everyone else sees them for what they are, a fancy car that will eventually have expensive engine repairs. Seems like it might be the same in the UK.
A Land Rover is aspirational. Since when??? Genuinely I never knew, I just thought they were hideously tall box cars.
-"Leave it" said May...
No point collecting the car...
Imagine being a customer service / social media person for JLR. Every day you’ll drive into work, not in a JLR product obvs, you need to get into work, and you know that your day will consist of utter misery created by a product that’s so far below par that it’s rapidly becoming a music hall joke. Is it time to resurrect the old Lada / Skoda jokes? Anyone got a filler cap for a Land Rover? Yeah, that sounds like a fair swap…..
Anyway, imagine being that poor JLR member of staff, you’ve got no recourse, no effective comeback, your customers know that the product is piss poor and you can’t source the parts and I imagine that head office have left a phone in a small room all on its own, it rings and rings, no one hears it, no one answers it, emails bounce back, customer service managers can’t get through, can’t change anything for the better, I hope that they are all earning a decent wage in order to make up for the fact that their customers are getting increasingly pissed off.
They get stolen so thieves can brake them for parts and provide to customers who can't get parts from JLR directly. Simple. JLR actually creating a black market for their own illegal parts. Hilarious 😂
Every cloud has a silver lining:- At least those cars that are broken down won't be stolen.....# WinWin
R. They might be flooded though? 😮
Low mileage too!
Geoff I made it to the end of the video! Interestingly JLR/Tata stocks are higher than ever somehow, 30% higher in the last months, wonder if they're refusing to do repairs and buy parts to inflate their price before going bust
Thanks Geoff
I was stuck behind a new Jaguar SUV in the middle of the road no long ago. They gave me the middle finger because I gave them the horn to move. Turned out the car turned itself off and they could not start it again 😂.
Way back- in about 1978- my brother bought a brand new MG Midget.
Inca yellow with black rubber bumpers, delivered to the dealer with 26 miles on the clock.
He got rid of it after about 10 months, because he only actually got to drive it for a total of 4 weeks. The rest of the time it was in the dealership, being repaired or, more commonly, waiting for a spare part that couldn't be sourced because Longbridge was on strike again.
You'd think things would have improved in 45 years..................
The number on the back of JLR is not the power derivative but the maximum number of hours of ownership before it breaks down
Always thought that the rise in theft of Range Rovers was JLR trying to avoid warranty costs, but it seems the only way to get spare parts!

Hi Geoff: just thought you may be interested: I was driving down the A19 near York this afternoon on Shipton Road southbound. Near a roundabout at the end of Shipton road there was a totally burned out car in the layby on the northbound side. Police had closed the road, possibly for forensic investigation. The car was the sole vehicle in this incident. The car was basically a burned out shell when I passed it, the driver had apparently slightly burned hand/ hands. In the news items online in all the York news it did not state the type of vehicle anywhere. I believe it may possibly have been a Tesla, or very similar shaped EV. There did not appear to be a radiator, ICE engine etc, the bonnet section was just collapsed burnt ashes on the ground. I highly suspect this may have been an EV; however, it is very suspicious how the news and media have not mentioned the type of vehicle.
An ICE vehicle usually does not burn out the complete vehicle - a classic sign of an EV vehicle fire.
Copied this out into my notes app to remind me to look for local news stories tomorrow...
RR has been in the garage for three months but still in "two minds" about getting another one?? 😂😂
Can't fix stupid
He was out of both those minds. Mind you, you cant be that stupid with only one head!!
Geoff I made it to the end of this video. I think in summary that the only happy people are from abroad and in receipt of the stolen RRs. I wonder if they are more reliable 😂
I am a surviving former owner of a then new Disco 3. In the back of the owner's manual there is a local bus timetable. Apparently the Range Rovers come with Taxi Charge dockets to get you home.
When I travelled by car in Eastern Europe, I just had 3rd party insurance. No-one wanted to steal an RHD car, even if it was a 3 litre mercedes diesel estate.
Geoff, I made it to the end of the video.
My Jag F-Pace has developed a “feature”, whereby I can turn on the interior light using the touch switch above the rear view mirror, but then the same touch switch won’t turn it off - you have to switch the car off and lock it before it goes out. The local JLR dealer is looking to swap out the light module, but weren’t going to as the car has a dash cam fitted - BY JLR who sold me the car 🤐🤐🤐
jeepers lmao, thats tragic. sell it quick before used prices go further down and get a lexus
@N4CR5 I have a friend with a Lexus, and he us waiting for parts for his gearbox that failed. My late Dad worked for Landrover Ltd, and a Jag was always his ambition that he never got to drive. I'll take my chances thanks 🤞🤞🤞
4:33 she hasn’t even got a crowbar
Shes uses her chin instead
Some which have trackers fitted are recovered, but are usually beyond repair as the thieves have wrecked them looking for the transmitter.
Just look at the recent news in the US concerning JLR , they are cutting most JLR dealerships because of the massive drop-off of sales so current dealers are choosing to switch over to brands that make money.
Spare parts are easy. Rob them from unsold cars. I made it to the end of this video.😂

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE NAILED IT. That's what's coming next!
HIS not her in any way.
I'm trying to start this conspiracy theory, have you ever stopped to think that it's JLR staff stealing these cars for spare parts? 😂😂
My XK 4.2 came back from Jaguar (after 5 months waiting for a fuel pump module) with parts missing. The battery cover boot trim, which covers, battery, sat nav dvd and electrics. Total denial from the dealer that it was ever in the car. Also missing were clips and bolts to hold down plastic covers over engine and there were chips and scratches down the passenger side of the bodywork where it had been parked for months and dinged by other cars doors. Absolutely useless. I use a Jaguar specialist now, faster, cheaper and more honest and reliable. JLR are useless.
@@mickaugood9820 That is shocking, my comment was meant as a joke but perhaps nearer the truth?

My neighbours boss has 2 new defenders and Range rover vogue also new , all 3 bought from JLR direct and he tried getting insurance through Land rover, but apparently if you live on Home counties there not touching them! No one wants to insure them in the southeast due to theft. They won't even insure them! Ended up paying an astronomical amount.

Question does this land rover have the bonnet tapered ? If it does it's called a light weight .( dont know why , because they are heavier than the standard one) 😮😮😮
Why dont JLR remove the backlisted parts off some of the many they have sitting in their showrooms with no customers wanting to purchase them
That song "good bye my old friend" plays in my head when ever i see this JLr stuff lol I made it to the end of the video.. tea, milk 2 sugars plz lol
I remember when i had to order front and rear wildshieldwipers from JLR dealership. They came from England and cost more that 70€, when nextdoors car accessory store sold them for 20€ for your average Hondas and toyotas. If i had enough money to buy luxury suv i would absolutely avoid Land Rover and buy a Lexus instead.
We had a brand new Jaguar XJ Sovereign TDVi in 2008 and it spent more time at the dealership than on the road. By the time it had done 1,500 miles it had gone through 3 transmissions (ironically the transmissions were ZF - a German make). I wrote directly to the head of JLR and that really set the ball rolling. Amazingly the next replacement transmission was perfect but the car had so many other faults. We eventually sold the car at 5 years old with only 5000 miles on it and purchased a Mercedes-Benz. We have stayed with Mercedes since then and have never had any problems with the 4 that we have owned. Got to admit that the Jaguar dealership were excellent at customer service but crap at repairing cars!!!
Clarkson's funny quote when commenting on his range rover in the Bolivia special. "Range rover designed by Charles Spencer King, who was unquestionably a genius. Unfortunately it was then built in the Midlands. Everything was that'll do, that'll do. An unbelievable piece of design ruined by monkeys"

They should call Range Rover, Lack of Range Rover.
I bought Land Rover products in the mid 90s, same issues then. The director of Land Rover went on tv and said they know about the issues but couldn’t stop the production to fix them as they had to fulfil orders. I have never touched a Land Rover product since. I buy only Japanese now and have very little issues
Has anyone written JLR to inquire on the "model's" gender. Would be neat to receive communication from their company as to whether the golden dress person is a "man/woman/x/custom/other/etc.' or what alphanumeric code the person and company identify as. As a marketing expert, I for one would want to know who my target audience is. rofl. Strength! GODspeed!
My 2023 Defender van has been fine, no issues. Insurance went up though, but it also went up by a similar amount on my Golf.
Notice on the insurance. We want to set up an insurance company so we cream extra money from your premiums.
At no point do we mention fixing the secondary problem of why they are so easy to steal.
The primary problem of course are the toe rag thieves.
The JLR response of the recall 'It is not a recall, it is an enhancement'...
This was hilarious and enjoyable
Geoff, I made it to the end of the video- the next morning. By the by, I have a 2011 Range Rover Sport (yep, Disco with a body kit) which I bought in 2015. Put 80k miles on it, and to be fair it's been ok. About £3k worth of warranty work done in that time, but has never broken down. The thing that really boils my piss is the £59 a month to tax the bloody thing!
its not just insurance on new cars , my mate paid under 400 quid last and now its 2000 quid for the renewal ,its on a disco2 that twenty years old ,how do they come up with that

I once was driving in icy conditions and I took my foot off the accelerator pedal and just touched the brake pedal and skidded about 50 meters down the road coming to a stop just in front of a learner driver on their test, I know it was a learner because the name of the driving school was the person I learned to drive with 20 years earlier and it wasn't him in the passenger seat.
"Some say"
My 1984 series 3 is still going strong😂
It’s the parts manufacturers that are the problem not JLR assembly so much, JLR basically just screw shit together, I was employed by an agency specifically to inspect one item at a firm in Studly Warwickshire,( on the left going towards Brum, begins with an R)because they were just making scrap, I had to inspect & repair seat pans, holes wouldn’t line up, bad for quick assembly, and the holes for the seat belts was so sharp and serrated it would cut through the belt, when I asked if it would be cheaper to make new tooling I was told JLR wouldn’t give them time or a price that would warrant a break in production, I had a bollocking one day because I hadn’t repaired enough that day and the lorry was waiting , if he didn’t arrive on time they would refuse them, so it was my fault that they were making scrap components that couldn’t be delivered on time, I had to adjust and repair every single component that day, 16 pallets, 16 on a pallet, the was one Polish guy who was drilling holes with the tip broken off the drill and had hadn’t noticed. After 3 months I quit, basically I was an inspector that they didn’t want to inspect because it was causing problems.
This is a very condensed post of what happened
What the marketing dept needs an overhaul the whole company needs an overhaul
Another great video informing the public of whats going on.
I would so not get a Range Rover now.
A company that can be so stupid to allow a their vehicles to be stolen so easy.

Whenever we hear about massive problems currently, there is always the Tata group behind it. Bad banking service in Germany -> IT run by Tata. Bad cars of once famous brands with no spare parts available-> Tata Motors. Steel plant closing down -> Tata Steel.
Well, ever since my service writer at Audi told me that her boyfriend, who is a JLR mechanic, forbade her to buy a Land Rover, I don't even look at them anymore. Way to ruin your reputation when customers at other brand dealerships are educated about the quality at JLR.
About 15 years ago, an Audi salesman told me that LR owners are the best prospects because 1) they have money and 2) they know their vehicles are junk with low resale values and therefore will take an Audi jacket in trade.
My neighbour waited 11 months for his Range Rover, after constant issues with the immobiliser and the emergency brakes applying themselves, which JLR could not fix, he returned the car and now drives a Nissan that cost less than half of what he paid for the disappointing Range Rover.
