- Thought I would do a video on my L322 ownership journey so far! Loving every moment ! Hope you enjoy the video :) Stay tuned for a cool series coming here soon! All will be revealed in the next video..
Had my 07 TDV8 for 9 years, had the alternator replaced,oil cooler,but that is about all, I love it,as JC and HM say, it's peak Range Rover!
Brilliant!! Totally agree.. Thanks for sharing!
I just bought one, (07, TDV8 3.6) 165,000 miles on it. I've put 5000 miles in 1 month. I just did 800 miles in 1 day (Shropshire to Taunton, to North Scottish Highlands). I also have a 2020 Audi SQ7 - i prefer the L322 for these long journeys. For years, I've been 'anti' Range Rover, but i really like it. (I like the ignition key position too!)
Thanks! I recently bought a 2002 L322, literally everybody told me not to. So I just did it. Already love it. The cooling hose tore in Spain, but well 35 degrees celsius, who would have guessed.
I think I'll love it as much as you do after 6 months. Thanks for the super positive story!
Best
Great stuff! Glad you’re hooked ha.. thanks so much for watching :)
Have a 2003 V8 Petrol. M62 BMW engine which is, if serviced, a very robust engine. Service it myself regularly so costs are minimal. Everything works Inc the air suspension. Just did 5000 Mike's around Europe and UK with 5 people and luggage, and didn't miss a beat. Did long stretches and got out feeling fresh. 2 years in and no plans to part with it any time soon. 150,000 miles and will comfortably do another 50k
I bet it sounds very nice!! Sounds like an awesome trip, Thanks so much for watching!
@Bennettswheels pleasure. Yes it was a great trip
I had the same platform. M62m is the motor the m62 has no vanos. Maybe they put that in the uk models better motor less timing chain and guide issues and yeah vanos. I sold mine after doing that work as well as much more. Motor was still strong as all. The transmission was starting to go a common issue with them at high mileage.
I have just bought a l322.three months motoring.not missed a beat.no lights.probably the best car I have had.and I have owned three range rovers.
They are so good!! 👍
Great to hear positive comments about the Range River! Way to many negatives when it’s often no more that misinformation from the rumour mill!! I have had 3 supercharged V8’s with the last 2 being Sport SVR’s and I just love them with no issues!!
Awesome!! Yes definitely have to live with one to really give a true opinion! Thanks for watching 👍
I daily a 2012 westie with the TDV8, it's immense, I've not had any major issues with it, nothing above serviceable issues, brake pads/discs, bushes and CV boots, never had any expectations about it not being good on fuel, but 28-30mpg for a near 3 ton V8 is alright in my opinion, my only bug bear with it is the fact it has no Bluetooth audio out the box, but £30 for an adapter off Amazon, it's all good, it stands out at the land rover shows between the Defenders and Discos, especially with the roof tent on it 😂
That’s awesome! Amazing cars. They really do stand out and tick all the boxes 👍
I had my 4.4 bmw motor for 7 years loved it. But with age the issues did pile up. Still one of the best driving SUV,s I've owned. I sold it with transmission issue and steering column issue again. 178,000miles on her. It wasn't worth fixing cost vrs what it's worth.
I’m on my second landrover product and I absolutely love them! Couldn’t imagine driving anything else. I currently drive a new Defender! A tank!
Awesome! Love the new defenders! 👍
As an owner of a similar-aged LR , I am never worried about repairs. Actually just spent a small pile of loot on new belt, tensioners and water pumps on my V8.
1. Car was paid for years ago, 3 years old for a massive discount off new.
2. No depreciation to worry about. No interest payments.
3. Annual repairs/upkeep costsare the same as 1 or 2 months' payments on a new one.
4. Not precious about throwing surfboards, wetsuits, fishing rods etc in it.
It's simply worth far more alive than dead for me, and will continue to for a long time to come.
We’ve got two daily drivers my wife’s got the 3.6 TD V8 2010 and I drive a 2003 4.4 petrol both awesome cars
Great stuff! 👍
I have a tdv8 09 plate 3.6 with 214000 miles on it . Best car I've had .Still pulls like a tank on cocain 😂
Haha amazing!
Hi, liking your vids, I bought a TDV8 4.4 In March, absolutely love it, owned my last Range Rover in 1986-1989 always wanted anther, I know you say "an old man's car" but I am old. going to get it undersealed next week, try and make it last a bit longer, I don't have the problem with the dangling keys as its keyless start so normally keep in my pocket, good luck with yours, all the best , SJ.
Thanks very much for watching Steven! I love “old man’s cars” I’m not a huge fan of most modern motors.. I was probably born in the wrong era! Jealous of the keyless start.. although there is something quite nice about cranking the ignition with a key..under sealing is on my list for this year too, like you say it’s good to make them last! All the best, Mike :)
Absolutely loved your video, especially the things you didn't like,what a laugh,I think it's the case that there are good and bad with all cars,and you've got a good one , look forward to seeing your next video
Thanks very much! Really appreciate the positive feedback, completely agree with you. You know when you’ve got a good one! All the best. Mike :)
I daily drive my 4.2 SC RRS. Its a dream.
Awesome 😎
The Ultimate 4x4 !
I totally agree!! Thanks for watching!
I bloody love mine. 02, 4.4 V8 petrol. Just a wonderful weekend family car for trips to Wales/Scotland. 👌🏻👌🏻
Nice!! Awesome stuff 👍
@@Nuecarautomotive fancying a 5.0 sc next. 💪🏻
Any L322 maintained and kept running is waaaay greener than any EV. Save the planet, buy a Range Rover.
The EV thing is for another video haha. It winds me up! Would love to drive a 5.0 charged!
How much is the insurance out of interest?
@@nfifa6958 I’ve sold it now but about £500-600 for the 02. I now have a 2011 Autobiography and that’s about £1500. What a machine though!
Not one issue yet, I bought a good code reader programmer that does everything and it's been a god send for when things go wrong.
Great stuff! Good to hear positive things about these cars! Yes, I too bought a scanner.. I went with the icar soft version. Haven’t used it yet but good to know it’s there! 👍
Which one did you buy David? I'm on the look out for a good one
@@wafty6435 Go for the GAP IID Tool
Yes, were to find morethings to hate about this car!!!😂 Sold my beloved one two weeks ago in Serbia, now i will buy my fourth L322 and it will be the 4.4 TD, the swiss registration will be counted in gold bars but what can i do... 😅 once an L322 always one! Great Vid! Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching! Enjoy your 4.4 😃
Loved these for ages but daily a LC100 because I’ve been too scared to buy British lol. Might have to revisit these 🤔
Definitely a plunge but I personally have no regrets !
I feel the same 2011 4.4 TDV8 - only consumables (struts) and a headlight washer - over 18 months
Good stuff! 👍
How on earth have I ended up here? I'm broke.
I stayed and watched all of it though. Noticed you're growing your channel. Good luck!
The insurance on these are crazy though.
Thanks so much! Means a lot. Yes they’re not the cheapest things to run, but they offer very good value for money 👍
smart looking L322, love the grill :)
Thanks !!
I purchased a 4.4 tdv8 at Christmas within the first 3 months alternator went then battery but just serviceable items would not be without it 😂enjoy
Thanks a lot for watching! I would love to try a 4.4 and see what the difference is!
Mine did too!
What was the knocking noise ? Wipers ? 😂🤘🏻🤘🏻. Rad vid
Haha I was going to mention that 😂 I need new ones.. bloody Land Rover 😂
I've had my 4.4 (04) vogue for around 18 months, I only bought it because it was on LPG. The guy had it up for £2k and it had a gearbox issue ( couldn't move the gear selector) I googled it on you tube and there is a lever under the leather shift gaiter. I got it home on a recovery truck and did the you tube hack and you know what it went into every position effortlessly. I ended up paying £1300. The guy had literally treated it so well. I've had to replace the steering angle sensor and the HVAC resistor. I try to do a job as and when I can, mostly I do it myself to save money. Planning a few upgrades.
Bennett 3 month test 🤣
Awesome video Mikey
Sometimes it doesn’t even stretch to 3 months.. 😂
hi~ May i ask you to your roofrack information. my country have not many information to rangerover.
Hi. I got mine off eBay UK. I think they were about £80? They are good! Hope that helps you. Mike :)
Hi great video I loved it
It baffles me to this day they only put the heater numbers to 28. Just baffles me
I know.. I mean why not just stick another degree of heat on there? Junarta
I've got a 2011 .... Had an alternator go just going into a busy roundabout..... ExpensivE fix..... However the pleasure and enjoyment of owning the best Range Rover ever built far outweighs the issues it has..... No real horror stories though...... I always like to say I'm recycling as well..... )))
Yes I’ve heard about the alternator being an expensive one.. recycling at its best! 👍
My daily is my 2011 HSE, yes it’s totally fine. Best / fav vehicles I’ve owned.
Your #2! Ha I have the same issue… I just tuck mine into the crack lol
Good stuff! Yeh it was hard trying to find things wrong with it.. so I thought the rubber hanging out will do! Ha.. thanks so much for watching! 👍
Where did you get the roof rack from?
It’s off eBay 👍
