I'm an Englishman who has been driving Land Rovers products for over twenty years and can honestly say there is no place more comfortable to be....
....whilst waiting for a tow truck!
AND WE STILL KEEP BUYING THE DAMN THINGS!
Oh.....Great !!
bushmanpm You English people think you guys are the best when you know we Germans🇩🇪make better stuff
@Gentel Let's be honest Germans lost their touch DECADES ago! It's now companies like Toyota from Japan that KNOW how to make a good car!
Oh gat damn this comment made me watching this boring ass video enjoyable😂
@@gentelmenschannel5028 Not anymore BMW engines have weak timing chains & guides on all models also fitted at rear of engine very clever idea and expensive engine out fix / and Audi have weak oil pumps which fail .
No we English know the french make the best engines in Europe That's why BMW & Ford used
them on older Diesel Mini/ Mondeo /Focus /Transit
Remember if there isn't any oil under them there isn't any oil in them.
Steve Smith nah, by the time the oil on the pan is done dripping the oil inside is long gone 😆
Lol
If I ever get one, I'll know to put a bucket underneath. That way, I can pour it back in every morning.
Yep the ol does it have fluids check.
Steve Smith That's the old 911 rule :D But fortunatly they carrying ridiculous high amount of oil in them, so if 1 liter is missing, you have another 11 :D
I almost bought a 2010 LR4, then I watched this video and went ahead and bought it.
lr4 are the best not range rovers
Haha! I'm thinking of buying a cheap Discovery II I saw on Craigslist after watching this.
@@bradh6185 don’t do it. Not worth it. It’s such a perfect car if it weren’t so mechanically flawed.
@@bradh6185 I have one and actually havent had any issues. Ive driven it 2000 miles since I bought it and only regular maintence has been done.
@@alexdalton6215 tic tac
I watched this. Then bought a Range Rover at Copart.
i feel like u did to ur brain wut he did to the egg if u like the designe why dont u buy a infiniti fx 35 2004-2008 or 2009+ ?
Outstanding move
Just got one for my wife. We're still married, so far so good.

OMG that old gold one used to be ours! My husband resurrected it from the dead, replacing pretty much everything. He keeps records of everything ever done to the car, hence the stack of papers that came with it. He sold it to a guy in Andover who your buddy bought it from. If you ever want to sell it back to us we'd buy it back. My husband wishes he had never sold it. Seriously.
11:40 Sorry, but its already sold... I still believe in you!
WE HAVE USED 2004. IT HAD ONLY 97K ON IT. ITS A GREAT CAR BUT HIGH MAINTENANCE.
@Changling You have all sorts of problems.
Fuhq Boi Wow! May peace be on to you!
lucky
This is the kind of thing I would purposely buy even knowing the consequences 😂
smh same🤭😂
It's exactly what I done. They are comfortable but really expensive to maintain.
I love my Range Rover. I have had both models featured here in Australian specification and with a diesel engine and they have been incredibly reliable. They do need yearly maintenance, which costs about AUD$1000 as they are complex. However mine has taken the family almost around Australia, through the Murray River (and out the other side) and to the snowfields and back plus tows our 30 foot long trailerable yacht as well as launching and retrieving it. Whilst the examples in the video are not good, they haven't been looked after either and so they are broken. Fixable but currently broken and that is the past owners fault, not the original product.
Next video title “I accidentally bought the cheapest Range Rover in the US”
Are you from the future? Hoovie never learns. He loves to buy the cheapest foreign cars that arent so cheap
The 2004 white one is actually his
I was thinking about accidentally buying Tyler's, it's so NICE! 💸💸
To be the cheapest Range Rover in the US, wouldn't that have to be one that someone paid you to take away?
Giany Morandy the brown one is too, he just bought it lol
Tylers solutions to everything: "just bury it"
Laberge that's what I do lol
what if he ever has marriage issues
Or set fire to it and pretend it was an accident ;)
I want that LeBaron
Herbie I want to know what it looks like right about now. It should be dug up soon enough I think!
Me when I now buy a second hand range “So you’re saying there’s a chance?”
That Range Rover classic won't be too much work or expense to fix. The rust is a bigger concern than the mechanical work. Sort it out and you i have a great off-road workhorse.
my thought exactly, the old buick engine is pretty easy to fix. Nothing really computerized. As long as the engine isn't destroyed it can all be rebuilt. The rust is the concern. The L322 the issue is buying one from the BMW era. If it was an 06 or 07 with the Jag engine it's a different story. Early 2000's land rovers were really bad, quality control was terrible even on the old school V8's the ones from 2000 just fall to bits when one from the early 90's held up better, and the BMW engine was trash and their electronics weren't much better. A 2007 or 2008 L322 or RR Sport or Disco 3 is worthwhile while car to buy, it's not a toyota but if you treat it well it still has some life left.
The other problem with most Range Rovers is they are not well maintained, first the maintenance guidance from LR is terrible, they have the owners not changing diff oil or transfer case until 75k miles(IMHO a really bad idea at 40k miles the stuff is clapped out), they never have the trans fluid changed(it's a good idea to do it at 75k miles, all these cars with the ZF 6 speeds start to leak around 100k miles anyway so get the pan dropped to address it early). Even oil changes are not frequent enough. Couple that with the difficulty of some of the jobs on the car and the astronomical prices charged by dealers and land rover specialists and these cars are frequently beaten up once they reach high mileage.
Just wait that 140k Range rover will go to p*ss as well. Land rover and their 10k or 12k mile oil changes on that 5L with the weak timing chain guides and a supercharger. Change the oil every 5k miles in that car and just maybe the engine makes it past 100k miles, oh and I love land rovers specific oil where they basically have their own spec which is really just ACEA A/B spec that they charge $15-20 a quart for! The fact that they still recommend this interval on their diesels with the DPF floors me, the car suffers from fuel dilution the oil will exceed the full mark before the computer says the car needs service, just change it every 5k miles with Acea C2 oil, which actually stands up better to the fuel dilution than the rover spec oil for the TDI, heck most ford F150 folks with the same engine are using rotella T6 5w40 rather than the low saps 5w30 euro oil. Land rover wants these cars to fall to bits hence the bizarre non-service recommendations. You spend 100 grand on a truck you should put the money in to make sure it runs well!
Shouldn't have gotten rid of the Cayenne
Yea and the curse of the nsx = burnt ferrari
Kay Mutua Well, it did give us the Testarossa which is way more iconic than the F355...
I miss the cayenne. He should've went crazy with it and tuned the engine.
I thought Doug DeMuro already made this case with his bumper-to-bumper warranty costs?
That was one that was "cared for" 😂
And thanks to him a CarMax luxury car warranty is almost 10 grand
It wasnt his fault, it just shows how trash used Range Rovers out of warranty they are.
Well since I don’t watch his channel I’m glad hoovie did it. I guess since Doug did it no one else can
CarMax warranties have gone way up since Doug bought his Range Rover warranty
The reason the leather ages well ...it’s in the shop waiting for repairs.
😂😂
"rev it up high enough it sounds like a Briggs and Stratton going up the road." Engine proceeds to make this EXACT noise. 😂😂
sounds like an index card placed on the rear frame and tire of a bicycle to emulate a motorcycle.
it reminded me of Sebulba's pod racer lol
Or soda can haha
It sounds EXACTLY like a lawnmower.
Does a yearly technical car inspection exist in the USA ?
That old rusty Range Rover wouldn't be allowed on EU roads...
Helicopter more like it
NEVER BUY AN OLD RANGE ROVER! Btw, here's my old Range Rover.
Old range rovers caddies bmws ir mercs from any pmace with buy here pay here in business name. Youll buy here and pay. Dearly. The briggs and stratton one tho. Made me chuckle lol

lol funny to find u here :)
It was for his show, no clue if he´s got a say there !
The Australians have a saying. If you want to drive into the outback, take a Landroverover. If you want to come back, take a Landcruiser.
I'm sure the position is similar for Range Rovers.
Yeah nah. I wouldn't take a new Toyota diesel anywhere outback Aus....
@@offroadoffshore8987 how about a new Range Rover?
@@jochenstacker7448 I'd be ok with a new or well maintained RR. only thing that makes me nervous are airbags...wouldn't want one to go pop in a remote area. But that's the same concern for any 4x4 with airbags..not just a RR or Disco.
"180 degrees of play in steering wheel ".... :D :D :D this made my day haha
I laughed so hard when the grill fell off i almost dropped my coffee
Me too, it was hilarious :P
Lmfao
That was great.
Wow. To each their own sense of humor.
@@jayaramg9411 It looked funny, but was obviously pre-arranged
When I was a student in Birmingham UK I used to live nearby Jaguar Land Rover factory, most of my roommates worked there so I had a chance to hear all those stories from the factory. It was unbelievable, missing screws because they had no time to put them in and the system was already pushing the unit further so they had to stop assembling, and yet the units with plenty of missing screws missing were passing through the quality control lol. Plenty of stories like that. I almost ended up there on engineering apprenticeship, but the best lesson I had was "never buy a land rover product".
These things new, cost more than my house is worth.
And they fall apart within days
American junk! My ford escort had the same radio as that 95’ range

You should stop having 69 in your name and then get a better house. Good luck and all the best.
You could get one to pull your house and then it'd be worth twice as much.
I would bay the classic Range Rover in a heartbeat and restore it, I just love them
I brought one, and 10 yrs later still trying to retore it, every time I think I'm done new problems comes up, I finlay sold the dam thing to someone like you. It's good we have you, dummies, out there
My Nigga Exactly Lol.
My Nigga I think your still trying to restore it because you’re “retoring”
@@mynigga7451 But you bought one and threw money at it for 10 years, who's the dummie?
@@mynigga7451 lmao 😂
"It's so cool. It's like a battle tank!"
**GRILLE FALLS OFF**
Buy one and park it on the lawn- use it as an entertainment center
That was obviously set up.................
It's been sold to China
Well most sane people would do the opposite of whatever Hoovie says so I guess we should be buying old Range Rovers??
They're pretty basic vehicles pre 2000.
If you know how to fix cars the old ones are great, these idiots cant even change an exhaust gasket...
In THIS case. he's correct. I've NEVER, EVER seen a used Range that wasn't a maintenance nightmare waiting to happen.
Nitrous Oxide No we should be buying Mercedes G-Classes 240GD from the 80s. A much better vehicle overall and still good looking to this day 😊
Literally every Land Rover I have ever seen has been fucked up just like these.
The 2006-2008 models were actually quite reliable, they had Jaguar engines(made by ford). But I agree with everything else you said about them. The models I talked about are pretty much the only exception
Edit: just realized they were talking about Range Rovers, not Land Rover Discoveries.
Yeah, the Ford years are good for discovery series, though I still wouldn't buy a RR as they are more complicated, more electronic, and way unreliable to a disco3/lr3. You people will probably say oh but they're the same, as an owner of a 06 lr3 with the v8, no they are not the same as the RR.
Correct. For Range Rovers you never go below 2008
And yet Tyler just bought one for his wife.
Exactly
AT oof
The only way to buy a land rover is to buy one under warranty and sell it right before it’s up.
@@EvilTurkeySlices True but why land rover and not something better
Dave Wsh I’m definitely not recommending you buy any. I’m saying if you must, get a warranty.
The saying goes : "If you want to drive to the jungle buy a Range Rover, if you want to drive to the jungle and come back buy a Landcruiser" (lol!)
MrSparklespring Better yet, buy a Lexus LX or Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen. Those will get you there and back.
Indeed good alternatives!
You can thank BMW for messing up Land Rover’s reputation, and thank ford + tata motors for taking over and slowly making them much more reliable cars.
@@gedaman lexus LX is a landcruiser
Even the most educated Land Rover enthusiast won't outright disagree with you about the Toyota Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser is only offered in America at one price, one option level, and not at the spec sold worldwide to make it "to and from the jungle". You won't see a Land Cruiser with cloth seats, plastic handles, or absent of the bells and whistles. The amount of engineering that has gone into the Land Cruiser is exquisite and does deserve many accolades. Although, a brand new Land Cruise and a brand new LR4 / Discovery would perform equally or slightly better than one another. The Land Rover offering more options. If we were to get the Land Cruiser the rest of the world gets, aka, a base model...it would be much more approachable than an 80k Cruiser or higher priced Lexus variant. NO OTHER TOYOTA MODEL IS ENGINEERED THE SAME AS THE LAND CRUISER. Not the 4Runner, not any of the other SUVs they sell. Google "Why The Toyota Land Cruiser Is So Expensive" and the first article does a pretty good job of summing it all up.
Thought this was a Scotty Kilmer video when I saw the title.
Rev up your engines.
"here's why buying anything other than a 1992 Toyota Celica is stupid"
Do they come with a turbo??? Don't buy it, lol fucking Scotty have you seen his parody's
Scotty Corolmer
IT'S TIME FORRRR, DA SCOTTY KILMER - CELICA CHANNEL!
Those 95 and old Range Rovers are becoming more and more classic due to their age and proper boxy look. I wish if it was still possible to find one with that price
I bought a 2000 Land Rover a few yrs bk, worst mistake ever. The truck caught on fire while I was driving. Smh
You can hear the type of guy that whispers "bumper to bumper warranty"
Only for the original buyer.
Jeb Bush I can hear Car Max owners fretting at the idea of an extended warranty on any used Range Rover or other European high line car they’re selling to some poor guy who knows his stuff about these unreliable beauties. Always get an extended warranty on a used luxury car or truck like a Range Rover or Jaguar.
I bought my '95 RRC a year ago, and I have dumped a lot of money into it, but it runs beautifully now. Lots of problems in the first six months to cure the neglect of prior owners, but no problems in the last 6 months. It's a simple, old V8 and I've been able to teach myself to do a lot of the repairs and maintenance. I love it. Considering purchasing and installing a new 4.6L to keep it going longterm. Working on it on weekends is a great antidote to the office.
Ranger Rovers are such beautiful cars though. I'd still be tempted to buy a cheap one and replace all the mechanicals. An LS or a Toyota V8 with their respective 4wd transmissions would be awesome in a Range Rover.
Mechanically these things aren't bad. It's the dogshit excuse for electronics that are in these things.
Good for 5 years, then just park it outside the house, and use it as a TENT.
@@emmanuels.3003 😆
I always see people my age driving old range rovers and I think how badass it would be to own one. Then I remember watching this video.
Exhaust leak? Sounds like it blew a spark plug out of the head.
I was going to say the same
Sounds kinda like it's blowing air out of the exhaust valve.
Last time I heard a sound like that was a diesel Land Rover that had a blown injector. Used to chuff like a steam loco!
Time to find out how flaming hot exhaust gas reacts with steering fluid and air mixture XD
Head gasket on the exhaust side
Having watched a number of videos on Land Rover’s, I think one video about Land Rover as a company summed it up really well. Therefore, I have the follow summary to share for consideration. Apologies for the length but I hope this makes sense.
Land Rover are a specialist 4x4 car maker. Each model of car designed and produced has been engineered separately and they don’t share too many parts across the range like mainstream car manufacturers do.
Therefore, when the parts wear out most replacements are often specific for the car in some cases more expensive than your run of the mil mainstream car company and you most likely will use a specialist.
Land Rover don’t have a global manufacturing infrastructure with access to Billions of dollars in funding for research and development like mainstream.
Land Rover don’t have thousands of factories making millions of cookie cut cars sharing all the parts for cost reduction.
Land Rover is not a white goods car maker, they are luxury, small and unique. Land Rover often take more risks adding new technology and capability to their cars before any other brand has tried it out.
This is why there are “Land Rover Specialists” out there supporting the brand and brands like Ford, Nissan and Toyota etc don’t have specialists, just mainstream garages.
Land Rover’s uniqueness will make them more high maintenance that you’re average brand.
Should Land Rover vehicles have major safety defects which could injure or cost the lives of their customer, they don’t have access to Billions $ in funds to pay for lawyers to keep this quite and make it all go away!, like some mainstream car have had this happen. Land Rover have never had this issue.
Land Rover cannot be compared to makes such as Ford, GM, Toyota, Nissan etc etc. These brands are comparable to themselves across their range of, Sedans, Sports and 4x4 models. Land Rover does not sit within this bracket of car manufacturers. Even VW, Audi, BMW and Mercedes are bigger firms than LR with closer products to Land Rover.
So, if you want a car for greater reliability, cheap fix’s and lower maintenance, don’t buy a unique car like a Land Rover. Head out to a mainstream car company and buy one every 3-5 years like they want you to, problem solved.
However, if you want something very unique and different and are prepared to use a specialist and spend more $ on maintenance each year and drive something special, then maybe Land Rover ownership is for you. However, knowing what you’re getting yourself into.
A motoring journalist said once, think of Land Rovers as owning a “mini Bentley”. Pretty true.
Love or Hate them, make your choice. However, comparing them to a mainstream car is not an argument.
If you love them and want to spend more time and money than on your average car, then thats great if it makes you happy. Thats what life is about. Being happy.
However, if you don’t like them and think they are bad, simply don’t buy one. If you’re happiness is different to others, being that you don’t want to have to think about or worry about your car then thats you’re place to be.
There is no right or wrong with the Land Rover brand. It’s just a lifestyle choice.
I guess I got lucky with my 2008 RR Sport. Bought in 2014 with 30k mi, now has 85k and I’ve never had any issue. Just normal maintenance, new tires and brake pads. Other than that it’s been perfect.
I'll remember when I have 50K laying around.
A guy on my street has one: easily 5 times out of 10 that I walk by his hood is open and the tools are out. It’s actually quite funny.
Fluterra you could of said a half... just saying
@@pureblooded3877 lol. sure, but then you could have assumed it was just 1 in 2 times, not 5 out of 10.
@@Fluterra it can also be 0.5 out of 1
Got a 2017 evoque for my first car.. after 5 months traded it in because it was ALWAYS at the mechanic
My neighbor had one, too. Broke down the first time when driving it home from the dealer on the day of purchase. Sort of down hill after that! But the interior was very nice.
Tyler, this was an absolute blast! My friend already took delivery of the 95... I want another one already. 👊
WatchJRGo $1,500 was what I was thinking you paid for this thing
The power steering lines are a quick fix. Replacing them are fairly easy on that 1995. The exhaust leak @chrisfix has a quick fix on his channel for that. The head gasket would be the most challenging fix.
You sold this to a "friend?" Some friend you are.
@CivilGuy you nailed it!
@Michael Duffy I did look into it, seems pretty easy the low pressure/return line is super easy and the high pressure really wasn't hard. Exhaust leak is the issue for sure!
Grille pull at 7:02 had me dying 😂😂😂
Thanks. Was going to buy one. Think I'll stick with my landcruiser. The only thing I've changed on it in last two years are the batteries. Built like a tank. And in all honesty looks better than most range rovers
Holy crap!!!
I didn't know land rover made Thomas the steam engine???
My brother just got his first car a few months ago. A 1995 Land Rover discovery. So far it’s been perfectly fine the only thing it’s needed is a new water pump because the original one finally broke when it got to 260,000kms on it.
Kaden Goddard discos are much less complicated than the RR
I had 3 of them useless bangers: the 1st one, the last one and the only one :-) Fluid leaks, electrical and air suspension gremlins etc keep you on your toes and busy every weekend...
"I'm thinkin I'm just gonna bury it" lmao
I agree with you not to buy a range Rover after 1996 as there are too many electronics to deal with but the older classic range rovers are fairly simple to work on, an exhaust gasket will cost about 10 dollars and a steering box about 200, tidy up the bodywork for about 1000 and 50c to fix the front grill on, that's a lot less than a new one at 100,000 dollars that will also go wrong after a few years, same old story, order vehicles are easier to fix and more reliable, this is why so many relatively newer vehicles are being crushed at a young age, be smart and drive and maintain a good classic and the resale value will go up instead of down.
The gasket to fix that classics exhaust leak is 12$ and less than an hour labor.
Nice to see someone point out the obvious to other posters, I get pissed off with vids moaning about reliability when its a cheap fix... gasket and a couple of screws from where the previous owner took the grille off and lost them, reflects more on poor ownership than the vehicle.. I would be embarrassed to leave my car like that.
Oh yea, I'm from New England: I figured that it would be a rusted out header before I thought about the gasket. Even then, pretty cheap to clean it up and weld a patch on.
The manifolds on RR are pretty solid, plenty on fleebay. More likely a gasket or duff plug.. "thought it was a Country not County" clue is in the word... says it all about their general awareness to most things, think I will stick to "fix it" rather than "bitch it" vids! Sorry Hoovie but these vids all sound the same.
@@jamesmacdonald3090 you said it right. I admired Hoovie when he started with his first vids, but it's all getting the same now, complaints and complaints all over the place. Just get some tools and start repairing things yourself rather than bitching around. And man, that grille is disaster, 2 screws and less than 2 minutes would have fixed it already. I would really appreciate a video when you try to fix things your own on the cheap, not be cheap when you buy cars, cheapest of the cheapest and then whine about that.
The bolts will be very hard to remove because of the constant 'hot/cold' expansion of the metal + Land Rover made the bolts out of cheese, they snap almost instantly. It's a pain in the ass to remove the exhaust manifold on these money pits.
I doubt that this car has a 'simple' exhaust leak. Sounds more like loss of compression via the sparkplug.
Cheers
Suprised there was no footage of JR's Rover doing the "death wobble" when it gets up to speed
I must of had a unicorn. My '04 Discovery had minimal issues. A door lock, vac leak and a lifter tick were all the issues I had in the 7 years I had it.
You can afford an $80K Rolls but you're too cheap to invest in a second microphone? C'mon...
Matt Knight Pretty sure the thing is he can’t afford the Rolls, but he bought it anyways lol
Lol he responded to that in the rolls videos comments. His had such bad luck with mics with them not recording and he doesn't no that until his editing and then realised his vid is useless. So he has a voice recorder with a mic then syncs to vid later.
But he can only actually afford the loan payments, the car is owned by the bank. :P
Spends it all on the Range Rover.
He financed it.
That 2004 Range Rover actually still looks super smart! With almost 160k miles and almost 15 years old it looks like it’s doing alright to be honest!
Peter, “looks” is the key word. I sell cars and every Range Rover we take in on trade is a basket case.
You're out of your mind. I have an 04 4Runner with more miles on it and everything works perfectly.
Yeah, and I look like I'm mentally stable
That's because it's a Toyota, one of if not THE most reliable automotive brands.
Peter You talk weird
"If you think yours is worse just wait until you see mine."
>has like three problems
>better condition than anything I've owned
On my second 2010 RR I love them
This can also be titled, “buying a Range Rover is stupid”
#DaddyDoug taught us.
No, #DaddyDoug taught us to buy it at Carmax and pay for the warranty. ;)
Welcome To The Madness The fact you referred to him as Daddy Doug... your opinion doesn’t count!
Thou shalt not disrespect #DaddyDoug
Back in 1994, I bought a brand new classic facelift model (with the soft dash etc) same as JRs. First absolutely brand new car, and it spent 7 months of its first years life in and out of the garage. Every part of it suffered with failure - there wasn't one part or section that hadn't gone faulty during the first year.
Doug DeMuros review says it all.
Despite all the problems, it did go everywhere in the snow and for the next couple of years it performed well. It did have to go once the warranty expired though.
*unless it has a bumper to bumper, unlimited milage warranty
That old RR sounds like a steam powered agricultural threshing machine.
You should never buy any used Land Rover / Range Rover, (unless you're a diehard fan that doesn't care about pricey repairs). I used to own a transmission shop years ago, and I tried to fix a customer's Freelander that was having issues with a transmission control sensor. The factory refused to sell one, and instead tried to sell me a whole new transmission for about 5 grand, (my cost!). Fortunately, I was calling around and found a salvage yard that just acquired a wrecked Freelander. Well, I picked up that sensor and got him going for a few hundred dollars; needless to say he was ecstatic, and called the factory to gloat about it... Would you believe that Land Rover had the nerve to call me that day, and demand to know the source of where I found the parts for that vehicle? Imagine what my response was!
That's pretty astonishing that an OEM would try such underhanded tricks. They're like apple who only sells parts to the certified shops that pay them a bunch every year. I bet they would sell the part to a dealership.
If there isn't any more to this story (and I have no reason to believe it is) that behavior from Land Rover is absolutely outragous! You should ask a papper to write a story about it and have Land Rover explain themselves!
Joakim Quensel Believe me, I had numerous reasons to go public at the time, (and not just about Land Rover). Even other shop owners I knew, felt the same. But in reality, I knew I stood a snowball's chance in hell, that any media outlet would take me on. Why? Understand that the Cash For Clunkers campaign had already gone into fruition, and was put into full swing. As a result, guys like me found themselves as victims & cannon fodder on the wrong side of the political spectrum. The big auto manufacturers bankrolled the whole fiasco and all the necessary politicians, (including Obama himself) to push the incentive. With all that in place, who would think that the media would ever put any news out that could hurt the status quo?
@@genxmurse7019 OK I live in Sweden so I don't really know what went on in US at that time but it still really pisses me off to hear stuff like this!
I get so frustrated when you as a small customer gets screwed by a big company acting like assholes but you can do nothing! I had issues in Sweden with Mercedes not taking responsability for the rust problems they had on cars around year 2000 even though they had 30 years rust warranty (at least in Europe, dont't know about US). After beeing a loyal Mercedes customer all my adult life having purchased a €60,000+ car.
Proves big dealerships are up their own arses!!
$1500 with salvage title, did you think it was like brand new?
I had delirium once and bought a 94 Discovery. Legend has it that the name is related to how you will discover many faults. BUT when I was 16 my mate had a series two Land Rover as a farm/shooting 4WD. It NEVER let us down. We even had to crank start it once!
I work on the old Defenders and Series Rovers and the IIa and III rovers never stop going, one IIa from '71 was blown up by an IRA roadside bomb and it only needed a battery to crank over. Absolute units those rovers are
I've owned a string of cheap Range Rover Classics and Discos, Love 'em.. bought each under $1000 Can, and sold for about as much when I was done with them or at worst, still got $400+ in scrap :) Love the RRC, just can't afford that kind of fuel consumption now :)
Growing up in the UK, I had family members and friends that have had Land Rover group products, and I can assure you all that this is indeed sage advice. Take heed.
What if I buy one with “ a bUmPeR tO bUmPeR wArRaNtY?”

Honestly, if you buy a Land Rover, then you cannot hold the same standards of reliability as you can for other vehicles. BUT, if you take care of them, and you properly service and maintain them, they will never give up on you. You can't find a problem and think "oh I'll get it fixed in the next service," because that simply won't work out for you 😁
Both can be fixed by a competent home mechanic. That classic could be sorted relatively cheaply - and if maintained correctly could give another 172,000 miles service. The tailgate is easily replaceable . Years of neglect have obviously taken it's toll - but that's the fault of the previous owners, not down to the vehicle. I expected the guy in the pink to say "Life, er, finds a way", at the fact that classic is still alive, despite everything it's obviously been through.
The main problem I've found, here in the UK at least, is that people buy a second , third, or fourth hand Range Rover for lemonade money forgetting it's a (usually tired) luxury vehicle that comes with Champagne maintenance and service costs. The older it gets, the more frequently services need to be done to keep it in good shape.They skimp on services and service items as they're expensive and wait until something goes wrong, which costs them more to sort in the long run than if they had done it in the first place , then they shift it on, forever berating it as unreliable. It's bought by the next idiot who wants to pretend he's Lord of the Manor, or a Gangsta and the cycle goes on. It gets to 150000 + miles, all the time getting more neglected by an owner who is reluctant to spend any money on it due to age and mileage. It's psychological. If a new part is needed and costs £2000 to sort , but the vehicle has 150K on the clock and you only paid £5k for it, you'd shift it on rather than shell out the money. Get as much as you could for it and the next bloke finds himself with a high mileage Range Rover that's a money pit which he blames on the vehicle, tells all who'll listen, and the old "wouldn't buy one of those pieces of unreliable junk", stereotype of the Land Rover brand does the rounds down the pub - again. Despite the fact it's on 150K. Conveniently forgetting they sold their Ford the year before as it started costing an arm and a leg, only covering 98,000 miles and failing another MOT....for exactly the same reason the Range Rover is now in it's predicament - poor maintenance !
Meanwhile, the Enthusiast quietly gets on with it. Cossets his (or her) Land/Range Rover and it's taken to shows where it's winning prizes for the highest miler vehicle there. (not really, but in enthusiasts hands , they do tend to be more reliable for longer).
I have to agree with Jeff Goldblum and his mate, above. Don't under any circumstance, buy an old high mile Range Rover.No matter how cheap . At this age and mileage - Range Rovers re best left for the enthusiasts who understand them and their high maintenance.
The older RR sounds like the race cars from Disney.
the 1995 Range Rover should be called the "Range Mower"
Trance88 👏🏻
Hey the RR Classics aren't all that bad if you treat them right all the time. They're more reliable than those mid-00's ones or a Freelander in most cases.
spot on with the briggs & stratton reference!
Or "Range Rover: John Deere LWB (Long Wheelbase)."
Instead of selling my Range Rover, I set it on fire and got an insurance claim against it. I found that to be the most morale option. Even the insurance company agreed.
Agreed.. especially the L322 and the P38 are total nightmares.
how often did doug call you saying "bumper to bumper"?
He is spot on about NOT to buy a high mileage Rang Rover.
I’ve had many rovers, I think I bought them all non drivable but after a few over exaggerated issues were repaired they worked well for us. I just sold a LR disco 2 with 211k miles that ran and drove great with no check lights and working ace system. My wife’s old 97 was a very dependable machine, only replaced it with an H2 because because I needed something with more power for pulling when I wasn’t using the gmc 3500. I’m sure I’ll by more LR/RR in the future.
The moment when the grill falls of on a mere touch. 😂
What if it has a “BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY” available?
Warranty companies often have a specific Range Rover exclusion. There's your sign.
only if it lasts 6 years
Its a scam they only cover basic cheap components not even a radio is covered
danger450 LOL that speaks volumes about Range Rovers reputation!
Did you say BUMBER TO BUMBER?
That lawn mower sound is so amazingly hilarious I lost my shit when I heard that!
It sound like a airplane preparing for takeoff
That older Range Rover is such a death trap 😂
Like Saint Pierre White says (experienced overland journalist): "If you want a car in wich to spend a lot of money, to spend a lot of time in the work shop, wich will need to replace almost everything in it, and to be a constant hassle. Range Rover is the car for you! However if you want a car to last you a lifetime and that requires very low maintenance: buy a Toyota."
The Range Rovers with BMW drivetrain are notoriously bad. The main issue with Range Rovers is people buy them for $15k and expect $15k car problems instead of $100k car problems. Most problems can be predicted, and over the years they've gotten better and better. The air compressor switched from Hitachi to AMK, the air struts have gotten better, etc. And, for some reason, the LR3/LR4s are miles more reliable than the Range Rovers.
R A ah, spoken like a moron without a clue.
Except... come to find out, a Range Rover Sport is just a re-bodied LR.
So? A Range Rover is different from a Range Rover Sport.
How is who wrong?
That old range rover sounds like 7 yr old me tryna mimic a real car sound with my mouth.
Like he said sounded truly like a lawn mower lol
Collegue across from my desk just came off his grad scheme and for the last year has been driving a 4.4 2003 range rover. To tell you how much it is worth, deduct the £3000 cost of the previous owners expensive direct LPG injection to 8 separate cylinders from the sale price to current owner of £3300! He has a 85l tank that even with 75 usable litres, gets just 160 miles city before needing a refill - that's about 8 mpg US. On a longer journey this extends to about 320 miles or 16mpg US.
Funniest thing I’ve seen in a while, what a good laugh I had 😂😂
Land Rover Europe holds the honor of number one ☝️ in customer complaints and requests for warranty.
Military Museum No, it doesn’t. General Motors North America does. That is according to the International Car Warranty Association, 2017. Ford USA are second.
@@MKRM27 source? Because I tried googling International Car Warranty Association and couldn't find anything online.
probably bs
BULLSHIT
RA. That link has nothing to do with warranties. If anything it shows if you ask the right questions you can manipulate who gets on top of a survey. Plus it was just for the first 3 yrs. Most all cars do just fine the mechanically first three years.
First gen Range Rovers like that ‘95, but from the 70s & 80s in particular are collectible classics now, over in the UK & Europe anyway. 70s versions in good order are going for crazy money nowadays.
any 1970 car in good condition is worth money, even a honda.
potatochobit not as much as mint early Range Rovers. I saw one on sale in a classic car mag going for over £70000 or about $92000. I don’t think any 70s era Honda fetches those kind of numbers. Land Rover are building a batch of continuation models now for around £120000 ($157000) I think.
I had one of these. Paid $1,200 for it. Drove it from Seattle to Boston. Put $500 in tires. Sold it in Rochester NY for $1800 or so. Broke even. Water pump blew in Boston. I got a month of two out of it and the people who bought it pulled the engine a few times. As it was from Seattle and it went to Rochester it was bought for the rust free nature of a west coast Land Rover.
I've got a 2006 Land Rover LR3 with like 140k on it, it's been really reliable, still have the air ride in it. Only issue is only the dealership can clear the "oil change" light, so it says "-40,000 miles til oil change needed"
Never buy a cheap used ANYTHING unless you can fix it yourself...
Actually never buy any luxury car periode, they will become money pit weather you buy a brand new one or used they will have endless money pit, here watch Scotty Kilmer channel and you can learn more.
Scotty just wants you to buy an old corolla!
John Ward The GX470 holds
Exactly John
@@germanshepherd13 😂 this exactly. And I'd love to follow that advice too.
Oh man it would have been hilarious if he cracked the windshield with that egg at the end:P
I had the model in between, from memory it had air suspension failure, engine failure, no air conditioning, it lent to one side, steering problems etc etc. But it did look great inside! And was OK to driver when it did. :(
I owned a 1995 Range Rover (newer model with the square headlights). It drove like a dream, especially off road. But it was a always in the shop and a complete money pit. I finally gave up and took $500 to have it towed away!
Next video: I bought the cheapest Range Rover.
I have contained my rage for as long as possible, but I shall unleash my fury upon you like the crashing of a thousand waves! Begone, vile man! Begone from me! A starter car? This car is a finisher car! A transporter of gods! The golden god! I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds!
So you agree... buy one and it will finish you.
You've watched Always Sunny in Philadelphia too many times!
Pairs well with a bowl of cereal for your morning commute
Murray Kyle thank you
It had finished many. Unfortunately, reality hold true.
You my friend, have won the internet 🤣
Thanks guys. This video was great. I was thinking to buy a 2006 range but i see now why they are sold so cheap.
I have a 2006 Vogue 140,000 miles and haven’t had a single breakdown or major malfunction. obviously the parking cameras broken, tv doesn’t work, air suspension fucked, parking sensors don’t sense but I love it all the same
Wow, that does sound like a Briggs & Stratton.
Got 165K on my '06 Rover (purchased in '08). Reliable as heck. Had to replace that lcd on the dash, but other than that, incredibly reliable/problem free. Air ride struts need to be replaced after 80K, but there are lifetime warranty aftermarket replacements that work great (only a total tool would swap out air ride for springs). I wouldn't hesitate to buy a used Rover - but I'd suggest a 2 year lease return vehicle where everything is still under warranty; where most nagging service issues have been resolved by initial lessor and lots of depreciation has occurred.
What you don't realize is that the 2006 IS reliable ... Just like the new gen l405 the 2013 isn't that good but the 2014-2015 are the most reliable range rovers ever ... You just gotta let them figure out the problems ... See, the 2018 is know for lots of trouble but I bet the 2019 will be alright ... I do not own it but I drive a 2014 autobiography a lot since 2 yrs we only got a small problem with the radio and we put tons of miles on it
Sounds like an absolute POS
Great video, on such a deceptive suv that looks.so great interior and exterior after 15 years. I guess alot of people keep them.in garages so the wear and tear and uv damage is minimal yet the engine and parts just fall apart.
Man, love that 1995 County
