Yes, there should be background illumination on all the buttons. Including on the doors. There's also LED lighting in the door handle to give light into the handles and the pockets.
Great videos lovely cars, had a couple myself sadly issues are inevitable & seem to be a quirk of ownership. Good luck in getting the issues sorted that have been flagged by the garage
Wow, buying a Range Rover with no service history. They say fortune favours the brave,! That was a gutsy move by any standards. Looking forward to the next video, please keep us updated on this vehicle over 12 months of ownership, and good luck.
Mines a 2012 with 50k miles and under warranty mines had 2 height level sensors, battery and starter. Its also got a split inlet plenum due to also be fixed under warranty. I also got the Invery adaptor to stream music and the latest version like this even shows the track name, not sure the Bovee does. I also have a belt squeal when cold and need a second key.
Edd I bought a Airdual Bluetooth adapter for mine. It plugs into your ipod socket and gives you ability to stream music from your phone.Works with the standard infotainment system even shows track playing. Works very well £99 from Amazon.
I know these things have issues but down here (aust) I see many of them for sale with 300,000 klm plus. So how did we get to those numbers. I really want one but😮😮😮
@@Back_Road_Hero yes, I had to have mine done, they were very corroded and a common issue at about 10 years, also the gearbox,transfer box and diffs should have had ithe oil changed. So worth checking if done.
Hello I want to buy one from 2010 full option 4.4 diesel 313 HP whit 196000 km .something to do ...is ..One missing camera on the drive site mirror,the back camera she's not working ,and the belts same rumor like you.
Yes a bit of care and it could be brought up to good. Just buy it at the right money and you’ll have some to spare to fix it when it goes wrong. Check for rust in the tailgate, rear sills and arches. Check the brake pipes at the rear where they head upwards from the rear of the chassis.
Hello from America, I love Land Rover, but I still cannot afford one for myself. Of course If ever going to buy one, it must be used. I am curious to know how did it go when you took it to Land Rover for a whole inspection. It is a lovely car, but it can be expensive and a money-draining...
Hi Ed, bit off topic, but where did you get those reading glasses from with the transparent arms as I have been looking about on the Internet after watching your video, but no luck?
Interesting that the noise wasn't there during your test drive and has 'just appeared' and getting noisier. Sounds like new belts may required or pulleys from the sounds of the happy bird! Do you think the dealer could have masked that sound? It's a little dodgy in that respect and especially after having paid £16 000. At that money I would expect two keys. Dealers are so dodgy...
Yes it was quiet on the test drive however the sound deadening is very good on these. It wasn’t until we drove it with the window open that we heard it properly. It would be no use speculating about the dealer. We’ll see if they come good fixing all the issues as it’s still currently back with them. Stay tuned for the next instalment. Ed

I bought a Audi A8nin Ireland from a main dealer I have a very annoying rattle from the rear shelf that they failed to fix , it is under warranty 2017 model , have I got the right to return it if they can't fix the issue as it will affect the resale value, your thoughts would be most welcome
Not sure. It’s just the way they do business. It’s a take it or leave it culture, hence why we used the law for the return. It was a true supermarket ethos. I’ll explain in my update.
It was mainly to the Full Fat forum and its Wiki page. It’s a treasure trove of info. I’ve had my 4.4 for 3 years and have gained a lot of knowledge that I’m happy to share. Check there are no oil leaks behind engine and onto bellhousing and then down to the tubular cross member underneath. Very common fault and usually around 80K miles. Whip off engine cover and undo 2 bolts to remove the pollen filter airbox then get on a chair and look down back of engine. If you’re near Hampshire I can do it for you

1st time I've seen your channel. The way you purchased the RR and your subsequent checks and return to dealer was right up my street. Good luck mate
Thanks for letting me know. Really helps keep the inspiring up. More to come on the RR. Ed
Yes, there should be background illumination on all the buttons. Including on the doors. There's also LED lighting in the door handle to give light into the handles and the pockets.
Thanks John. I have a new radio surround but not fitted yet. I’ll check the handles. Ed
Thanks for clarifying the rules of return etc. Really helpful. Can't wait what will be the judgement of an expert.

No. Full history, just not main dealer. Just no evidence of an auxiliary belt change. Ed
I’ve subscribed for this Range Rover content. You’re very knowledgeable. Great content, thanks
Thank you. You’re very kind. Ed
Fan belt I had to change mine and the pully

Sounds like we’re in the same boat! Got the Invery. Thanks. Works great. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero What particular Ivery is the one for the RR?
Why did you not sort the problems out before splashing out on towbar , shelf , key etc.
A bit quick off the mark I suppose.
Edd I bought a Airdual Bluetooth adapter for mine. It plugs into your ipod socket and gives you ability to stream music from your phone.Works with the standard infotainment system even shows track playing. Works very well £99 from Amazon.
We went with the Invery one at much the same cost but thanks for the suggestion. Ed
I know these things have issues but down here (aust) I see many of them for sale with 300,000 klm plus. So how did we get to those numbers. I really want one but😮😮😮
hi did you go skint when you were a car dealer,you dropped right into that l/rover 😂
No. Just ran out of available time. I don’t ever remember losing any money on a deal. Ed
Ask Bicester LR to check the rear brake pipes when they are looking at it.
Is that a common issue then?
@@Back_Road_Hero yes, I had to have mine done, they were very corroded and a common issue at about 10 years, also the gearbox,transfer box and diffs should have had ithe oil changed. So worth checking if done.
Also get them to check the oil cooler in the V is not leaking.
Quite like one of these myself, great spec
It’s just the standard Vogue spec. There’s the Vogue SE and Westminster above this as well. However even as standard they went to town on them. Ed
It’s just general maintenance for any vehicle
I agree, but if you’re a dealer then you should have taken care of the maintenance before selling it.

Flush all the oils duffs, transfer box and gearbox for drivetrain rattle
Yes. When we get the warranty work completed then we’ll flush everything out. Ed

I’m pretty sure it’s in one of the Range Rover videos somewhere. Check out the playlist for it on my channel. Ed

Hi John. Just cheap Amazon specials. They block the blue light from screens as well.

@@Back_Road_Hero Going to watch your latest post...
To use your iphone, a bovee 1000 is a great bluetooth plug in for these motors.
We went the Invery route. Very happy with it so far. I’ll be covering it in a future video but I’ll look at the bovee as well for comparison. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero I had not heard of that, I will give it a google , thanks.
@@Back_Road_Hero invery looks like a duplicate of the bovee. 😁

Thanks Rob but we also needed the blade cutting as well not just a fob. However thanks for the heads up on the diagnostics. Ed
I would like to know how many miles the RR has done please
85k
I bought a Audi A8nin Ireland from a main dealer I have a very annoying rattle from the rear shelf that they failed to fix , it is under warranty 2017 model , have I got the right to return it if they can't fix the issue as it will affect the resale value, your thoughts would be most welcome
Northern or Southern Ireland? If it’s NI then you should be covered by UK law. I’m less sure if it’s from Southern Ireland. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero Southern , thanks for your reply , loveing the content 👌
@@Tec2Nut have a look at EU law then or just give them a call and see what they can do. Might be worth it in the end. Ed
I may have missed it in both videos, how many miles is this L322? Thanks
88k Neil, so relatively low mileage for the year (2010). Cheers. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero Almost the same as my 2011 autobiography. I will have to check and see if the light switch lights up or not..Cheers
16k easily get a 405 now
I’m sure it would. It was different times back then. Ed
Why did you pay a buyer's fee ? what it for ?
Not sure. It’s just the way they do business. It’s a take it or leave it culture, hence why we used the law for the return. It was a true supermarket ethos. I’ll explain in my update.
I put some useful comments and links but they’ve not appeared. How odd. Would have been very useful for you.
I’ll look at the settings. RUclips might think they’re spam. Ed

Juste les reposes pieds sur les 322 c est pas beaux
Sur les sport c est mieux
How people pay these prices for all the potential bills is crazy, i love them but wow wallet vampire.
They are utterly gorgeous, it's hard to resist. I have so far 😐
Man you could buy it only in 2021...that is a already dead machine..too old.
It’s fast becoming a true classic. I’m old as well but I still like to think I’ve got a few miles left in me yet. It’s great value for money.
MONEY PIT . FIX ONE FAULT . PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE NEXT FAULT
Yes but when it all works it’s just wonderful.
