![THIS is why EGR is so bad for your Range Rover. [4.4 TDV8 Belt Squeal, Inlet Cleaning & Service]](/img/1.gif)
*DPF LEFT THE CHAT*
*Greta Thunberg wants to send you a message*
I felt validated after Harry and Jeremy's video too. Glad to see another video from you, Sam. I copied your lighting video on my American, high-mileage L322 and everything is working out. Thanks, man.
Got the 3.6 and ive got to say the egrs and remap were the best things ive done. Runs really clean, no smoke and regularly get 35mpg on a run 😊
What sort of price did you pay for that? Thinking of getting it done on my 3.6!
The remap to lose egrs was about £250 I think. Blanks from an auction site
@@simonbyford3578 thanks mate!
Iv just got a 3.6 sport any tips to try make it bullet proof
Starting to wish I never sold mine. Its a future classic.
DPF or maybe EGR blanked possibly! My re-map was a game changer, night and day different and for all the reasons you mentioned.
I'm so tempted to do that but so worried about the gearbox already being at it's torque limit... I think I'll wait for 12 months and see what happens with you guys :)
@@JohnBaxendale had my re-map and egr block and delete done back in 2019 (I think), never had a problem. 5 speed GM box was made of cheese, my 6 speed ZF is a lot better and Sam’s 8 speed ZF is better still. Get much better fuel economy and plenty of low down grunt, I don’t push the car hard so I’m not too concerned about the gearbox.
@@Bensgarage yup, makes sense - the 4.4 already is at the limit of the 8 speed box torque limit though, so it’s a bit worrying to push it on an older car!
Done the tyres ...Chuffed (did have 305/35/23) good for corners!! Mapped by chaps down south..BUT best `Upgrade` was to get all the shite out of inlet manifold!! done in tin bath full of old thinners n gunk !! Gone from 22/3/4 mpg to over 28 and 35ish on a run..76k mls n goin great Love your vids and subscribed.. Cheers
We’ve had quite a few guys come out off-roading with us with the l322 very capable underrated 4x4!! We’ve had tbe Td6 and V8 supercharged one some really good beasts!!
I've had both the Td6 and Tdv8, the Tdv8 feels more capable to me, think its the later transfer box that makes the difference
👍Nice video, and I really like the music at the end. I will try some of the modifications on my Range Rover and see how it goes! Keep up the excellent work! Please upload more videos; I learn a lot from you.
Great vid sam!! Love the L322!!
Hi Sam, the roof rack will corroded very quickly. I have a friend with one. Another mod is delete the back box. It sounds lovely not loud. But under load its amazing. You will have to come down to Cork for a visit.
I have the same. Nice vehicle. I have one problem with the direction that makes some noise. I like your videos about the RR.
That looks like a Celtic Tuning graphic for the before and after remap. Great to know if you would recommend the company, and whether you used an agent in IRL or whether you came UK-side and went to their Cornwall HQ? Thanks as ever for the great content!
Another great Vid Sam, weve a tentbox cargo on ours and love it, fits the roof of the 322 spot on. Really great to go enjoying some camping and laning in them. X-lifter is on our to do list 👌
The Cargo is a great looking tent. How are you finding the build quality so far?
Great informative video thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍
Definitely like your up grades and your info on your channel .
Glad you like them!
Just starting my upgrades Sam. I have a 2007 4.2 Litre Supercharged V8 which I love dearly and cannot bear to part with. The engine hums beautifully. Slight gearbox slippage however nothing else to bother about. I am upgrading the head unit, including fitting car play/ waze and interested in getting a Tent box, Cheers Whoops, and doing the whole car LED upgrades, Thanks
Sounds like an awesome start! Enjoy!
L322, the king of cars! Highly recommend the Goodyear Duratrac as a chunky tyre choice!
Great content.
Good rubber is essential when driving off road. Or here in Ireland, ON road! ;-)
Presumably its registered as a crew cab though!
favourite mod - Tyres..!! just changed it into a beast.
I do like the CarPlay screen in your car. But it’s very expensive especially if you have to pay for installation. I bought an aftermarket CarPlay unit and mounted it in the air vent recess on the dashboard. The power wire is the only wire required and I put that under the dash top to the fuse box. Looks good, works well and about £50 (Ali Express). If it goes wrong I can afford more units!
My favourite mod of yours is the led conversion of the reversing lights. Absolutely pathetic before, excellent now for a few quid and some soldering!
Looking forward to the remap video
It is expensive for sure, but it’s lovely having it fully integrated and essentially “invisible”. 👍👍
I own both the 07 and the 16 models and my 16 model is a diesel and I could not be happier. Both are incredible vehicles but these cars look better in the UK not in the US. Look at the nature and the places you can drive them in the UK. In the countryside and on the coastline in all that greenery. I’m in love with that country. I love driving my rover to work and back. lol
I’m not sure if you ever did say, but what did you do for your remap? Like as in did you do an egg delete or dpf, what stage is it, etc as i want to know for when i eventually get my own l322 tdv8
another good video Sam 🚗🚙🚘👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍
Great stuff, Sam, thanks. Is there a remap for the 5.0 SC?
On an unrelated note, Ireland looks amazing! I live in rural Scotland and it looks very similar, just less people? Always a bonus 😂. Love your L322 content Sam just great! It’s making me want to get one….but I’ve got an L405 already…
It is amazing! Yes, some areas definitely reminiscent of Scotland. We’re not too far away from Connemara national park which looks and feels a lot like the Lake District / Scottish Highlands. Less people definitely a bonus in my eyes! 😅
Cheers for the comment and enjoy the 405 ☺️
Another Scot here Sam. For all we scream poverty, i'm another 405 owner but with the 4.4 SDV8. Having changed from a 3.0 SDV6 I was a wee bit disappointed in the power difference and I really don't think is sounds very V8. Despite that, I love the car, just as i've loved all the other Rovers i've owned. Keep up the great work sir.
Hey Sam, been a subscriber for a couple of years and really enjoyed this video. But was just wondering, now that I'm interested in getting an L322 are there any years to avoid, and are there any 'best' years in particular? Or have you done a video on buying advice?
Many thanks
The tyres are a great upgrade but they do require the L405 rims you're running which allow the wider footprint.
Yeah - I think they'll fit on the L322 rims too but will need more arch trimming.
Some good mud terrains make all the difference! Got a vid of a 4.4 V8 supercharged on mud terrains taking on defenders!
@@ALL_4_WHEELS Yeah, I've seen it and it's impressive.
@@a100267 thanks buddy! You could join us in yours as I’m doing a Range Rover only event!! Classics,p38,l320/322
@@ALL_4_WHEELS would love to, though I’d need a set of sliders judging by the video. However I don’t get much chance to get back to the UK these days.
Brilliant video, could you put costs in by any chance ?
Good stuff. What’s happening with the P38? I’ve just had the engine rebuilt on mine, new bags, bilstein shocks. The handling is unbelievably different. Just removed the roof bars to get them a new powder coating too.
I’m looking to have a Range Rover day out with my guys classic,p38,td6 and v8!!
Just thought. Did you sort the bouncy suspension? It could be in tight tolerance mode. Which is designed for working on the car. Just a thought.
Kind of wish I hadn't sold my L322 and agree its the best looking RR. However, in the future I might be tempted with an L405 purely for rust reasons. The 405 being aluminum. Has anyone seen any similar mods for one of those?
Great Video- Can you provide links for these items?
Any experience remapping with the Gap iid tool ?
Were the other unmentionable mods... exhaustive... Sam??? 😀
I'm suspecting he's accidentally deleted something. I'm sure he's kept a backup to restore it when needed... 😉
EGR and DPF are the big ones - for many of us a DPF removal means the car won't meet it's emissions tests at MOT time, so it's not possible.
DPF blanking is a simple job and can be reversed quickly at MOT time. For me the benefits are worth the extra hassle. Just my thoughts 😊
@@femiomomo4467 quickly reversed at MOT time? How so? By swapping the exhaust for another?
Hello.
Where can I found a real multimedia for a Range Rover sport 2010. But a good one 🙏
How do you manage the speedo error due to larger tyres
All great upgrades for the Rangie. About the remap, my mechanic said the engine can deliver more, but the 8 speed ZF gearbox is right on the limit of what it can handle. Is that untrue?
Nope, that's correct, the torque of the engine is right on the limit of the gearbox already.
700NM is the 'official' limit for the 8HP70 (The '70' refers to 700NM). Hence, Land Rover had to artificially limit the torque output of the 4.4 TDV8 to sit at 700NM. However, they have been successfully proved out to hold out at much higher torque levels, mainly by the BMW diesel tuning community.
Exhaust mods always a winner on any car, but with two turbos and 8 cylinders, it’s a must 👌👌😉
Couldn't agree more!
Definitely a big exhaust makes some sweet noises! We’ve got a td6 on quad DTM style exhaust’s!!
I would like to see how you installed the roof rack do I need to buy rails?
Hi Torrey, I have a video on the channel showing how I installed it. The roof rack comes with rails to attach it to the roof mounting points.
From this list, I am interested in the media center. But I'm still thinking about a "bigger" Chinese screen. The L322's standard buttons aren't that essential to me.
The other thing. Pneumo. I'm not interested in balancing. But I will definitely look for a way to lower it to the lowest position with the remote to get in easier.
You could wear high heels. Would be cheaper. 😜
@@milhouse147 use a bucket with a lace, turned upside down. But I don't like the color of the bucket.
Where’d you get the roof rack from?
Like Your channel. 😎👌
Cheers for watching!
Am looking to instal an infotainment/camera system into my RRS TDV8 (Australian spec). This was not optioned at time of new purchase way back in 2008. Can you advise re. supplier? Thanks. Alan
Hi Alan, do you mean to say you have no screen at all?
Iv a 3.6 sport guys shes got 264000km should i move it to 5w40 oil and decals who sells the best kit
Do you have a link to the infotainment update? - Couldn't hear clearly who's it was!
It’s by Unique Auto Developments. I’ve got 2 videos on my channel about it
Does the entertainment system upgrade work with the old L322 system??
No, this particular system is for the later cars. But there are similar things available for the early ones 👍
Does the Apple Car Play unit also still have the DVD and dual screen availability?
Yes, all original functionality maintained.
Hi Sam Im great follower of your videos great work i have the same range rover as u same engine and year with 90 thou miles on clock , my first fault has appeared , air con stopped working, last week, so i took it to my local garage to get it charged up ££££ later and still not fixed , im lost as to what to look at next ,any idea apparently the compre.sser is ok theres no leaks
Hey Clive, it’s most likely to be the same problem as mine was - the refrigerant control valve on the back of the compressor. I have a video from when I fixed mine. The valve seizes up and stops refrigerant from flowing around the system. The valve can only be replaced with the compressor at the same time.
You can find the compressor at Advanced Factors under part number LR056364
Cheers!
@@SamsMotors thanks sam ill look it up cheers
Hi Sam, I'm a follower, I have a range the 2011 and I need to change the wheel nuts, which one do you recommend? thanks. greetings from Portugal
Hi! I’m using the cheap stainless capped ones you can buy on eBay for about €50-60. Mine have been on for 2 years and still looking good with no signs of any problems.
@@SamsMotors can you send me a link please?
@@SamsMotors Thanks.
Would love an L322! I think they’ve aged so so well. However, I just can’t justify paying the top rate of tax for it in the UK. Perhaps one day
The top rate in the UK is comparatively cheap with a lot of places in Europe. For example in Ireland, it would be €2,400 a year to tax it privately!
What is it, ~£650 a year now in the UK? Paid monthly that's less than a phone contract... I think it's a great deal!
@@SamsMotors The more you know! Yeah, £695. Great, I’ll need to buy one now. Thanks a lot
My other thought is that one day we won’t be able to own/drive cars like these big diesel L322s. So “enjoy it while you can”!
will the carplay mod work on 2006 range rover vogue?
Check their website. I don’t believe it will.
Does anyone know if petrol RR engines can be re-mapped and if so would the potential benefits be similar to a diesel?
Is your Supercharged Jerry? If so you can map it and get a smaller supercharger pulley for a similar gain 🔥👍
No supercharged here! I feel so embarrassed! I guess my 380 horse powered dog and I will just have to stay in the slow lane, huh?
@@jerrygreene7139 😂, still more than a mapped TDV8. You can probably still remap it but it’ll be a less drastic improvement.
Would be interesting to see a dyno of the remap because as with most remaps its not just headline figures but the area under the graph that tells the real story.
Yeah, reviews of a remap without torque curves are basically meaningless, IMHO.
Hey Sam!
Been watching for 2 years now and I kinda got a problem with Range Rovers(thx), i want to buy a 09/2011 4.4 Tdv8 L322 Autobiography and the dealer said that the engine doesn't turn and that it has camshaft bearing problems, i think i can get it for 7000 euros. Is it worth the hustle, is it an expensive repair, should i risk it?
Please Don’t… it sounds expensive already.
Where abouts are you located? 7k for a dead 4.4 would be pretty steep, even here in Ireland where the prices are high! If you're confident on the tools, know where you can get the parts you need, and think it's good value - I'd say go for it. But otherwise, leave it be!
@@SamsMotors I'm from Romania, the car is in Germany, 7000 Euros without negotiating, i won't pay more than 5000.
Second hand engines, refurbished ones are 5-6k.
The frontrunner rack *does not* bolt directly to the mounting points, it needs drilling. I'm guessing you bought yours second hand (I think you mentioned this in an earlier video?) and it'd already been drilled, but you do need to drill a new mounting point to bolt it onto the existing holes!
Very curious about the EGF and DPR mods you've maybe or maybe not done... ;)
I think you misunderstand, I mean it picks up on the 6 factory M8 holes in the RR's roof, so no drilling *of the roof* required, or any clamps etc.
@@SamsMotors Gotchya, yes, but if you’re drilling the roof rails then it doesn’t matter where the factory mounting points are as you’re drilling them to suit, right? :)
I just wanted to make sure people knew they would need to drill the roof rack to make it fit, it’s not just plug and play. There may have been a specific l322 kit at some point, from what I can tell, but if you buy a new front runner rack today you have to drill the rails to suit the mounting points on the roof.
@@JohnBaxendale Yes, fair point! I think drilling a couple of holes in the rails isn’t too far beyond the wit of man though 😅
@@SamsMotors For sure, simple job! FrontRunners support team and indeed their instructions, actually tell you that you need to drill *the roof* to fit this rack, which is really bizarre :)
Currently running 4.4litre v8 petrol vogue 2003, 11.8mpg, any ideas?
Take your lead boots off 😅
Tried a good service? All filters and plugs etc, start there 👍
Hey Sam… is the remap available for petrol engines? Wanting to give the LR4 5.0 V8 a little more go haha
I don’t think there’s much to be done with a remap on naturally aspirated petrols unfortunately
@@SamsMotors ah gotcha! Thank you!
Cheers from across the lake!
@@free2chasehappy if it was supercharged it would be a different kettle of fish entirely… smaller charger pulley + remap would see similar gains to the diesels.
@@SamsMotors sweet! Now you got me excited! My dream is to drop a supercharged 5.0 from the range rover into the LR4. Big dreams.
Agree on everything apart from the chinese infotainment system, not that it is bad. But just to enjoy the car as it is, already we use every day all day our smartphones, this is a nice way to get away from it..
wont the extra 2 ins on your tyres throw out the speedo ,thanks for the video
It does yes. There is a way to calibrate the tyre size which I’ll be covering in an upcoming video.
great
@@SamsMotors
if i remember right and it gets hard after a stroke you change the speedo drive @@SamsMotors
@@eddieMurphy11111 as it’s a fully electronic system there isn’t a drive to change as such. It can just be changed using the correct diagnostic tool.
something else i have lerned thank you@@SamsMotors
Did you ever find the reason for your ride feeling not quite right?
I haven't found the 'smoking gun' that has completely resolved it, no. But the fixes and repairs that I've done over the last couple of years have all improved it bit-by-bit, to where it's pretty good now. I'm still thinking about trying to fully 'solve' it though!
I have to take out the whole dashboard for changing a radio? 😂
What year is this model?
2011 👍
Why is the 2006-2009 American versioon with 4.4 Jag motor so horrible and many issues?
I don’t think it is, the Jag 4.4 has a reputation as being more dependable than the earlier BMW 4.4. The later cars generally have less niggles though, as they’d worked out the kinks by the time the 2009 facelift came around.
Link for the carplay?
My kit is from Unique Auto Developments in the UK.
@@SamsMotors Amazing, is there a website or something? Do you think they would ship to Canada?
Link here: unique-ad.co.uk/product/wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-interface-for-land-rover-range-rover-sport-l320-range-rover-l322-discovery-4-2009-2012/
I'm sure they ship all over the world, but it'll be at extra cost I'm sure.
Since when can you not mention dpf mods on youtube .. darkside dont seem to have those issues?
I have a very good condition L322 and , once put under the reality microscope , it is a total disaster , the damn thing breaks down , for ever sends out ghost errors and costs a fortune in maintainance , then you look at the balance sheet of what you paid , what the repairs cost , including services and current value , it is pointless to try and sell because you will only get what everyone else's unmaintained old piece of crud's worth , the best place for these , no matter how good is the scrap heap
Sounds like poor servicing skills to me 🤷♂️
Are ye hoping to buy a place near to where your living? There are a couple of "project" houses not too far from you.
Ironically Autodoc's app doesn't work in Ireland!
Yeah! Their website does though, and the prices/deals are the same on there 👍
Nice mods that cannot be mentioned 😂
What are the mods that cant be mentioned??
Cannot mention
Jeremy Who?
1:37 driver in the background is reversing bloody quick!
Haha 😂
Tires....really? Lost interest already. Oh look at what a quick Google search found. Upgraded aftermarket LED headlight assemblies that mimic the L405 style headlights. Also a touch screen replacement HVAC controls and a larger touch screen navigation screen. What's this also upgraded metal alloy engine coolant pipes. Those are the mods that should be featured in videos. Headlights, full-sized touch screen navigation, touch screen HVAC panel, metal alloy cooling pipes.
Are you an AI?
Had your poo recycler fallen off like the tend to in this model…have heard no one goes looking for them when they do
No idea what you’re talking about officer 🧐😇
I am a female. There are more than 1% of us watching
Good to know 😁
