Matt, while I’m also a self confessed LR addict, I had two L405’s from new, back to back and they were dogs. The P525 was incredible but broke down twice in 36 hours, lesson learned.
What issues did you have? Reliability is my big concern. I've heard they aren't as bad as they used to be. Now that they are using the n63 motor from BMW, I might opt for that.
@@HighPeakAutos you should run a competition to see how many range rovers you've reviewed on this channel, it might stimulate views on other reviews whilst viewers are trying to count the range rover ones :)

I hope you get to review the new xc90 t8 soon. From what I can tell, we share a similar appreciation for certain cars and the aforementioned Volvo has been my biggest ownership surprise in recent years. Just a terrific all rounder. That said, I still miss the sense of accomplishment you get behind the wheel of the Range Rover.
Honestly despite their commonality, i must say a green, l405, 4.4 sdv8 autobiography is my dream car! Just got to get a well payed job and save enough money to drop 80grand on it 🤣
Hey Jamie, There are software engineering apprenticeships which pay you a salary to become a software engineer. 4-5 years in, you can make 6 figures. If you dont fancy tech, there are apprenticeships for almost every industry, once again, you re getting paid to learn during it. There s your solution for your car. Thanks for coming to my HPA talk
Mate of mine just payed £106000 for his. Just taken it in for the 1000 mile run in service check and when he asked if everything was OK they said " yes just a little oil leak on gearbox but nothing to worry about yet". I was daft enough to have 2 and both threw out so much transmission fluid I had to have my drive re- block paved. My wife and I used to try and guess the stance of ours in the morning as the air suspension would constantly play up and leave the rear or the front on the ground. When they work they are great but you know when it's getting bad when your on fist name terms with the recovery drivers.
An oil leak after just 1000 miles for a >£100k vehicle (presumably from new at that price)? To call that worrying is like calling a broken leg "inconvenient". 😬
@@TheFlyingClutchman Opinion isn’t fact, like a feeling is just of personal nostalgia but isn’t fact…. As a brother of a sibling who owns and operates two JLR franchises not because of the “Best 4x4xfar” played for the public but the income it suggests (even though the warranty work is crazy) is very lucrative for the family member… JLR vehicles are poorly constructed, parts are not substantial, quality just isn’t there even though the engines used in Europe are not the same as used in the US (variants) electronics still fail engines with or with a SC continue to fail, the diesels have issues, they’ve even had UK JLR factory technicians fly over for few weeks at a time trying to figure out the issues.

Great to see another RR video from you Matt. Your enthusiasm is addictive and your confidence in the brand is heartily encouraging. Your previous one is serving me well.
As an auto el;ectrician i see loads of these motors and they are an absolute nightmare, great when everything is working but a money pit when they go wrong.
They only go wrong because people don't get them serviced correctly. The Majority of the issues regarding the RR, is the air suspension. But, its a luxury that sets the RR aside from the competition, so, if you bare this in mind when purchasing, and set money aside for when you do have issues, you can get it sorted. Plus remember, you can usually still drive the RR when there are Air Suspension issues.
Sadly my recent ownership experience of an approved used RRS was poor. 3 electronic faults that caused the car to cut out and a diesel leak, combined with a dealer that supplied me with a hire car without functioning aircon and for a weekend only when the car hadn't even started being worked on convinced me that for all the good things, I was going to have to pay a high price in wasted time. So I bought a 21 plate Lexus RX450h, which is more comfortable, just as capable round corners, and hopefully never to become a regular at the dealer. Je ne regrette rien!
Nice video again Matt. Surely Land Rover should be sending out the key boxes, (with the LR logo on them) to counteract the the piss poor theft security. But no, just let the insurance company's pick up the tab for an ill thought out system. I saw a late Range Rover Velar parked down the road last week, probably worth £100000 plus, had a steering wheel lock on it. Something is not quite right is it!
This is not just a JLR issue. They have the same problems with Mercs, BMW, Porche. Scanners for theses cars can be brought of certain auction sites. There are plenty of youtube video's on the subject.
I've kept all my car keys in a deep silver bowl for the last 7 years for exactly this reason. Never trusted the wireless security ever since they came out with keyless start....
I totally agree with your review. I have just swapped my 2018 P525 Autobiography for a newer low mileage 2020 SV Autobiography P565. This has every option imaginable and is almost too powerful and harder riding than the P525. I can safely say that the P525 is the best and most satisfying car I have ever owned. It was a beautiful Dark Metallic Racing Green with a Tan Leather interior and always felt really special. I have gone for the the 2020 SV while I wait for my series 5 to arrive. Pity about the change of engine from the 5L V8 supercharged to a 4.4L BMW V8 Twin Turbo in the new model. I have really like the 5L V8 , the economy is quite respectable. I think the P525 2018 model is an extremely hard act to beat!
You're right on two fronts here: (i) time is the most precious commodity and (ii) although I hanker after a Range Rover, there's no justification for spending £60-80k on one ...
Just worked out I first drove a Range Rover 42 years ago! I have owned them for 35 years. They are the best. You have to put up with occasional sarcastic reliability comments mainly from those who have never owned one and who keep surprisingly quiet when their BMW is in for repair. The Range Rover versatility and driving experience makes it worthwhile though. Nobody does it better - as Carly sang.
As a car fan I can appreciate many vehicles I'd have no need or desire to own . Just can't get the range rover unless you need the 4x4 as a necessity . Each to their own.
I love your Range Rover videos! I have a 2017 here in America and I chose the td6 because of you! And I absolutely love it! SVO Windward grey color and all the options you could get in the US. I actually prefer it over the facelift models because I get actual buttons for climate and seats but with the new tech! Thanks again for steering me in the right direction!!!
I always liked the look of the RR after considering a Cayenne too I just took delivery of a X5 45e as reliability is paramount to me the RR scares me that way.
Absolutely fantastic video, really do love Range Rovers and this is a total stunner. I agree, if your going to get something so luxurious and refined you may as well get it with a big V8 😊👌🏻👍🏻
My Peugeot 3008 1.5 hdi eat8 does 60 mpg and, it has heated massage seats, opening pan roof, power tailgate. Full LED lights front and back and yes, it only has 130 hp but, that’s plenty the way the roads are these days. Range Rovers are nice but, cost far too much to run sadly.
I am a total disbeliever till I see something myself... And, the new Disco Sport has keyless entry, so I dutifully bought a faraday box for the keys, thinking "this will be a right load of wank"... But no, I was proved wrong, as per science. Stood right next to the car with the box open, and the doors unlocked. Box closed, doors wouldn't unlock. ABSOLUTE MUST for anyone with keyless entry.
Just bought one and quite literally the most comfortable vehicle I’ve ever driven. All my friends have negative opinions about the Range Rover, I think it’s amazing and I already want another one!
I agree Matt. The Range Rover is the best car in the world. It’s not my number one favourite car. But it does everything well. And you’ve got to tip your hat to the Range Rover for doing so
Maybe I'm just a cheap skate but I could never justify spending a grand a month on a car, as much as I'd like one but every month I'd make a payment I'd be thinking... 'That's 2 more weeks added onto my retirement' I'd rather save the cash and retire at a reasonable age where I can enjoy it, rather than being 67 years old and have a knackered body. I'd really love one, I'm sure and when I see people driving them I am envious and it does make me think twice and question my choices a little. One day maybe. Edited to say If you're going to buy this type of car, buy the RR All the rest are trying to be it, the RR is the car they're trying to emulate.
That 5.0 Supercharged V8 is probably The Best engine JLR have ever made. I love it in the XF & XK and it makes a lot of sense in the RR L405. So Matt ... is that While L405 of yours finally a "Keeper" ? or are you already looking to upgrade ? ... as hard as that's going to be.
A substantial part of the cost on this car is spent on a brilliant off-road system ... which 98% of people never use. It is dauntingly big and intimidating for other road users, as round my area in Yorkshire I am amazed how fast they are driven. I would buy a Mercedes E-class estate instead. Honest!! In fact I did.
There’s something special about a full size Range Rover. Just as there was something special about the Discovery (before they curvified it and ruined it) and the Defender. Land Rover are capable of making some truly outstanding machines. It’s a shame that they’ve sullied this with abominations like the Range Rover Sport, Evoque and new Discovery, but hey, they know where the money is to be made, and there are a lot of loaded housewives out there. My next car will either be an M3 or a full size Range Rover. Very different cars. I wish I had the space, and the cash, for both.
THAT sir, was like listening to poetry whilst taking a drive with you in the beautiful landscape of your Country.👌 Many dream of it, you sir drive in it. "Cheers"🤩🙏
Matt, you are a car guy and I hold your opinion to a high standard. However, the Range Rover and Land Rover are rated at the top or near the top of the most unreliable vehicles here in the US. Is the UK version better than what they send to the states? I've always been a fan of the exterior and interior looks of the RR. A friend has 2 of them, one to drive, and the other to drive when one is in the shop! P.S. You're getting better mpg than my Lexus IS AWD.
Love your videos. I have a 2012 RR L322 V8. Bought with 45k miles five years ago. The only issues we've had is the front air shocks started leaking and the HVAC fan went. I replaced both myself and all good. Now has 115k miles. We just added a 2020 RR SV Autobiography this week. Only 22k miles on her and she's a beauty. The wife will drive the new one while I'm happy with the 2012 (love the boxy look of the L322). The newest model hasn't grown on my yet.
quick: for that price, I would try to get a used Mercedes G 400 D. The absolute best off-roader and depreciation is just not an issue. Pls. review one , if you can get hold on them. Currently, you wait over 2 years for a new one. A 2019, 3yrs old, G 400 d w/243 kW, some 120 Tkm (!) is still ca 150 k Euros; new they were ca 163 k Euros. No depreciation.Build quality is unsurpassed. I am not a poor man, but still too expensive for me..... In CH + D, only pimps, drug dealers and traffickers from some regions of Europa are driving an AMG G model. Waiting for a longer test, at least 1/2 hour...
Considering that the Range Rover Classic V8s did between 9 and 12mpg, I think that fuel consumption is pretty blooming amazing. When pulling a horse trailer in a very old Suffix A back in the 90s when such a thing was worthless, we got about 5 or 6 mpg. Mind you, petrol was 58p per litre at the time. Oh, those were the days. Before Biden and Johnson messed everything up. ****S.
I have a 2013 L405 autobiography 4.4 V8. And whilst it is stunningly beautiful to behold, it's been the most unreliable annoying stressful car I've ever owned. I look at it and think, wow it's amazing I'm so lucky, then I realise what an expensive arsehole it's been to me. Never again. My two previous Skoda Octavia vrs and Superb Sportlines were utterly flawless. Stick to good cars and not what your childhood dream car was.
Hi Matt great video looking forward to seeing your new car in detail it’s stunning there’s just something about a Range Rover especially a white one beautiful cars that if looked after will do everything you could ever want my white L322 has been amazing even though I would love a L405 I’d find it hard to get rid of if because she been the best car I’ve ever owned hope you are well best wishes ian
Absolute monstrosity. No such thing as a "less gaudy" Range Rover. Honestly don't see what anyone sees in them, but I suppose we all like different stuff.
I went on one of those Land Rover experiences in Cheshire and took a full size RR through the mountains and rivers, and it's an awe inspiring machine... off road... then I took it on road and I was gobsmacked at just how dull and lifeless it is to drive. It makes a case for being the best of the cumbersome twat-panzers, but best all round CAR? No way.
Adidas and Puma are both German, founded by two brothers...Adolf Dassler and his brother Rudolf... just a bit of useless information for your subscribers 😂👍
I’ve just bought a late 2019 autobiography with 36k miles and under LR warranty. P400E… Moving out of a 2022 C220d estate… it has hard suspension and fake leather…1st and last Mercedes. My focus is on comfort.
Excessive yes but what a machine, You only live once so why not, nice review Matt thank you PS any chance of a review of the Velar should one come your way….😀
I have the same car as you. 2020 5.0sc AB. Excellent in many respects except I can’t find tyres and wheels that quite work. I’d never put more than a 20” on. But that leaves a lot of wasted sidewall available. Curious what you fitted to yours.
That is some motor mat the dogs conkers looks stunning beautiful in white and looks amazing keep the videos coming mat just wish I could afford one so I got to stick with me v70 2.4d 😀
Hello Again. 'Matt', really think the Ranage Rover is great, but sorry, I realise you don't make a great deal of money from vehicle 'dealing', but please buy some jeans without worn out knees. Regards, RichardA.
Coke contains phosphoric acid which dentists use to dissolve tooth enamel. It is addictive because of caffeine and sugar. Look at mo Norman, he took 30 a day and his teeth dissolved. I loved coke but stopped 30 years ago.
Just don't like the L405. It's not a Range Rover any more. Too sleek, too refined, too curvy too tech heavy. If you want a REAL Range Rover, nothing beats the L322. Oh, and it's also about £70k cheaper. Considering what you get I think that's unbelievable value, which the L405 simply isn't.
Buy a late 2015-2017 euro 6 4.4 sdv8 and upgrade the infotainment and hvac screens, costa about 1200 and the aftermarket android systems are better than the LR OEM. You'll save 15k and still have a great car
A year on with the way Land Rover thefts have gone I’m guessing this has lost £30k + 😮. Good news is 2018 onwards there’s an security update due soon from JLR, let’s hope this helps bounce prices back, still £30k + loss in a year is ridiculous
I think...as well as the Range Rover lover knows....they are no longer vehicles that are subtle...they are just big monsters on the road....the Range Rover moniker is now lost....
I must say…. I absolutely love your videos. Every day I check in to see if there is a new video. It doesn’t matter which car you are reviewing, I just enjoy them all. In particular I like your videos on old cars because, lets face it, thats what most of us can afford. Please keep up the great work 🙏🏼
Matt. I really enjoy and watch all of your videos, so a big fan. However, l find any comments devaluing cyclists lives really concerning. I am a father of two and grandad to a lovely little boy and girl and as a regular cyclist l think they would like me on this earth rather than another or in a hospital bed fighting for my life due to being hit by a motorist who has been conditioned by media to treat anyone on two wheels as a low life. So comments like this are cheap and distasteful. Most probably valuing the car rather than a fellow human being. Nuf said.
Agreed, funny anouth I’m on route to buy one today if all goes well. Carnt wait to have a Rangy back in my life. It’s is one of these things you ever love them or hate them. But my experience has been mostly positive with only one issue I’ve several ownerships.
Honest to God, JLR should start paying you! And seriously back-pay you. I bet no one in their sales stuff has convinced more people to love the brand than you have. All over the planet as well!
Dropping out of the Range Rover in your jeans with holes, and hoodie ought to do wonders for your dating life......."...every girls crazy 'bought a sharp dressed man..."

i bought a 4.4 l405 two weeks ago thanks to you and its great i love it .but i do agree about the seats num bum.but i can live with that.very nice car but not in white.
Appreciate that we are in a different world now 1 year on and apparently the bottom is dropping out of used car prices especially big lumps but.... I need something bigger than our Sportage and want luxury and am considering a RR so would you go for the V6 or V8 diesel ??
Sir the whom buy the range rover l405 ( Autobiography ) as you drive must have two important characteristics , first have a lot of money , and that not enough so the second must be not just smart one but must be genius , as they say there is two thing must all know in these world , the Pyramids in Egypt land & Range Rover .

theft block box (faraday box) only works while its in the box, a common issue is people are now adapting, example they will follow you on your weekly/ daily trip, have 2 devices, one to capture the rolling key code, and another to block the car receiving any code, once they have captured the code they unlock your car and your in and think nothing of it, then once u go back home they can use the code your key generated which was not received by the car so therefor not discarded, and can unlock your car and drive away while your key is safe in the faraday box.

Why does it always sound like he's reading off a teleprompter, but isn't?
Maybe I'm just a cheap skate but I could never justify spending a grand a month on a car, as much as I'd like one but every month I'd make a payment I'd be thinking...
'That's 2 more weeks added onto my retirement'
I'd rather save the cash and retire at a reasonable age where I can enjoy it, rather than being 67 years old and have a knackered body.
I'd really love one, I'm sure and when I see people driving them I am envious and it does make me think twice and question my choices a little.
One day maybe.
Edited to say
If you're going to buy this type of car, buy the RR
All the rest are trying to be it, the RR is the car they're trying to emulate.
Oh...it’s expensive AND...ITS SHIT
Simply,
You are an excellent Ultimate Driving Machine Specialist.
Best commentary masterpiece.
That 5.0 Supercharged V8 is probably The Best engine JLR have ever made. I love it in the XF & XK and it makes a lot of sense in the RR L405.
So Matt ... is that While L405 of yours finally a "Keeper" ? or are you already looking to upgrade ? ... as hard as that's going to be.
I see you have it up for sale now…. What’s next??
The car is worth more than most of the houses he's driving past!
Matt, I’ve not owned a car with ventilated seats. Are these essentially fart extractors ?
Stick to licking windows mate, leave the comments section to people with something sensible or funny to say 👍🏻
*Should I buy one, nope but if anyone wanted to give me a free one I'd take it and then sell it asap* 🤣
£160,000 for the new model?😮Blimey, didn't know they were that cheap. At that price I think I'll have two.😂😆
It's all well and good until something breaks
Yes range rover is your sort of car along with that tacky top.
Looked like the back of Mini Cooper at first from that angle 1:28- 1:29
Good job on the camera work on this video! Its a good step up from before :D
A substantial part of the cost on this car is spent on a brilliant off-road system ... which 98% of people never use. It is dauntingly big and intimidating for other road users, as round my area in Yorkshire I am amazed how fast they are driven. I would buy a Mercedes E-class estate instead. Honest!! In fact I did.
There’s something special about a full size Range Rover. Just as there was something special about the Discovery (before they curvified it and ruined it) and the Defender.
Land Rover are capable of making some truly outstanding machines. It’s a shame that they’ve sullied this with abominations like the Range Rover Sport, Evoque and new Discovery, but hey, they know where the money is to be made, and there are a lot of loaded housewives out there.
My next car will either be an M3 or a full size Range Rover. Very different cars. I wish I had the space, and the cash, for both.
THAT sir, was like listening to poetry whilst taking a drive with you in the beautiful landscape of your Country.👌
Many dream of it, you sir drive in it. "Cheers"🤩🙏
Thanks for watching
Matt, you are a car guy and I hold your opinion to a high standard. However, the Range Rover and Land Rover are rated at the top or near the top of the most unreliable vehicles here in the US. Is the UK version better than what they send to the states? I've always been a fan of the exterior and interior looks of the RR. A friend has 2 of them, one to drive, and the other to drive when one is in the shop!
P.S. You're getting better mpg than my Lexus IS AWD.
These things are infamous for turning into money pits after 4 or 5 years.......
Which is why they loose half their value in 5 years.
You reviews are fault less really professional
Thanks!
I Totally agree 👍👍
You forgot to mention that the seats with their ‘massaging’ include a happy ending
My old man , always said . If you’ve earned it have it
Unless of course your married with kids 😂😂😂😂😂
A Range Rover is the car to have, but for now It'll just have to be the Evoque
Love your videos. I have a 2012 RR L322 V8. Bought with 45k miles five years ago. The only issues we've had is the front air shocks started leaking and the HVAC fan went. I replaced both myself and all good. Now has 115k miles. We just added a 2020 RR SV Autobiography this week. Only 22k miles on her and she's a beauty. The wife will drive the new one while I'm happy with the 2012 (love the boxy look of the L322). The newest model hasn't grown on my yet.
quick: for that price, I would try to get a used Mercedes G 400 D. The absolute best off-roader and depreciation is just not an issue. Pls. review one , if you can get hold on them. Currently, you wait over 2 years for a new one. A 2019, 3yrs old, G 400 d w/243 kW, some 120 Tkm (!) is still ca 150 k Euros; new they were ca 163 k Euros. No depreciation.Build quality is unsurpassed. I am not a poor man, but still too expensive for me..... In CH + D, only pimps, drug dealers and traffickers from some regions of Europa are driving an AMG G model. Waiting for a longer test, at least 1/2 hour...
Considering that the Range Rover Classic V8s did between 9 and 12mpg, I think that fuel consumption is pretty blooming amazing. When pulling a horse trailer in a very old Suffix A back in the 90s when such a thing was worthless, we got about 5 or 6 mpg. Mind you, petrol was 58p per litre at the time. Oh, those were the days. Before Biden and Johnson messed everything up. ****S.
I agree
I have a 2013 L405 autobiography 4.4 V8. And whilst it is stunningly beautiful to behold, it's been the most unreliable annoying stressful car I've ever owned. I look at it and think, wow it's amazing I'm so lucky, then I realise what an expensive arsehole it's been to me. Never again.
My two previous Skoda Octavia vrs and Superb Sportlines were utterly flawless. Stick to good cars and not what your childhood dream car was.
Hi Matt great video looking forward to seeing your new car in detail it’s stunning there’s just something about a Range Rover especially a white one beautiful cars that if looked after will do everything you could ever want my white L322 has been amazing even though I would love a L405 I’d find it hard to get rid of if because she been the best car I’ve ever owned hope you are well best wishes ian
Wow this video it's better than even Range Rover ad itself ...
Range Rover should pay you every month ..
Absolute monstrosity. No such thing as a "less gaudy" Range Rover. Honestly don't see what anyone sees in them, but I suppose we all like different stuff.
I went on one of those Land Rover experiences in Cheshire and took a full size RR through the mountains and rivers, and it's an awe inspiring machine... off road... then I took it on road and I was gobsmacked at just how dull and lifeless it is to drive. It makes a case for being the best of the cumbersome twat-panzers, but best all round CAR? No way.
Adidas and Puma are both German, founded by two brothers...Adolf Dassler and his brother Rudolf... just a bit of useless information for your subscribers 😂👍
You should review a Rangie with the strict 4 Seat Executive model in the back
I have just changed to a facelift L405 - loved the old seats - cannot get comfy in the new ones! Apparently I’m very much in a minority.
I’ve just bought a late 2019 autobiography with 36k miles and under LR warranty. P400E… Moving out of a 2022 C220d estate… it has hard suspension and fake leather…1st and last Mercedes. My focus is on comfort.
Excessive yes but what a machine, You only live once so why not, nice review Matt thank you PS any chance of a review of the Velar should one come your way….😀
I have the same car as you. 2020 5.0sc AB. Excellent in many respects except I can’t find tyres and wheels that quite work. I’d never put more than a 20” on. But that leaves a lot of wasted sidewall available. Curious what you fitted to yours.
That is some motor mat the dogs conkers looks stunning beautiful in white and looks amazing keep the videos coming mat just wish I could afford one so I got to stick with me v70 2.4d 😀
Mercedes-Benz is the best.
Great till it goes wrong then you wish you’d bought a Skoda 😃
Hey Matt, tell us the most obscure, nerdy fact you know about Range Rovers in general.
Hello Again. 'Matt', really think the Ranage Rover is great, but sorry, I realise you don't make a great deal of money from vehicle 'dealing', but please buy some jeans without worn out knees. Regards, RichardA.
Every time he gets a large bill from the Range Rover, he pulls out a thread from his jeans
Coke contains phosphoric acid which dentists use to dissolve tooth enamel. It is addictive because of caffeine and sugar. Look at mo Norman, he took 30 a day and his teeth dissolved. I loved coke but stopped 30 years ago.
Just don't like the L405. It's not a Range Rover any more. Too sleek, too refined, too curvy too tech heavy. If you want a REAL Range Rover, nothing beats the L322. Oh, and it's also about £70k cheaper. Considering what you get I think that's unbelievable value, which the L405 simply isn't.
Buy a late 2015-2017 euro 6 4.4 sdv8 and upgrade the infotainment and hvac screens, costa about 1200 and the aftermarket android systems are better than the LR OEM. You'll save 15k and still have a great car
A year on with the way Land Rover thefts have gone I’m guessing this has lost £30k + 😮. Good news is 2018 onwards there’s an security update due soon from JLR, let’s hope this helps bounce prices back, still £30k + loss in a year is ridiculous
I think...as well as the Range Rover lover knows....they are no longer vehicles that are subtle...they are just big monsters on the road....the Range Rover moniker is now lost....
Think you need to do a “state of the collection” video showing your whole fleet 👍
I must say…. I absolutely love your videos. Every day I check in to see if there is a new video. It doesn’t matter which car you are reviewing, I just enjoy them all. In particular I like your videos on old cars because, lets face it, thats what most of us can afford. Please keep up the great work 🙏🏼
Matt. I really enjoy and watch all of your videos, so a big fan. However, l find any comments devaluing cyclists lives really concerning. I am a father of two and grandad to a lovely little boy and girl and as a regular cyclist l think they would like me on this earth rather than another or in a hospital bed fighting for my life due to being hit by a motorist who has been conditioned by media to treat anyone on two wheels as a low life. So comments like this are cheap and distasteful. Most probably valuing the car rather than a fellow human being. Nuf said.
It’s entertainment, don’t hang on every word I say
Agreed, funny anouth I’m on route to buy one today if all goes well. Carnt wait to have a Rangy back in my life. It’s is one of these things you ever love them or hate them. But my experience has been mostly positive with only one issue I’ve several ownerships.
Honest to God, JLR should start paying you! And seriously back-pay you. I bet no one in their sales stuff has convinced more people to love the brand than you have. All over the planet as well!
Why would ANYONE prefer British Airways over Virgin????
Dropping out of the Range Rover in your jeans with holes, and hoodie ought to do wonders for your dating life......."...every girls crazy 'bought a sharp dressed man..."
It's not quiet it's stately. P.s I love my Land Cruiser but they're not exactly comparable vehicles! Mines more depenable than a Casio watch but it 100% does not do 0-60 in another like 5 seconds!!
i bought a 4.4 l405 two weeks ago thanks to you and its great i love it .but i do agree about the seats num bum.but i can live with that.very nice car but not in white.
I am really enjoying my 2017. Bought it 18 months ago. Still worth more than I paid for it. Not worth the additional 18k to buy a 2018 model.
Appreciate that we are in a different world now 1 year on and apparently the bottom is dropping out of used car prices especially big lumps but.... I need something bigger than our Sportage and want luxury and am considering a RR so would you go for the V6 or V8 diesel ??
If driving around in the ex motor of the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police is your thing then go for it!
🤡
Sir the whom buy the range rover l405 ( Autobiography ) as you drive must have two important characteristics , first have a lot of money , and that not enough so the second must be not just smart one but must be genius , as they say there is two thing must all know in these world , the Pyramids in Egypt land & Range Rover .
I’m actually sorry myself. I don’t want to wind you up or slate your channel.
Frustration can lead more frustration.
Simple suggestion.
Now that the economy is going to shit. Give us some sound advice on car shit and alike. Sorry for being a ball bag previously x
theft block box (faraday box) only works while its in the box, a common issue is people are now adapting, example they will follow you on your weekly/ daily trip, have 2 devices, one to capture the rolling key code, and another to block the car receiving any code, once they have captured the code they unlock your car and your in and think nothing of it, then once u go back home they can use the code your key generated which was not received by the car so therefor not discarded, and can unlock your car and drive away while your key is safe in the faraday box.
What is the point in this car? Oversized, gas guzzling, pointless, dangerous and obnoxious.
Luxurious, fast, comfortable, relaxing, regal, stately, graceful, spacious, practical, useful,
@@HighPeakAutos I bet you are one of those people who deny climate change is even happening. This car is one of the dirtiest on the road pumping out high levels of toxic chemicals. A low emission estate car could do just a good if not even better job. Put the ego aside and look at the bigger picture.
@@bigboy7561 climate change isn't happening because of humans you silly brainwashed sheep you.
Why don't they just make a key that you can switch on and off instead of one that constantly pumps out the signal 🤔
