    another positive is that it's the best looking of all RR's. timeless. much better to look at than the current car. especially true for the pre facelift L322 refined at BMW.

    Preventative maintenance and don’t buy cheap parts, regular servicing and oil changes with the correct spec oil. I love my L322 4.4TDV8 and can’t think of anything I’d replace it with.

    Oil cooler is the most common on the 4.4 (circa 800quid to fix), followed by starter motor (probably 500+labour, or free if you do it yourself and refurbish), Alternators can go, probably a grand by the time you have labour and all the "whilst you're there's".
    After that the common issues are really stuff like wires breaking or sensors for the air suspension (which are all cheap to fix). The turbo's are much more common on the 3.6, but not so much on the 4.4, I think these get tarred with the same brush though.
    After that it's all servicing. My view based on my 4 years of ownership and hanging about in the forums and watching what people report. :)

It's a go anywhere car, we've recently done the lake district 350 round trip, 5 of us plus the dog and suitcases, absolutely munched up the motorway with ease, conquered all the hills easily, down point only returned 19.8 mpg if your fussy lol. We're on our 3rd and wouldn't have anything else tbh.

    Years ago I bought a L405 Supercharged 5.0 to replace my aging L322. Since then I restored a Range Rover Classic Softdash and just picked up a California 2012 L322 with the Supercharged 5.0 as I missed my L322. I had the dealer flat bed it to my mechanic where he replaced all coolant pipes/hoses, water pump, supercharger bushing, valve covers/gaskets, fuel injectors, spark plugs, vacuum pump, trans service, t-case service, diff service.......$6,000. The timing chains were replaced at some point or that would have been another $6k. Once these cars go off warranty, they get sold to the second owner who flog them and ignore basic maintenance. Thats when they blow engines and become parts cars.

    Lucy, I think a lot of people would love to own Range Rover as they represent a luxurious and stylish vehicle.

    L322 Westminster , purchased 2019 with 55,000 miles and full service history £20k. It’s now only done 65,000 miles .
    I think new price may have been closer to £60k. Loved the video, agree with most of your views. Road tax is a rip off ULEZ 17.50 I think ? (My Euro III 2000 my motorhome is £165 Tax but ULEZ £300 a day ‘. Mine is insured in Spain €550 a year any driver.
    Tyres, I grabbed a bargain at £550 for Pirelli all-season fitted. Then my daughter stuffed it into a width restriction and shaved the wheels along with a chunk out of a tyre
    I keep saying I am going to sell it as mostly friends and family drive it. The. I get behind the wheel and it stays, for now .

    Can't disagree with what you've said and you'll definitely get people sniggering at you cos you've bought one and you can almost sense them willing it to break so they can say I told you so, but until you've owned and driven one you suddenly realise why people put up with them. Love mine anyway but even more so now after my local area had some flooding the other day and I was on my way home with my son we came across a road almost fully flooded with other cars unfortunately stuck and the rr was like goading me to keep going, we got through and the smile on both our faces was worth all the anxiety and costs associated with running one.

    I've spent many years of my life daydreaming about buying a Range Rover, spent time looking at Autotrader and independent specialists...but I always end up realising in practice I'd hate the ownership experience even though I can afford it. Thirsty unreliable old buses, put a zero on the end of your usual service or repair bill, and horrible to park up in an urban setting (I live in a city).
    So why do they attract me? I think it's because I grew up in a rural setting and a Range Rover was such a status symbol, landed gentry and all that. However, the "urban" Range Rover has morphed into something else, I know I'm right to avoid on so many levels. I still can't resist clicking on a Range Rover video though!

      Hi Jason just been reading ur comment I would like to help make ur mind up here if u want better reliability over fuel economy buy 4.2 supercharged model but before u consider l322 look at l320 it's got more muscular look I bought one 9wks ago 2006 black on black with 22in turbine alloys only done 112000 muffler delete and it's absolute Beast I'm 58 yrs old fully comp 410 pounds I've bought full service kit on eBay 49.99 and yes that's including sparkplugs Bargain and I buy oil in bulk 20litres 46.99 as u need 9 litres for these rear anti rollbar bushes mine squeaky so just ordered those borg and beck 10.35 pair easy fix if u buy before 23/3/2006 tax 415 yr after 735 yr unfortunately mine is 735 yr but if u say to urself 64 month sounds less painful haha 22in tyres best price i found 92.50 each on eBay not that i need any at moment and u can book into have them fitted on ebay when ordering chose mobile van fitting as its 9.00 pound corner where as at tyre shop its 23.00 i had 2 tyres fitted on my Chrysler 300c earlier this year 168 pounds all in and done at my house.On another note i got to disagree with somethings lucy says the parts for RRs are very reasonable mostly its the labour cost especially the Stealerships sorry meant dealership lol she pays way over the top for her range rovers this one inone of her videos I think she said they paid 8995 and the previous one was 9500 my advice to you Jason get one with part service history especially with invoices over last 4 yrs which got with mine because there's alot of motors out there with bent Mots I use Car analytics site it's free basic car check but if u want to know if car has outstanding finance or been stolen or category write off it's 9.99 I highly recommend it and look back over last 4 yrs Mots to see advisors and failed and trust me range rovers like to fail just like jaguars which i owned for over 10 years up until bought range Rover when looking at mot advisories an failed from 2020 ifthemot is bent u notice one yr lot advisories and next yr hardly any and barely failed on anything that's classic sketchy mot especially on RRs and jaguars they love to fail .I hope this will help you Jason oh and if wondering what i paid for my l320 supercharged Range Rover it was 2299 plus 450 delivered as it was in Manchester i live in Southampton it was absolute steal so whether u buy L322 or L320 sport supercharged Range Rover I wouldnt pay anymore than 3 grand and a 1k set aside for maintenance and repairs and if ur knowledgeable with cars like me do some easy jobs urself that help keep costs down even if u got stick few beers in mate hands to get help doing repairs that goes long way on saving money especially with cost of living... Anyhow apologies for such long message and I wish u well in getting ur Beast ... Regards Steve Stanton
