MG D i prefer this shape too, but that new one drives even better

Nah, you are just being nostalgic. It looks too tall and dorky. Kinda like a london cab.

Very nice! Awesome car!

Exactly! My sentiments these cars are just soooooo good 😎

Until they break down

I agree with you but it’s important to reach that conclusion in the knowledge that these vehicles are not cheap to run. If you can set aside a few grand each year to cover the potential problems, and have good roadside assistance cover and alternative transport if needed, then the indulgence is worth it. If you have to spend a couple of hours of your life each day behind the wheel,, why waste the opportunity to make it an enjoyable experience?

thank you, and i really appreciate you watching my videos and taking the time to leave a comment

Thanks for that and thank you for watching 😎

thank you, glad you liked it, thanks for watching

I have to say that it is fantastic, you drive everywhere at tickover, quiet , comfortable and irons out the potholes in our terrible roads

It is an amazing car! My mum used to own one, it is an absolute amazing car, extremely pricy and/or expensive, but it’s definitely worth the money I would think!

Luke Alex your Mum has a great taste in cars 👍

Glad I could help! enjoy!

@@BarrieCrampton Hi Barrie.... I'm looking at a 2012 Supercharged Range Rover with 90,000 miles on it. They want $19,499....There are no headsets for the rear entertainment and there is no rear trunk area cover. In your opinion, do you think it's a good deal?

i love these cars

definitely my favourite, I've just been using a new shape one too, and that is even better

sounds awesome

thanks for watching

How comfortable is 2010 Defender I like the short version of it ? I imagine seat very hard ( military feeling ) got 2 L 322 supercharged 2007 and 4.4 2004 HSE , so comfortable !!

yep its beautiful

Great cars and fantastic specification

Beautiful to drive

youre welcome, Billy Smith is a good mate!

👍 a beast, just sold a new shape 4.4 today

@@BarrieCrampton Yes great engine, actually like the 3.6 TDV8 as well, looking forward to weekends fixing it

Prestons Vale Farm you are welcome

We agree! best car on the road

nigel byrne thankyou, 22 inch Rims look fantastic but imho they do compromise the ride, more tyre noise, hardly any rubber between the rims and the pot holes means that all to often the rims get buckled or flats on them and it ends up feeling like you are driving on threepenny bits

Yes I take your point on the wheels I must say no other way to travel really

Mh dream car too 👍

There are firms that can put tint film on the windows

The Vogue drives better, the 4.4 is awesome but for me the 3.0 Sport is ideal, and fairly economical too considering its size

it is very nice

wow thats incredible

Yes I know Belgium they just overtaxing big engine for no reason … so you don’t see that much big engine size model

Only ever sent 1 car to South Africa before and as i remember it was a long process, not easy and you have to do it as a personal import, and they arrange all between collection and delivery

Brilliant Car, its sat outside now :-)

Gary Hawkins youl have keep counting for repairs

Shannon Sharpe I know - I already have a 2007 Range Rover, I’m looking to upgrade later in the year!

@@garyhawkins-pianoteacherpi6490 Its one of the most unreliable cars ever, a guy at work had to spend over £5000 on an engine and transmission rebuild. If you don't have disposable income stay away from the TDV8.

Well thats one example that you know of, how many other perfectly satisfied owners do you know? None of the cars we have sold have given us any trouble at all, We have had lots of problems with Mercedes Benz and Bmw’s and Porsches though

Thanks and thanks for watching, the gopros exaggerate it but i do sit a long way back

Marcus Skyfall kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9R3ZcSlv52peHU.html 😊

they did the rotary gear selector for a few years here in the uk but before and after were the usual gear stick

Funnily enough, i was just reading about a young lady who had to have part of her skull removed as an airbag smashed har own leg into her head, so i will continue to sit and drive in the position i do thank you very much kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9R3ZcSlv52peHU.html

well I've driven to the South of France and back, 2200 Mile round trip and actually if you class that as a long journey i was pretty good thanks

That’s an ill-advised driving position. No leverage and minimal control in an accident or emergency.

Drive how you feel comfortable. I'm sure Barrie is very experienced here lol

LOL only driving it for 5 minutes, I've bought and sold about 50 Range rovers over the past 4 years. We are responsible for both reconditioning and warranty when we sell them, and from memory, we have had one airbag problem £250, one suspension compressor and we bought it like that (£600) a heated windscreen problem which was a fuse 50p, and a Turbo Actuator which was stuck and we freed it off, a cooling fan for a heated and cooled seat £250, apart from that they have been great cars, I've done about 40,000 miles in various cars, and my customers have covered approximately 700,000 Miles between them, so i would consider myself to be included in your "Anyone in the Know" section and i think they are great cars that if looked after and maintained are equally as good if not better than Mercedes or BMW, oh and I have been in the Motor Trade for 50 years too

@@BarrieCrampton OK I stand corrected, but I can only go from my personal experience. I have a 2002 Vogue (L322). Yes it's the earlier slightly under powered BMW set up which I bought with 150k on the clock, but even with that, after covering a further 40k myself I (although spread over 10 years as it's a holiday car abroad) would not have expected.... rreplacement gearbox (recon), replaced turbocharger, both front air suspension bags, wiper motor, fuel pump, handbrake assembly, brake caliper, discs & brake pipe, bodywork repair (rusting on wheel arch where water collects behind it,) replaced trim mouldings below front seat, rear light cluster lens covers, upper brake light lens cover, various lesser suspension parts, and probably more I've forgotten; total spend (routine servicing aside) around £15k. is it possible that those 50 cars pass through your hands fairly quickly before these big issues arise? Nobody would be happier than me to learn that more recent models are more reliable because I'm thinking of trading in my Toyota Land Cruiser LC3 for a 2014-ish Range Rover but it's a brave move as I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how the Land Cruiser compares with the Range Rover for reliability. 5 mins on google for reviews will tell the story. And I'm not a hater (I can't be if I've kept mine on the road regardless of cost) they are awesome vehicles but surely youre not suggesting they aren't expensive to maintain? You'd be the first I've ever heard to claim that.

Justin Neill sounds like you have been unlucky, weve had all sorts of ages and mileages, and believe me if something goes wrong with a car even if its out of warranty customers cant wait to tell you. Also we have experience with other older vehicles like Bmws which ingest swirl flaps and blow the engines up, chew through timing chains causing catastrophic engine failure, bodh control units £800 stupid led lamps where 1 led goes and a new lamp costs £390 VW’s injectors £350 1 goes and the whole car stops, egr valves £600, minis exploding gearboxes, renault every single electrical item in the car, Audis Air Bag ecus £1000 Fords turbos, engines blowing up, etc etc, i could go on, and on, and on

@@BarrieCrampton OK, I think I'm going to go for it. My Land Cruiser appears to have been written off after I took it through deep water without a snorkel which entered the air intake, that's why I'm in the market. I was shocked, it was within the manufacturer's wading depth and they are supposed to be unstoppable but I think a sudden wave lapped over. I know the Rangie has an extra 20cm wading depth and that matters where I live! Our local Land Rover dealership has a better reputation than the Toyota dealer which is just as important as reliability because maintenance is as expensive as the garage wants it to be!

well funny you should ask, so let me explain kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9R3ZcSlv52peHU.html

look where i sit, the front seat is right the way back normally there would be more room

it was a great car, i did use it for a short while but we are a garage and it sold quickly but i cant remember how much for

we've had cars in with well over 100,000 miles and they drive like new, I expect if the car has had a hard life and poorly serviced like any car it could develop problems, you just need to limit your possible exposure by getting a nice example with a good service history

@@BarrieCrampton very good advice, but i was taken aback by that comment on honestjohns car review site. ( transmission usually lasts about 100k miles, costs 6k to replace)? They make out its a very common issue, which its not.

If you are looking for a conformist or a driving instructor I’m afraid you’ve got the wrong guy, sorry kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9R3ZcSlv52peHU.html

some of the RR have high back seats and low back rests, i dont particularly like sitting in the back as a passenger but then i always drive anyway

I'm 6"3 and can get in the back behind drivers seat set up for me. What you mean is, absolute imbeciles who have the seat too far back and have the tilt almost horizontal.

Repair bills

they get a lot of bad publicity, I think it is because people expect more of British Built Products, and hold the manufacturers to a higher standard, but the truth is that we sell lots of LandRover Cars, and they go wrong less than Audis, Mercedes, and Certainly BMWs,

not if you get a good well looked after and serviced example

No, it only happens that you find your car laid on the ground in the morning.

yes, I think the old shape is more "In your face" but if you have the money the new one drives even better

Just sold my 2012 Westminster after 150,000 miles, absolutely loved it and it was totally reliable (unusual for a RR!), I've now got a new shape 4.4 Autobiography. The new one is better in almost every department but it doesn't have the same sense of occasion the L322 does, they are fantastic cars for what you can buy them for, but make sure you get the later 4.4 with the 8 speed gearbox, it's night and day better and much more reliable and surprisingly frugal ( I averaged 30MPG)

How do you mean?

@@BarrieCrampton I mean you're parked up obstructing the public highway, on a bend in the road, putting other road users at risk. All for the sake of a you tube video.

@@John_Wood_ I'm afraid you are completely wrong, that road is a dead end and there are vehicles parked all up the road and I am not obstructing anyone

@@BarrieCrampton LOL, you're some laugh. The video shows that not to be the case!

@@John_Wood_ Because I've edited it to look like its not,

i'm from Preston Lancashire and we have customers from all over the UK coming to buy cars from us

Someone drove it there?

I think you could install one. I'm not sure,just thinking.

@@MrHemofilic I sold it now 2 months ago, but ta!

Your powers of deduction are incredible, so what do you think im turning the steering wheel with 😂

@@BarrieCrampton finger tips

All good, but thanks for your concern, i try and sit as far away from things that are designed to explode in your face as i can 👍

@@BarrieCrampton I can see where you are coming from, it is ok but you will have less control in an emergency, but I like your camera angles:)

What a car :-)

Bro you drive how you are comfortable and i will drive how I feel comfortable, if you cant handle that then adios!

Oh and fyi kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9R3ZcSlv52peHU.html

this should explain it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9R3ZcSlv52peHU.html

I sit where I am comfortable thank you, and Range Rovers are great cars and reliable too, if they weren't, we wouldn't sell them . But thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment kzfaq.info?o=U&video_id=anG2atZ7EHA
