Change the gearbox oil , I didn’t on mine and it lasted 86k miles, 1 new box later I changed the oil each year and that box lasted 140k miles, I’m on my 3rd gearbox now. Car has done 235k miles all done by me . I bought the car new in 2002 and still drive it every day and drive it through France and down into Spain every year for the last 15 years. Great car that I look after and it looks after me , I will never sell it , it’s worth nothing but everything to me . 21 years of ownership 👏👏👏👏

Great review, I don't agree with traveling low miles but hey! each to his own. I am 59 years old and owned may cars in my lifetime. I own my 4th Range Rover, it is a 2011 4.4 L322 se vogue. In my opinion there is no better car in the world! I wouldn't think twice about touring the world in this car. I do wish I had kept my 1998 p38 2.5 ltr diesel. Still miss it.....

Hi Greg, great review :) I have similar experience with a 2007 3.6 that I bought on 180 000 miles last June. I've done 6500 miles and I do not regret as it is a very comfortable family car. I had only one issue so far, I had to change an antifreeze hose. The car is great for its aftermarket price. All repair and upgrade videos are welcome :)

I'm looking for the L322 and the problem I'm running into is there are far too many driver's that think they know better than Landrovers design department....a lot of murdered out or chrome trinket car's....I would say keep it stock. Lots of owners will drill a small hole in the rear lens as they can fill with water. Nice content buddy.

Great Content Greg, can’t wait to see what’s to come!

Crippling anxiety every time you get in the car. That had to be the best review comment I’ve ever heard!

ANY car over 100k miles will have 'issues' . People love driving their Range Rovers so put a lot of miles on them. That said RR's should carry a scanner like other cars carry a spare wheel.

At first, you were driving me nuts, for various reasons, but I genuinely loved that video! You have got yourself a subscriber, and I hope to see more of your mechanical experience. I think that is key to cheap ownership of one of these. Good luck 😀

Love this content!! Keep it up!!

This is a great review thanks Greg.

Very good Greg very clear good luck thank you very much. Blinding effort for first video

Subscribed, enjoyed your review and look forward to more. I have L 405 and Son has L322. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

As long as you maintain them well mate you can’t go wrong. 👍

Looking forward to your future content mate!

With regard to the antiroll bar bushes replace them yes and also if you look at some owners forums somewhere you will find that JLR came up with a fix, all they do is place a rubber spacer under the bush of the antiroll bar and clamp it all back down, there spacer looks like it's about 2" x 2" and about a 1/4 of an inch thick on the pics I have seen, the rear tail lights also leak which is probably why the previous owner resorted to drilling some holes in them, hope this helps

More Please😊I Bought One Recently & So Far Only Had To Replace Air Compressor & Front Struts. Now, No Check Engine Light & So Far So Good😆

I am selling my beamer in the new year and getting a RR sport. Moving away from the fast sports cars lol great video bud 👍👍

Great vid about these crazy wagons whilst not interested in today's music 😅..subd

Great video can't believe you're got 32 subscribers ,after this you've got 33 👍

Great Review Greg 👏: I bought a TDV8 3.6 270BHP on a 08 plate last year for £8.5k with 107K miles on clock. One owner from new , a Doctor, full service history. Just gone through MOT, no issues. Only money spent is full service and oil change plus gearbox fluid and seals, not bad for one year. I'm retired so not doing a lot of miles. My take on subject is, car cost not far short of £100k new, with all the whistles and bells one would expect. If I found myself faced with a £4k bill for, Gearbox or something major, it would STILL represent a good buy for money. Best car in world ....... Only issue I have at mow, like you, is rear wiper and wash. It's all one unit and my last L322 had same issue ( also is cause of tailgate rust ) I got a used part off E.Bay. Mine is Buckingham Blue, but looks black and the doctor blacked it out. All lettering front and rear are black, side vents are black, door handle covers and wing mirrors are black, side steps are black. Wheels are original chrome as original and are mint. Other than Range Rover on rear is TDV8, in black, making the car a second thought to the Boy Racers. So the economy of a diesel, but with the look and grunt of the Supercharged. I think black wheels too 🤔 would be too much. Look forward to following your journey.

Great Video, I bought a 2010 Range Rover sport with 93,000 miles and Supercharged for £8000 blind and within a few weeks the engine blew up! Due to coolant issues, anyway I paid £3000 for an engine rebuild and now everything is perfect. Its great inside and out so for £11,000 I now have the perfect car with the V8 performance.

I love these cars but can't afford them, yet. I like gunmetal grey effect on wheels. Nice video too.

Great video, thank you. I am particularly interested in your anti-roll bar bushing replacements. I have a since new 2004, L322 with 217k much loved miles. When I go over cobble stones there is a rattle slight rattle sound in the front area of the car. There was some debris in the road that I hit at highway speed with the lower trim across the front. It did not visually break the trim, but it made a thud and I wonder if something is loose down there or if it is the anti-roll bar bushings you describe. I would love it if you could record the rattle noise you hear please. Regarding the finishes, I am glad you removed the chrome wing mirrors, I suspect those were not factory spec. I vote for keeping as true to original spec as possible. I look forward to you future reports with your L322, she is sharp, congratulations.

Great content!

I believe I just added this car to my eBay watch list. So was quite staggering to stumble across this video!

For me these are the best cars in the world. You make a valid point about how costs add up because of taking it back and forth between dealerships. I would like to get more hands on with my own rangie but always worried what if I damage it in the process as I don’t really have a mechanical background

Great video. I would love a link or more information about the Bluetooth iPhone connection.

Good video well done.

Very good intro. I will follow you! I think the price of L322 will be cheaper in the light of fuel costs.

Great video !

I really like the idea of black wheels, but maybe that has been overdone a bit? Other than leaving them looking stock, I would be interested in what other options are out there. Thanks for the video and your RR is a good looking machine!

Cheers great report chap ,

Very fair assessment. One thing you didn't mention is the car tax though.

My first year of owning my 59 plate L322 tdv8, 90k miles. The dealership I bought it from had a relationship with a garage. Went their for a service two months after purchase.. low and behold, found out all the break-lines needed replacing, as they were so corroded I struggle to see how it would have been missed. From my perspective, it felt wrong, especially since that dealerships garage was the one who supposedly looked over the vehicle prior to going up for sale. So took it to another grage. That was £1300. Then, both front brackets went, another £500. Then the common fault, turbo hose..all in all, love the car, my advice would be to get the vehicle checked over by an independent. But if you buy this car, understand that failures can result in heavy months.

Thanks for this review. Is worth to mention if you got the level sensor and the front left airbag of a scrap yard seller or you bought them as new. Also what sort of money did the mechanic charged you for the job. Thank you

Totally love my L322, I actually won it on eBay for £1400. The guy who had it before me really looked after it so it sailed through the MOT last Dec. The only issue I've had is with the air suspension, I put a new battery on and seems to have solved it, I also got a icarsoft diagnostic tool which you'll find invaluable. It went down again last week and wouldn't go back up no how, I changed the fuse in the glove box fusebox which only sorted the lights on the height adjustment console but on further investigation there is also a 50A maxi fuse in the rear loadspace fusebox. My car is a 2004 l322 vogue and in the owners handbook it lists fuse 88 as being for the trailer socket??? Totally con fuse ing

How is your Range Rover holding up a year later? I am hoping to get an L322 sooner or later. They are cool cars. I’ll be looking at the 2007-2009 models, as in the US we don’t have the diesel engine for the 2010-2013 L322. Just the AJ-V8 with timing chain issues. The AJ-V8 is great when Jaguar did it right lol. It’s funny to see people in the UK talking about how large these are as well, they don’t seem large to me but then I remember I’m used to seeing giant trucks all over the place here in the US lol.

Great content. I'd keep the wheels standard.

Hey mate thanks for the video is just awesome. I just bought a 3.6 2009 overfinch Vogue with 65000 miles pay for it 13500 euros here in Spain but I found lot of rust under the car that makes me feel concern ,then another think was that went to the oficial Landrover dealer a to check for a airbag light on the screen and need to pay 600 euros ,then guess what,, the light was again and again appearing in the screen then went to a friend and suggested to change battery for 80 euros,guess what , the problem was just to change battery but Landrover garage take 600 from me..a pity waste of money.e got now got loss of steering fluid and don’t know what to do, will appreciate any help. Thanks and please keep doing videos so that we all can learn how to get our lovely cars in good shape. If you want to know more about my car let me know …thanks again to all.

Very interesting

Hi Greg. Love the content by the way. I'm from Ireland myself and ended up buying a 2011 L322 TDV8 4.4. Bought it blind for £7250 a few months ago to figure out that there was an issue with the gearbox box. Just going through the pain of getting it sorted. Was thinking of doing a few videos of my journey.

Good intro Greg, look forward to seeing the future content. I bought a 2012 L322 last May and have gone to town on it in preventative maintenance and not waited for issues to crop up. Would recommend a mega flush on the gearbox though to extend its life if not already done. 👍 Now subscribed

Nice and proper take on l322. Why did you pick 3.6L tdv8 and not 4.4L tdv8? If i recall corectly from Sam garage channel with those bigger engines was also newer gearbox, 8 speed i think, so was it fuel economy or something else? Im looking right now for 4x4 as a daily car and also offroad adventure car and this one is one of my three choices, other two are vw touareg 1 gen (pneumatic and with rear locker) and mercedes ML w163, but there is something about l322 that stuck in my head:) Maybe also becouse here in Poland there aren't many of those. Cheers mate and keep up the good work!

Great review I'm looking at a vouge that's done 116000 miles three owners and full service history 2010 in grey I learnt so much from your review I'm currently driving a jag xk 2006 54000 miles

I was lucky with mine bought it before it all kicked off my is a 2012 westminster 4.4 v8 £13400 with 123k on it when I bought it a year and 7 months ago nothing really bad went wrong I did one ride high season with cost me £30 OEM part took me about 10 minutes did both bottom lower front suspension arm that was £36 each both OEM part took a one hour todo it 2 new front tyre £105 each landsail full service £150 for all parts they are more reliable then people think for fuel they do have a 104 litre tank cost about £120 - £160 a month ( depending on day and location) at the moment I do a V power fuel mixs plus fuel clearance in to help out specially on long runs there are a great all round vehicle far better then a BMW and Audi. They do get very dirty in the back tho specially on the back window (out side) When looking for one see more than one look at services history and look on how the car as lived it life always check the milage I saw a few with about 5k different on the vehicle to what it was on one was over 7k differences. If I remember 2010 upwards it had the auxiliary heater ( FBH) as standard not sure if you got the remote for it they cost about £60 they is two different ones. Great video on it. 👍

Thanks for the good info. IMO Wheels - keep silver Chrome reduction is always good Good you like working on cars otherwise surely a dealer warranty would be required.

Hi. Great video 👍🏽 had my L322 for 8 weeks and spent £2.5k getting ‘it right’ mostly due to the car not being loved lol. Part of that was having the wheels refurbed, went for gun metal grey and they look amazing. I have the same problem with my boot too - rust! But I love the car and wouldn’t swop for anything else (unless it was a SVR! Lol)

My dad sold his after me telling him not to.. I told the new owner to maintain it cause I will eventually buy it back..

Hi You could work on your editing as you keep jumping from one narrative and there are pauses .Its a little bit disjointed but on the plus side good knowing all about your car. 👍

Don’t black it out, mate! Dubious image when people first did that and it hasn’t improved with time.

Thanks Grealish

Hi Greg how much did you pay ?

m an Englishman who has been driving Land Rovers products for over twenty years and can honestly say there is no place more comfortable to be.... ....whilst waiting for a tow truck!

My first question is WHY would you record parts in portrait?

Lee from car Uk you tube channel’s wife Bought one of these and Lee said it’s always in garage having work done on it 🙄 and it’s nothing but a pain. Lee owns a garage, so I guess it’s just the parts he pays for while his guys work on it in-between paying jobs. If a garage owner says it’s a pain , Are they really worth the hassle 🤔 Dated and ,Chavey, even new. Bought by the Wannabes Just not worth the money or the hassle .

Personally I think that blacking it out or “Nuke spec” will make you look like a failed drug dealer! This aside, it will also reduce the resale value of the car, I would just keep it as standard

Nice car…It would look better with a full size number plate in the back.

Firstly your content is great… but your editing skills need improvement, as your audio skips and jumps innaturally all over the place at the beginning!!! Secondly, I was literally yelling at you dragging your finger through the thick dust on your paintwork two seconds after you’ve said you want to do cosmetic work like refurbishing your wheels and buffing your headlights! Get a good valet, have it cleaned professionally and consider having a ceramic coating/polish. Your mileage is against you, but having your alloys refurb’d, as well as your interior & paintwork in good nick will definitely help your car retain value. For example the wash wiper arms are notorious for bubbling with rust around 90k miles and are expensive to replace but any potential new owner from the LR/RR comminity WILL look at the condition of both interior and exterior… even things like having clean RR rubber mats in your footwells, the fridge/console lid being intact, the roof headliner not being stained etc, as any knowledgeable RR potential owner WILL look at the condition of these because theyre costly to replace. Just some advice, the car will automatically draw in and close the tailgate if you soft close it - theres alot of glass in it and they tend to shatter if owners jeep dropping the tailgate with a bang! As for your lights they’ve been deliberately drilled by a knowledgeable previous owner; its an old trick to encourage the inside of the light not to fill with water or fog up rather than replacing the whole light. I’ll be honest, with 106,000 mileage, the evidence of possible prang damage you’ve pointed out & the state of your alloys, I do think you’ve overpaid by a good £3k. Another tip, your battery level is crucial, let that drop to even 85% and you’ll start experiencing all sorts of electrical gremlins; which can present as something far more sinister if you’re not aware… in my first L322 I went down a costly investigation of a possible broken wire behind the dashboard in pursuit of a flashing infortainment screen for example. My car was also being very choosy about locking and unlocking, which was problematic as it once locked itself with my dog in the boot. It was all down to the bloody battery! Perhaps with the exception of replacing your start button the majority of the work you’re talking about wouldn’t be possibly for those without mechanic experience/know how so I do agree with other comments that it’s not a fair representation of running costs. I’m now on my 2nd L322, and Ive learnt that investing in a gearbox service at purchase is worthwhile as is building a good relationship with a local LR specialist. My personal opinion is that you’ll encounter issues you’re not experienced to fix & could potentially make issues worse trying to fix it because these cars are sensitive & complicated beasts!….but if you’re going to try and look after it yourself you absolutely must get a plug in diagnostic tool!! LR have online service history on their cars (i believe for cars manufactured 2012 onwards) but if you ask your LR specialist nicely they can input your service history into the online database which means you dont lose any records and you build the service history content online. Its like Teaco, every little helps!

From the prices presented, if you think the Range is expensive.. don’t buy a BMW. G’day

Every thing about our pride a joy is personal, but black alloys on any car in my opinion is a no no they never look clean, there is no contrast against The body work colour. As I say it’s personal but black on black !!! Leave it to Range Rover Sport.

I personally urge you to not black anything out. It looks chavvy and boring and inevitably worse finished than factory if you're talking about a homemade paint job or stickers you got off ebay.

What is it with the flicking around editing? Spoils an otherwise decent video.

NO Black wheels, please!!

bruh film in landscape

Silver please dont turn into a drug dealers car no blacked out windows

Unrealistic review ....you are obviously giving a false reflection of running costs. You have the competence too undertake your own repairs. In the rea. World 90% of buyers would not be able to undertake this work, therefore your running costs should reflect this. Not what it cost you!
