Thanks again matt, I enjoy watching chops garage and HP also, both them channels and couple others inspired me to create this channel few weeks back. I will be releasing my visit to the car auction on sunday all being well so check that out when it lands

I chanced upon the channel under similar circumstances, and I totally echo your sentiments :)

@@shepshepherd Thanks james

Thanks RC means a lot, and I shall keep them coming

I like how he isn't overly cocky, like some others, he comes off as a nice genuine guy.

@@Admodeus Very true. He's a very down to earth, unassuming guy. Excellent information, too. Great channel.

@@Admodeus totaly agree just a normal guy not like matt 😉

Yes very true Ed, 👍👍

Agree wonka, I see it alot in my workshop in particular with bmw owners. Many thanks for watching 👍👍

Should I buy a 55 plate range sport with 200k miles for £1500 quid great condition only turns over no start or is it not worth 1500 👍👍👍

Cheers Alastair for the kind words, Have a great Christmas and thanks for watching 👍👍

Many thanks, just found a quiet corner near winsford FC 🤣🤣

Thanks jack, yes I have bought many from auction riddled with the faults you mention so was nice to get something so genuine as this one. Thanks for watching and happy new year to you

Thanks angry cats, cant recommend a range rover for your first car tbh, 😁

later 2009 models interior were much better but the engine is a worry on the later models in 3liter form

yes key thing on RR is tackle the jobs early on, most run on shoe string. thanks for watching Chris

Thanks 👍

Thanks chris very kind words, I will just keep throwing the content out and see where it goes, overwhelmed by the response so far, i was expecting to get to 1000 subs in 12 months not 2 weeks. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Agree, best thing to do on a RR is keep on top of servicing and when things go wrong (which they will) get them sorted straight away, see to many customers with brake or suspension faults which make the situation worse. all the best with your RRS

Thanks jacob very kind words, glad your enjoying the content, & I will keep it coming

Yes something big and potential expensive to fix like this you do not really want one that's been abused and not had some attention and basic servicing carried out. Thanks for watching oscar

Hi jeremy, thanks for commenting I used to run a p38 with the 4.6 v8, what a engine that was, I guess that's one of the engines you would of worked on. Your correct I am from near Manchester around 30 miles away in Cheshire, Originally from Crewe where all the trains stop 😁 thanks for watching

No neither was I 😁 I was hoping for a big bucket of profit, but to be fair its gone to a good home and we made a little bit on it, thanks for watching and comment 👍👍

Yes it was in the s type, however i am sure in the s type it had twin turbo chargers fitted and kicked out more bhp. Thanks for watching Daz 👍👍

@@carukchannel the 2.7d in the s type had 190bhp if I remember right,I took a 07 2.7d s type sport for a test drive last year lovely car nearly bought it till I looked underneath and saw it was leaking coolant ended up buying an 08 x type 2.2d sovereign auto instead alot of car for not alot of money

thanks andy to be fair its not hard having more humanity than mps 🤣

Thanks brian, we are very pleased with it, it could of been far more expensive than it turned out. them 2.7 s type diesels were one hell of a motor 👍

some bargains out there don’t go steaming into the first one as holding back for few months could save you a packet, these big land rovers are falling in price fast, check out my recent video on prices falling bud

Thanks james, I will keep them coming. thanks for watching and the sub 👍👍

Thanks f2a when you have worked in a garage for so many years and inspecting vehicles you pick up the sounds the tell tales and come a custom the common issues. Thanks for watching and happy new year

Thanks ian, yes been amazed by the response over the last 4 weeks since I launched my first block of videos, really was not expecting to get to this position 1 month in. Its really changed my plans and I am looking forward for next year in growing this further. Many thanks for watching again 👍👍

@@carukchannel Nice one. It’s channels like yours mean I hardly watch regular TV anymore. Keep up the good work , I’m sure there is a lot of time and effort goes into making them so seeing your numbers grow make it worthwhile.

Thanks mulberry bush 👍👍

Thanks, you too!

Thanks

Yes the reliability is questionable, the guy who runs the business opposite my workshop has a new 3.0 range rover, he has been told he has to have it serviced every 8k in order to keep the warranty, if not and the engine blows they will not repair, its a new car for goodness sake and they trying to get out of it blowing up, such is the poor engine design 😁

@@carukchannel just shows you how little confidence they have in their product.

I was going to get the back bumper done, but as it sold to a relative, he got a big enough discount so he can sort that if he so wishes. I was also tempted to get a couple of the wheels refurbed had I not sold it to him and tried it on auto trader, at a slightly higher price of 4695, Never mind. Thanks for watching michael again 👍

@@carukchannel skoda fabia's and Octavia's are good cars bud if you ever do any on the channel, reliable motors

thanks chris, have a great christams and happy 2023

@@carukchannel you too Lee

Hope so, If I need some DIY sorting you can guess who I will be calling 🤣🤣

Thanks john

Thanks bike mad, yes he did get cheaper, I shall remind him every time I see him, unless something goes wrong 🤣🤣

Thanks Raja

thanks robin kind of you to say, welcome to the this new channel and i will keep the content flowing rest assured 👍👍

thanks keith have a great new year and all the best

Thanks Nigel 👍👍

Yeah to be fair the tyres were not cheap ones but would of been nice to kept matched pair on something like this, can forgive odd tyres on a cheapy £1k car mind but not a RR thanks for watching 👍

Thank you 👍

Hi Leeds, sorry to hear your bad experience with your RRsport, they can be money pits it has to be said. I have owned 3 now and my wife drives one and they (touch wood) have been ok, still cost a few quid to maintain but nothing like you went through. Thanks for watching bud 👍👍

Thanks Glen, thank you for watching once again 👍👍

Maybe who knows, its gone to a good home which is great and I know it will be looked after. some more profit would of been nice your right 😁

Thanks eddie,

Thanks Jeff,

Thank you kindly!

4.4 nice👍 I have had a couple of them and they are hit and miss. Wife also has a slightly newer 09 facelift model with the 3.0tdv6 which likes to throw cranks, always fixing the dam thing but she loves it, proper Cheshire tractor

@@carukchannel yeah my wife’s is a 2011, personally I hate em lol, im a classic car restorer and vehicle dismantler by trade, I’ve had a lot of range rovers over the years, the L322 especially the early diesels like your one suffer with the loom on the passenger side, the door seal goes and water gets in, outa the 4 wheel drives it’s by a long mile a Toyota Surf for me, I bet you’ve had a few over the years, cracking motors, but to be fair to the Range Rover after the poor reliability and expensive parts, they do look nice and drive great

@@thatroverguy1937 They do drive well, but to be fair if I could stick her in a Merc ML I would as I know it will be less hassle. Where is your breakers ? always handy to know, as we buy a lot of gearboxes and engines for our vehicles and customers in the garage

@@carukchannel Mercedes ML’s are a nightmare lol 😂 one of the lads has a 2013 v8 ML with an auto box, the sheer amount of time he’s been recovered is laughable lol 😂 my Capri isn’t even half as unreliable 😂 based in Shropshire mate, we do all makes and models, primarily export and supplying core units to reconditioning companies nowadays, but we still sell a fair bit locally, where abouts are you based?

2005 Plate, your one of the lucky ones with the cheaper road tax bracket, 👍👍Thanks for watching

Thanks 👍

Thanks for watching phil, it was a decent one to be fair. Most of the time they are headaches

yes i had a belt tensioner fail on one fee years ago, good point, i am sure i changed the water pump while i was there

Hi mark sorry to hear that, I have always been nervous jet washing engines (even diesels) for that very reason. To many electrical components attached to modern cars. Thanks for watching bud 👍👍

Does anybody know what the extra round vim tag on it was ?

Yes your right, just done some discs and pads on it saturday for him, lovely thing and he is taking care of it which is great to see

to be fair the 2.7 engine is not to bad, the later 3.0 is prone to throwing cranks even late late models are still having this issue which of cause range rover are denying any problems 😒 Also the road tax is a killer, the RT on this was over £600 😢

@@carukchannel £600 🤯 that's crazy, I was desperate for a car as my old jetta failed it's mot quite badly, I got a Peugeot 207 diesel estate with 77k miles for I thought a good price with the way cars were a few months ago for £1650 on a 62 plate but the real suprise was when I went to tax it the tax was £20 a year so £600 seems bonkers now 😁

@@crofty565 I have no idea what you mean? Get good?

@wakeup2theNWO completely wrong video reply haha my bad

@@crofty565 No worries mate 👍

Good luck leon, 👍👍

Am sure you will land on something soon peter, good luck with your search and thanks for watching 👍👍

Looked 4750 asking Jon, bitter pill to swallow 😒

I was going to have two of the wheels refurbed and sort that boot step out for paint had I not sold it to my relative, he got a big enough discount so wheels and boot he can sort at his own leisure

i dont think the engine managment light were off when new on range rovers 😁

🤣🤣

about right to buy in the trade 3k with that mileage, thanks for watching colin

To be fair i did not show this in the video your correct, it was and is working though, Also heated seats were lovely 👍👍Thanks for watching

could be, it was well stuck on, some tar and glue spray seems to shift it. thanks for watching Ragnor 👍👍

In my experience on working and selling them its the 3.0 later engine thats more problematic although I have come across a couple of poor 2.7 units in my time. Thanks for watching Sam 👍👍

I love these RRSs but was shocked how many are listed on eBay and autotrader with snapped crankshafts. So I looked at the later 3.0 and found several low mileage versions with seized engines. A guy has posted a video showing exactly where they snap as the crank journals are manufactured far too thin to take the torque load of a 2 ton truck such as the RRS. Additionally there are poorly designed oil pump tensioners which also let go leading to timing belts snapping and terminal catestrophic failure. In the US Land Rover were taken to court allegedly. I believe the v8 4.2 supercharged Jag engine and the V8 4.4 BMW units are a better bet with conventionally designed strong cranks. But £600 road tax is a killer.

@@habsom1406 just my 3litre q7 is 600 to tax 👀👀🙄

Maybe, it did feel bad at speed and shook through the car. Thanks for watching 👍👍

Even cheaper than that now, I was bidding on a 2010 plate car few weeks ago £2800

wow that's not a great advert for landrover products steve 😁 Will keep the content coming and thanks again for watching 👍

Yes shame I sold it cheap to a relative 😂

Keep well away if its not starting imo for £1500 👍

@@carukchannel lady owner said she's been driving it alot had it for 3 years then parked it up for a week and now it won't start she's jump started it but just turned over its only 20 mins away from me

Hmmmm 🤔🤔🤔

@@flippingcarsrepairs is she trying to sell you a bridge also?

@@ln5747 🤣🤣🤣I didn't buy it in the end thank god

Very true, thanks for watching Rob

I agree, most range rovers and some german cars are unreliable, to be fair I don't think you get many true reliable cars its about picking the least troublesome. I don't mind French cars, they get a lot of bad stick but I can think of few that offer really decent motoring and are not that unreliable

@@carukchannel I think people should stop giving french cars a bad rep. French cars nowadays are some of the coolest and most reliable cars you can buy now

In the major city's, London, Birmingham and soon Manchester city centre, yes your correct, for the majority of the UK it does not effect us owing these big engine vehicles. However i suspect in the not to distant future the government will try and find another way to target the UK motorist.

that's not my experience, they sell very well, thanks for watching
