I went out the other week and bought the wife a tracksuit. Told her it was a little runaround.

Evening all - hope you enjoy this latest video. I have plenty more videos landing over the next few days including Auction Videos. 👍👍

Glad Mrs CarUK likes the Evoque, it's nice to see one in a colour other than white or grey. Hopefully it will provide good service!

how to tell when a man really loves/fears his wife: disdain of JLR sidelined, £5k top limit smashed, hatred of black wheels flipped 🙃

When I was a youngster all the women wanted to drive tiny cars and persuading them to have a decent sized car was hard. Nowadays they all seem to want to drive tanks??? Funny how times change.

Your missus is becoming like Mrs Arthur Daly or Mrs Mainwaring - often mentioned, feared but never ever seen.

The colour is worth the extra money, you can ask more for it.

2.2 is the hdi transits diesel i think so pretty reliable. 😊

Wow Lee that’s a lot of car for the money, once sorted that’s a 10K car all day long! Great colour combo ( one of the best I’ve seen). Happy wife, happy life 🙂 Take care my friend

Great tip ref jet washing wheel arches with the patio tool. I have been doing my patio with the jet tool. After your tip the pation tool is a lot better for the arches and patio. I should read instructions

Brilliant video great info about everything . Should be as good as this love this guy and car uk great videos keep it up .

Really nice eye catching motor…such a welcome change from the usual black.

Hi Lee. Wow, i can tell you that I'm over the moon for your wife Lee. She will absolutely love this car, and she deserves it. Nice one, Lee, for bagging this one for her. She will say it's about time that she gets rid of the other one and now gets to roll around in this cool 😎 ride. And nice one to you for bagging this one, I reckon this was a very important car to buy, if only to keep your Missus happy, and if it does nothing else but to make her happy then that will be enough. Fantastic colour 👌and a brilliant engine for her. This has really made my day that you managed to do this for your wife, so well done to you as well, Lee 👏👏. Great video again, bro. And we shall chat soon, my friend. Take it easy and stay safe to you and the family. 👌👍👏😆😅👋🇮🇪

The road tax amongst other issues with the Range Rover is why I haven’t owned one.

My wife bought herself a car..a hardworking lady who doesn’t like to rely on anyone…happy days, we both work hard!Boomb🎉😂

Lee I have had a 2017 xe with according to you a totally unreliable ingenium diesel engine for over 5 years now and I have had absolutely no issues with it at all, it's fast, economical and totally reliable, as long as it's warmed up before you 'use' it and serviced at jaguar it's a lovely thing, so it does annoy me that you tarnish all these engines with the same brush when their are exceptions.

Be nice to see Evoque when it’s all done :-)

Enjoying the channel. Honestly I’d rather have a Discovery Sport. More room in boot and better rear vision. But I do like that blue. And the Evoque is pretty and cosmopolitan - good for a lady. Not keen on black wheels. Only had them once on a silver Audi TTS and even though they looked ok, I’d rather have silver alloys every time. The last of the freelander 2 are nice (with the SD4 engine) but are expensive. Good reputation for reliability though. Finding a nice HSE late freelander 2 is on our list with light interior. I had a 2011 Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8 with 50k miles on in 2019 for a year or so and quite liked it but let it go in the end at 65k miles. It was a lovely vehicle but just a bit of a big boat. Had a couple of claims on the Land Rover warranty which was a good policy. Covered whole car up to £20k claim. Had about £3000 worth of work done on warranty at Stafford Land Rover with no hassle. Sold it for £22,000 with a cracking private plate (X44 RRV). I actually preferred driving my old Lexus RX300 which I had a few years back. Customer service at Lexus was next level- friendlier more helpful people at Lexus Stoke than Stafford Land Rover. Different vibe. Not to say Stafford were unpleasant but customer service not as good as Lexus. Lexus used to pull my leg when I told them I was looking at another Range Rover: “that will be in the garage more than on the road! Hope you’ve got breakdown cover!” 🤣 My favourite mid size “SUV” was a petrol Honda CRV some years ago. That car was a little belter and we got attached to it and never had a problem with it. But it was not economical - think we got about 28 mpg locally and maybe 34 on a run. Those early CRVs were my favourite. Only other I fancied was the Volvo XC60 diesel but never owned one. Saw a lovely blue one with the Polestar optimisation for sale in Derby a few years back with a beautiful light coloured interior and good spec but it sold before we could view it. I used to go now and then to Prees car auctions in the 90s. Used to be on Tuesday and Thursday. Think Thursday used to be for the real rough stuff! I saw some rough old sheds go through there. Can’t remember seeing much nice stuff go through. Looks better nowadays since it’s been rebranded. Funnily enough, I had a friend’s friend looking to sell her Evoque quickly into the trade last week. Don’t know if she’s sold it but it was cheap. But it was a manual. And it was the engine you said to avoid (2018 2 litre diesel TD4). Reg was EE14AMY. Probs still for sale. Similar money to what you paid for that.

That colour is lovely, can’t remember ever seeing one!

Lovely car Lee. Your wife should be over the moon with this. The 2.2 litre engine is a good choice too. I'd much rather spend a little bit more on fuel, and not have to worry so much about expensive engine repairs. Those Ingenium engines make the Ecoboom look reliable.

Kindest regards. Sunshine Coast,BC,Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Fabulous exterior colour and nice two tone interior. Overall I really like the spec and I'm not surprised your wife loves it.

There's some old air freshener strings caught in the back of the rear view mirror

Very very relieved that The Mrs is pleased with the new car, after all you've been through of late Cheers to you both

That was a limited edition anniversary colour,and came with a graphite trim outer finishing and wheels...

These are actually really decent cars, nearly everyone that slags them off have never actually had any experience and just act on hear say, the best version is the 2014- early 15 with the zf 9 speed auto with 2.2. My wife’s is on 112k now , never once had an issue outside of normal servicing The 9 speed is better on fuel , 44mpg on the motorway at 70 (1400rpm which for the ones that don’t Know, dosent always regen at that rpm so I always put it in S and drop to 7th gear which will regen perfectly)

Got the 2.2 in my 07 Freelander 2 great engine, get around 33mpg, never had any major issues apart from wheel bearing (thank god it wasn’t the diff) main thing like you say is good and regular servicing is key

That's a really nice colour!

Just as well you’ve got a garage Lee, I spoke with a mechanic who has one because his wife loves it especially towing the caravan but he did say he spends a lot of time keeping it on the road, does have a Toyota for a runaround though, nice post Lee

You might land up putting less fuel in this new car because when it's broken down on your drive it won't use any fuel at all.

A 2 Litre Perkins is a reet bobby dazzler and very reliable :)

Nice looking thing in that colour 👍

Nice car that Lee, nice with the colour, pan roof and history

Looking forward to the Range Rover Sport vid ,, Lee Keep em coming 👍🏻

You mentioned they suffer with dif issues. Funny iv been trying to diagnose mine I thought it was a wheel bearing but now you mention this it could be sounds like a slight whine , I'd ut an expensive job to do. What is it I ned to get looked at can I do it it myself ect. Thnx

Cheers for the video. I may be interested in the Range Rover Sport, been looking for one for a while. I live in a village in Staffordshire and have to share the potholed lanes with numerous farm vehicles. I'll keep an eye out for your video fella.

I was bang on allmost i said you had bought another Range Rover just presumed a mk2 13 plate onwards Sport with you having previous generation , looks great in blue Lee .

Same mechanical setup up as the Freelander 2 on that Evoque.

Love the colour ! Love the car ! Hope the sport does well ❤

Nice motor Lee. I think you've done very well their 👍.

That's just the deposit on a new one (Or the amount of depreciation within the first 3 months)

Also, get Land Rover to do the recall on the steering rack motor bolts

Nice looking Evoque

You are spot on with regard to the 2.2D v the Indignnationium 2.0d. I would be worried if the 2.0 had done more than 20k, proper grenade fodder

Nice motor lovely colour

Very nice colour,enjoy the peace for a while🤣🤣

Got to keep the Lady of the House happy 👍 Make her pay for any repairs though 🤔 Cash 💴 or In kind 😉

Is the key fob battery flat due to the keyless entry pulsing problem? Fixable?

Just been to Morrisons less than 2 miles away on way back a 19 plate Evoque with AA van & bonnet up with plastic trim off top of head , that in blue looks mint im with you on black wheels, our 14 plate DS3 has black alloys part m/c , someone on the street also has a DS3 but with normal alloys and im biased but our lasses car looks far better. Round corner from me someone has a 2 door Evoque also a convertible with in 200 yards of me .

Love the blue 😍

Hi Lee Happy wife Happy life. So true

Had a Jaguar XF diesel…2012…..had a bluefin remap on it….was like night and day….even with 20s on it….still pulled by most things….

Great Colour Lee 😊

Lee I reckon the evoque in that spec is around half price what it would have been 12 months ago, is it a dynamic spec? As you know you want a auto in one of them, looks a good buy

I bought my wife a new one of these, within 6 weeks it needed a new steering rack, had to fight tooth and nail to get it done on warranty.

You haven't overpaid, happy wife happy you 👍

Happy wife, happy life😂

Glad your missus like this lee👍

I seen a 2018 Discovery Sport Hse Td4 2.0 today smoking alot, was white smoke, wonder what the cause was?

I'd far rather be paying out for extra fuel and reliability than saving on fuel but paying on repair and lacklustre reliabilty, it's a no brainer for me so it would be the 2.2 all the way.....and it's a lovely colour into the bargain.

Hi Lee it's john from Gibraltar, I believe that these 2.2 diesel engines were Ford engines.A mate of mine owns a 2009 model with this engine.It's automatic and has done almost 180000km.He is very happy with it as he only had minor mechanical issues in the past such as the air mass sensor which he had to replace and a turbo hose.

Any idea how much it a replacement key? I bought my wife 1 but only 1 key unfortunately .

My old 2015 evoque with the 2.2 was as good as gold for the just over 5 years I owned it. Really good value for money compared to the bigger range rovers and good all rounder. The only thing that fell apart was the keys 😂

The wife has gone...............................for the Evoque. Phew, i thought you were going to say she has gone out the door permanently 😂😅😊

Lovely colour

Got to do what you got to do to keep the wife happy 😂😂😂 or she be pinching your maserati 🤔

You cannot preach about reliability of any cars now that you bought an Evoque. Good luck.

Nice to know I’m not the only one who overpays for the Right car 😊

@caruk whats the mileage on that range rover sport im after one

What do you use to get an Evoque cream leather seat up nice and bright and clean? I have a gold/black 2.2 prestige 14 plate

Mind And Pull Those Air Freshner Elastics Jammed Up Behind The Mirror

It’s funny because my wife wanted me to buy her a Range Rover. We’re now divorced. Thank god.

oh man range rovers a huge money pit no matter the model

full size range rover sport lol never heard that before lol

You did well though £7 grand for a 2013 Range Rover is very good as most on Autotrader are near £10 grand

How much for 2017 Autobiography Evoque 21,900 miles ? Cheers

Someone must have put something in the water in Crewe for you to be buying a RRover. Best of luck selling your old RRover 3 litre when I tried selling my 2010 93000 RRover Sport a couple of months ago most dealers wouldn't even look at it as a PX. I think you might land up taking your old RRover to WBAC and take a couple of grand for it.

700 a year on tax is wild. 180 is enough

Proper common sense.

Fussy buggers is so right . I got sent for a fiesta zetec a few years back and came home with an st because it was only a fiver a month more with a special offer. I thought I was a financial genius but she drove it 3 miles and ended up taking my car cos the ride hurt her puppies. 🤪

Is it the PSA 2.2 or the Puma 2.2 from the Transit/ Mk3 Mondeo?

Happy Wife = Happy Husband!

What are all the wires sticking out of the back of the rear view mirror for?

Question. If the car was private bought, does that mean you pay the business for the work being done? Trim pieces, wheels etc?

its a shame they ruined it with the Ingenium rubbish. We have them at work, diesel fumes in the cabin is a regular issue , a nice touch by Land Rover, The 2.2 is night and day better. Nice colour, you’ve got lots of credit coming for this if its a gooden Lee!…

I'm surprised that the old range rover is ulez compliant but your newer one is not 😮

How much you after as a private sale on the RRS 👀👀

Happy Mrs. That's all that matters 😅

What is the insurance like on the Evoque?

i asked you about buying a car last month but i am able to purchase a car now, dont you have a website where i can see all your stock, please

10k miles in 3 years and lots of town driving; won't the DPF clog up all the while?

The gateman believes you.... wow, he must be softening up in his not so old age.

Sounds like Yur Mrs has been watching a bit too much Real Housewives fella, Chelsea tractors SHOUT and scream . . . . .. . Image!

👌👌

Local running? With DPF not sure.

Not a fan of the Evoque, but it does look fantastic in that colour scheme.

beautiful car.....shame everyone wants to slate them....

I always liked Evoques, until i saw one on a ramp one day had a look underneath its was all crusty

Don't worry mate, I overpaid for a BMQ X1 to keep my wife happy. 😀

OMG be better with a proper land rover defender old type money in the bank 😊
