I wonder how many Land Rover vehicles have been recovered shortly after being stolen because they broke down and the thieves just abandoned them?

I've had a very positive experience with my local Land Rover dealership. There was a Lexus showroom next door.

I have a friend who used to be a service advisor at a JLR dealer who said even new vehicles that came in for there first service were accompanied with an A4 sheet full of problems to be sorted... He left there and started the same job description for a Lexus dealer and when I asked him how the job compared to his last he said it's so different it's not even funny ! Customers would come in for a 100k service and when quizzed if there were any problems that needed attention they said NO everything is working perfectly thanks ! Say no more !

What makes you think they want people out of cars and off the roads. This is all deliberate imo.

My 1959 series 2 starts every time i need it and the insurance is £100 a year. MOT exempt, tax exempt, emissions zones exempt 👍 Buy classic cars.

Josh is a massive tool for even considering another Range Rover.

I never got the point of taking something meant for hard work and rough terrain, then turning the inside into something you wouldn't dare wear a pair of muddy boots in. I used my mate's 110 defender for deerstalking and shoot days for years. It had a fully metalled load bay, you could chuck 10 fallows in the back and then hose it out with the power hose used to fill the farm sprayer. You could get 3 in the front, 8 beaters in the back plus dogs and a few on top or sitting on the bullbar. It needed uj's frequently but never got stuck. That's what a Landrover's for, the new ones all look like a tart's boudoir. The old girl's still going, though semi retired now. The beaters used to call it the Deathstar on account of the amount of carcasses it used to carry. Final comment on JLR - looks great, don't work.

At 3:30 a little unfair, Geoff, 30 days is longer than most people will ever need, there's simply no need to pay for a whole year.

I had an interesting Landrover experience recently. Heading up the highway out of the city here, the traffic ground to a halt (on the uptrack) where looking across the highway I saw a lady standing next to her new Landrover with the bonnet up and an AA van in behind. While I waited a tow truck arrived an pulled in front to load the dead Landriver. Slowly our traffic lanes started moving and eventually up the hill around the bend we came across the source of our holdup, another new Landrover was being pushed by a bunch of people to clear the lane. Ive never seen dual failures of the same car simultaneously before. Maybe they all stopped everywhere.. lol

If the “proper” Top Gear were still on the box, this is the sort of content they would run - if their legal team let them. It looks like a dodged a bullet a few years ago.

Josh has a Land Rover in the shop for three months, because parts aren't available. Josh wants to buy a new Land Rover. Well, that's on Josh if he does.. SMH

Yeah you get a free trespass notice on your fourth visit because they've got no solution for your steaming £100k pile of junk and you hanging around the showroom regaling punters with your ownership experience is damaging sales 🤣

It seems like these known faults are also known faults by JLR. Would they be covering something up ? Class action should be on the owners mind. Just like the Post office.

My 30 year old discovery is brilliant, no electronics, no dpf, no fly by wire, no stupid stretchy timing chain and .........it's greener than any EV!

I used to be a staunch follower of Land Rover then I had a discovery 3 after as I’d previously had a discovery 1 and 2 series vehicles loved the older versions but this discovery 3 killed my entusiasm and my wallet it was the most techy land rover I ever had but I am now totally turned off them because of their inability to make anything reliable, I knew it would go this way eventually it’s why I’m now happy in my Toyota Land Cruiser better in every way no comparison JLR should get rid of the tech get shot of McGovern and bring in people who can make reliable cars that work this is the only way to save the brand

In Australia they say 'if you want to go somewhere go in a LandRover, if you want to get back go in a Toyota'....

I was looking for a Land Rover but my searches landed me at Lexus so far they have been above my expectations very good quality and treatment, services, reliability second to none.

When I owned a Morris Marina I bought a second one to use for parts. Maybe Land Rover owners should do the same.

Remember the old joke “what do you call a Skoda with twin exhausts? - a wheelbarrow”. At least mine is reliable and gets me from A to B safely and it’s still outside in the morning.

Wow great content, The consumer report says that EV's have almost 80% more problems and are less reliable than an equivalent combustion engines which is looking like the case as shown on your channel. Keep up the great work.

If having a Range Rover is such a pain in the arse what with the lack of reliability and no customer service Then having it nicked is probably a relief.

They get stolen so thieves can brake them for parts and provide to customers who can't get parts from JLR directly. Simple. JLR actually creating a black market for their own illegal parts. Hilarious 😂

The biggest problem car makers have caused is ease of use. I heard an advert the other day basically saving you looking for keys since you can open and start your car with a phone, great idea, now everyone with the right stuff can drive off with it. Maybe make them secure again without apps!

I hear dylan mulvaney is looking for a new product to promote.....maybe Jaguar Land Rover is right up his/her street......

Hi Geoff With the decreased reliability like being able to ensure and pull back up, would it not be a good investment to purchase cheap, late-model land, Rovers, and sell them on as boat anchors for people to tie their boat to ?

I'm trying to start this conspiracy theory, have you ever stopped to think that it's JLR staff stealing these cars for spare parts? 😂😂

A good security check to have done is to see if there is another key registered to your car! Secondhand dealers might have had one made in case they needed to repossess!

The significance of the attractive young woman with the Range Rover is high maintenance and out of action for one week every month.

7:53 the face of the company. No one knows what it is and or doesn’t care these days

The rot started in the 90's when they ditched their history, and discovered the world of electronics.

If they're having to choose between supplying parts to the assembly lines or the service departments then I suspect they're having supplier issues and may be, as a company, circling the drain. I'd give them another six months.

RR has been in the garage for three months but still in "two minds" about getting another one?? 😂😂

I was stuck behind a new Jaguar SUV in the middle of the road no long ago. They gave me the middle finger because I gave them the horn to move. Turned out the car turned itself off and they could not start it again 😂.

Imagine being a customer service / social media person for JLR. Every day you’ll drive into work, not in a JLR product obvs, you need to get into work, and you know that your day will consist of utter misery created by a product that’s so far below par that it’s rapidly becoming a music hall joke. Is it time to resurrect the old Lada / Skoda jokes? Anyone got a filler cap for a Land Rover? Yeah, that sounds like a fair swap….. Anyway, imagine being that poor JLR member of staff, you’ve got no recourse, no effective comeback, your customers know that the product is piss poor and you can’t source the parts and I imagine that head office have left a phone in a small room all on its own, it rings and rings, no one hears it, no one answers it, emails bounce back, customer service managers can’t get through, can’t change anything for the better, I hope that they are all earning a decent wage in order to make up for the fact that their customers are getting increasingly pissed off.

Having a little fun at LRs expense is one thing but this is serious stuff and peoples livelihoods and paying customers rides depend on a resolution and quick!

A Land Rover is aspirational. Since when??? Genuinely I never knew, I just thought they were hideously tall box cars.

-"Leave it" said May... No point collecting the car...

I wouldn't even consider naming a dog Rover😂

Im falling too bits im wating for my results from DVLA ,this week its mad, Ive been driving 44 years . they have the power .

i bought a landrover ex forces it came with shovels I can fit both my granparents in the back .

Most car advers show cars being driven through scenic roads. The only thing working in that Advert is the model in the gold gown.

Geoff I made it to the end of the video. I would also like to relate a story about a friend who owns a B.M.W x5 2015 model. Apparently there was a issue with the sunroof. It was deemed that a new one was needed. After some time, a replacement was not forthcoming due to supply issues. My friend contacted head of B.M.W customer service and a new one was despatched to the dealer within the day and fitted at half price. That is why my friend. People buy B.M.W.

4:33 she hasn’t even got a crowbar

80k for a Defender!!!! FML😂😂

In America Range Rovers and Jaguar are status vehicles that people lease for a year or two and then turn in for a new one. Everyone else sees them for what they are, a fancy car that will eventually have expensive engine repairs. Seems like it might be the same in the UK.

Thanks Geoff

Buy a Land-RangeRover Davos edition! Because soon you'll have nothing!

Hi Geoff: just thought you may be interested: I was driving down the A19 near York this afternoon on Shipton Road southbound. Near a roundabout at the end of Shipton road there was a totally burned out car in the layby on the northbound side. Police had closed the road, possibly for forensic investigation. The car was the sole vehicle in this incident. The car was basically a burned out shell when I passed it, the driver had apparently slightly burned hand/ hands. In the news items online in all the York news it did not state the type of vehicle anywhere. I believe it may possibly have been a Tesla, or very similar shaped EV. There did not appear to be a radiator, ICE engine etc, the bonnet section was just collapsed burnt ashes on the ground. I highly suspect this may have been an EV; however, it is very suspicious how the news and media have not mentioned the type of vehicle. An ICE vehicle usually does not burn out the complete vehicle - a classic sign of an EV vehicle fire.

Geoff I made it to the end of the video! Interestingly JLR/Tata stocks are higher than ever somehow, 30% higher in the last months, wonder if they're refusing to do repairs and buy parts to inflate their price before going bust

The number on the back of JLR is not the power derivative but the maximum number of hours of ownership before it breaks down

Spare parts are easy. Rob them from unsold cars. I made it to the end of this video.😂

Notice on the insurance. We want to set up an insurance company so we cream extra money from your premiums. At no point do we mention fixing the secondary problem of why they are so easy to steal. The primary problem of course are the toe rag thieves.

Some which have trackers fitted are recovered, but are usually beyond repair as the thieves have wrecked them looking for the transmitter.

In South Africa we have a decades old joke whenever someone says they are going on vacation in a land rover you ask what are they coming back in

Just look at the recent news in the US concerning JLR , they are cutting most JLR dealerships because of the massive drop-off of sales so current dealers are choosing to switch over to brands that make money.

Every cloud has a silver lining:- At least those cars that are broken down won't be stolen.....# WinWin

My 1984 series 3 is still going strong😂

its not just insurance on new cars , my mate paid under 400 quid last and now its 2000 quid for the renewal ,its on a disco2 that twenty years old ,how do they come up with that

Always thought that the rise in theft of Range Rovers was JLR trying to avoid warranty costs, but it seems the only way to get spare parts!

Why dont JLR remove the backlisted parts off some of the many they have sitting in their showrooms with no customers wanting to purchase them

Geoff, I made it to the end of the video. My Jag F-Pace has developed a “feature”, whereby I can turn on the interior light using the touch switch above the rear view mirror, but then the same touch switch won’t turn it off - you have to switch the car off and lock it before it goes out. The local JLR dealer is looking to swap out the light module, but weren’t going to as the car has a dash cam fitted - BY JLR who sold me the car 🤐🤐🤐

Can EV's even break down, you know not having an engine an all that?

I've just applied for a job at a JLR dealer... In the parts department. Hopefully I don't get an interview.

They should call Range Rover, Lack of Range Rover.

About 15 years ago, an Audi salesman told me that LR owners are the best prospects because 1) they have money and 2) they know their vehicles are junk with low resale values and therefore will take an Audi jacket in trade.

I am a surviving former owner of a then new Disco 3. In the back of the owner's manual there is a local bus timetable. Apparently the Range Rovers come with Taxi Charge dockets to get you home.

Way back- in about 1978- my brother bought a brand new MG Midget. Inca yellow with black rubber bumpers, delivered to the dealer with 26 miles on the clock. He got rid of it after about 10 months, because he only actually got to drive it for a total of 4 weeks. The rest of the time it was in the dealership, being repaired or, more commonly, waiting for a spare part that couldn't be sourced because Longbridge was on strike again. You'd think things would have improved in 45 years..................

I don't understand why people are so negative, they complain about the car leaking when it rains, but are they grateful for them not leaking when it's good weather? Mind you Land Rover is the perfect car for Saudi Arabia and such hot countries, and for 2 reasons, besides the 4x4: 1. It never rains and therefore you are safe with the leaks 2. Stealers would keep your car up to scratch at all times because they need their hands to work on it.

Best tick the heated boot lid option. At least you can keep your hands warm when you are pushing it.

My neighbour waited 11 months for his Range Rover, after constant issues with the immobiliser and the emergency brakes applying themselves, which JLR could not fix, he returned the car and now drives a Nissan that cost less than half of what he paid for the disappointing Range Rover.

The JLR response of the recall 'It is not a recall, it is an enhancement'...

What do you expect people? RR/LR products have been terrible for 20 years, and they continue to get worse. It's the plonkers that keep buying them that make me chuckle!

Our Defender 90 300TDI County SW will be 30 this year... old enough to be out by herself! All of our children and grandchildren have loved this truck... lots of engineering from wonderful English companies... people ask to buy her in car parks etc, thanks but no thanks...! Great channel Geoff!

When I travelled by car in Eastern Europe, I just had 3rd party insurance. No-one wanted to steal an RHD car, even if it was a 3 litre mercedes diesel estate.

JLR Sold over 100k cars last year alone so this is still only a small number of bad reviews and most of them don't even own a landrover mine and thousands of owners are problem free and insured.

Probably not the greatest chat up line ever. You pick up a beautiful female hitchhiker in your Land Rover. In the middle of nowhere the engine stops. Then you give her the punchline "I'm sorry, luv. The car's broken down. You'll have to get out and walk".

She's got long arms.

I think the woman would have less maintenance costs and less waiting times than a JLR car! How is this company still in business? Mystifying!!!

Owning a Land Rover / Range Rover WILL attract women. Probably firewomen! :)

Well, ever since my service writer at Audi told me that her boyfriend, who is a JLR mechanic, forbade her to buy a Land Rover, I don't even look at them anymore. Way to ruin your reputation when customers at other brand dealerships are educated about the quality at JLR.

If you want a Landy, Buy a older Defender, Wellies and a Scarf.

It’s the parts manufacturers that are the problem not JLR assembly so much, JLR basically just screw shit together, I was employed by an agency specifically to inspect one item at a firm in Studly Warwickshire,( on the left going towards Brum, begins with an R)because they were just making scrap, I had to inspect & repair seat pans, holes wouldn’t line up, bad for quick assembly, and the holes for the seat belts was so sharp and serrated it would cut through the belt, when I asked if it would be cheaper to make new tooling I was told JLR wouldn’t give them time or a price that would warrant a break in production, I had a bollocking one day because I hadn’t repaired enough that day and the lorry was waiting , if he didn’t arrive on time they would refuse them, so it was my fault that they were making scrap components that couldn’t be delivered on time, I had to adjust and repair every single component that day, 16 pallets, 16 on a pallet, the was one Polish guy who was drilling holes with the tip broken off the drill and had hadn’t noticed. After 3 months I quit, basically I was an inspector that they didn’t want to inspect because it was causing problems. This is a very condensed post of what happened

Sir Jim Ratcliffe of Ineos Motors is now laughing all the way to the bank!

My 14 year old B class Mercedes has been of the road for ond day every year for servicing and on one accasion for 2 day for a repair. We have done 76,000 miles so far without any problem. I don't think I will trade it in for a Rover 🎉

My neighbours boss has 2 new defenders and Range rover vogue also new , all 3 bought from JLR direct and he tried getting insurance through Land rover, but apparently if you live on Home counties there not touching them! No one wants to insure them in the southeast due to theft. They won't even insure them! Ended up paying an astronomical amount.

They should call it the Low Range Rover.

They will probably get in trouble for not using a black model.

88% of all Land Rovers sold are still on the road. The other 12% made it home.

Whenever we hear about massive problems currently, there is always the Tata group behind it. Bad banking service in Germany -> IT run by Tata. Bad cars of once famous brands with no spare parts available-> Tata Motors. Steel plant closing down -> Tata Steel.

Geoff, I made it to the end of the video 😂 (as always), thank you 😁👍

What the marketing dept needs an overhaul the whole company needs an overhaul

Clarkson's funny quote when commenting on his range rover in the Bolivia special. "Range rover designed by Charles Spencer King, who was unquestionably a genius. Unfortunately it was then built in the Midlands. Everything was that'll do, that'll do. An unbelievable piece of design ruined by monkeys"

Looks to me that these aspiring foreign facebook posters are very excited about waiting for their stolen ex UK Rover to be delivered (on the back of a lorry, sadly)

DPD vans carry heavy packages and they’re always in a hurry, so you can imagine the stopping distance 🙆‍♂️

This was hilarious and enjoyable

I am just here to read the comments to see how many owners claiming that their JLR product makes a Lexus look like a high-mileage poorly poorly-maintained Trabant. How theirs has gone 250k miles with nothing more than an occasional oil change and windshield washer fluid top-up.

The main big problem, JLR no longer made in the UK. Another reason why we shouldn't be shipping out our manufacturing base across the world. Edit: Range, strange these cars are Range Rovers aren't they?

Think I will keep my 2003 Volvo D5 V70 auto. Owned it for 10 years, got my V70 second hand with 100k on the clock, now 260,000, only basic maintenance, new Tyres, couple of ball joints, and serving done buy a local Volvo specialist. Still on original engine, Turbo, gearbox.

What I don’t understand is this.. people buy these expensive Range Rovers knowing that they are the most unreliable and expensive cars to run yet cry when their vehicles break down. Remember, Range Rover is owned by Tata Motors who are not know for quality, safety or customer service, just profit.
