There is no sugarcoating here-just real cartalk. Love it.

"Service it you idiot!" - just great advice, and yet another excellent review, sensible and unshowy. Top drawer stuff!

Great video, we used to own a near identical one which made this even more enjoyable to watch as totally agree with every comment about this particular year of RRS, how enjoyable they are to own and just the way they make you feel. You’ve got me searching the classifieds again! Keep up the great work 👍🏻

Always love the honest , “best mate who owns one” reviews..

This is EASILY the most superior review I've heard on RR, and among the best on any topic. Thanks very much.

I've just bought my first Range Rover. It was a long time coming. In the end your comment: "What are you going to do? Never buy the car you want because it might break-down?" played a deciding role. I followed all your general advice about buying a used car. Bought from a respectable house. Meticulously documented service history and evidence that whenever something needed doing, he got it done. Some of the bills were scary but at least he paid them. And the radio was tuned to Radio 4! LOL. Finally, I didn't buy the cheapest one out there. I tried to buy a good one. It's a 2008 2.7 HSE which I know isn't anybody's first pick (93,000 miles) but all the above swung it over the couple of other offerings locally. So this will be my RR introduction. I might get it out of my system and move on, and it might be the first of many. Thanks for all the advice and guidance.

I remember watching your Disco Sport review when I was looking for a new car. I went ahead and bought one. I love it - first family friendly car I've owned that actually feels special.

Your videos are great man. You're always on point, realistic and easy to listen to. Always like these videos man, cheers from Canada.

I’ve done 130k miles in my RRS TDV6 MY2010 and had to do the turbos at 90k miles and the air suspension sensor at 120k miles. Otherwise she’s been a very reliable car and regularly tows a trailer off road. Low range gearbox is a must for me.

Just... beautiful ✨ The presentation, the car, the realism... quite everything! Keep it up, Matt! Very soon you'll have 100k 🙏

This is what KZfaq is all about, every now and then you come across such a refreshing, informative, entertaining car video, cheers! Difficult to find some straightforward buying advice from someone who actually knows about these cars

Congratulations for the work you're doing on this channel! Keep up the good vibe!

Congratulations on 2 years of excellent content Matt. Keep up the great work!

I’ve always wanted a Range Rover but been scared off by the potential costs and people making faces when I say I’m interested in one. I agree with you 100% servicing and preventative maintenance are the key as they are with most cars. I just need to find one at the right price and one that’s been looked after.

Forgot to congratulate you on passing the 2 year mark. Not supprised at all at the number of subscribers, really excellent car reviews, so informative and enjoyable to watch. Always pleased to see a new review 😃

I have been watching from the start and will definitely be watching your channel for the foreseeable future, great channel, keep doing what your doing Matt 👏

Was looking to maybe get one . As always good sound advice . And made more wanting one . Keep up good vids .

Great review. I've rented a few Range Rovers in the past year on trips. Loved both! First one was a 2016 Sport HSE (Diesel). Last one a 2020 Velar R-Dynamic. Both handled and drove amazing. Interior quality, technology & comfort was awesome. The Velar felt more like a sportscar when I got it up in the turns off Pacific Coast Hwy in the canyon mountains! The Sport was a little bigger & felt even more "solid". Not sure which one I'm going to buy, but one will be in my driveway soon!

Congrats on the 2 years. Always look forward to the reviews

Congratulations on the 2 year stint. Been with you from almost the beginning and fully enjoyed the ride.

Another great video Matt, always look forward to them, I’m a fellow Range Rover fan and totally agree with you, best cars to own, still driving my 86 classic out here in Oz and love it. Keep up the great work, can’t wait for the next one 👍

More than happy with my 2011 range rover autobiography sport, had it jyst over a year and its the best move I made. I had it fully serviced, brake discs an pads, suspension, timing belt done as a precaution and this paid dividends. Car runs a dream and is a pleasure to drive. I don't regret one bit buying this.

Thank you mate for keeping at it, this anniversary video is one of my favourites. I have had my Sport 4.4 for five years and your description of ownership is exact.

Excellent review! Your right ! Every time I take it out for a drive , I’m smiling 😀

I was just literally wondering this exact question yesterday. Thanks!

Not a fan of the 4x4, but definitely agree you feel special when driving a Range Rover over the competition even the Porsche Cayenne

I’ve watched so many car reviews over the years , but this is brutally honest and massively informative !! Absolutely fantastic , many thanks

Brilliant video. Always love your style and the information presented in a down to earth and honest manner. When I finally do get my used range rover I will be in touch for sure!

Been here from day 1 and never seen a bad episode. Well done on your 2 years Matt Mick

Great video. Sold my supercharged Range Rover two months ago and yes I had all the usual air compressor issues and my LR3 had the same. The power from the V8 was awesome and yes that feeling of pride when driving was definitely there.

Congratulations on 2 years, it has gone quickly. Keep going it has been great to watch you develop in that time and the greatest thing about you is authenticity! You are knowledgeable but so are lots of other people but you are far more watchable than the majority of big budget reviewers because you are real! And you are right about buying Range Rover but I won't be doing it anytime soon because I can't afford it! So I'll stick with my Beamer thank you very much!

Well done mate. Your video on the Jag xf made my mind up about getting one. Now my pride and joy. Keep it up, thanks👍🏻

I had one of these for nearly 10 years from new and about 35,000 miles if I recall. I estimate that I spent maybe £3000 on repairs (excluding routine maintenance), including a new turbo actuator and a new steering pump. Annual servicing was generally about £700. For Bluetooth streaming, I bought a Bovee device (£100 ish) that plugs into the factory iPod cable in centre armrest. Osram do daytime running lamps that replace the OEM fog lamps, LEDFOG101, and I highly recommend this upgrade.

Never heard a truer word said about a RR... congrats on 2 years, I remember the first video.... 100k here you come

Cheers for another great video and congrats on the two year anniversary

Congratulations on 2yrs, I’ve really enjoyed all of your content. Good anniversary choice of car and it’s totally true it’s a car that make you feel good driving it. And you’ll never want to be without a fridge again!!!

One of the best WHEELER DEALERS episodes it's Range Rover...Ed changed the kompresor And did facelift the front and full respray...great episode

I own a 2012 HSE and it's a beauty. Been reliable so far, but I look after it. Every time I drive it or drive other people anywhere I feel safer than I've been in any other car, and that's just something that's worth the whole experience.

Excellent review, you put everything re Range Rover Sport and similar cars in proper perspective. I’ve never owned one, but a friend took me on a bumpy uphill off-road trip many years ago. It was a very scary, but also a very impressive ‘show’.

Just started looking at used Range Rover videos since I’m looking to buy one before the end of the year. I’ve watched a view videos now & yours are truly enjoyable- thank you!

My brother recently bought a 2007 2.7TDV6 HSE, which I've been tooling about in for the week. My normal car is a 2018 Merc GLE 350. I have thoroughly enjoyed my week of 'old skool' - the driving position in the RRS is far more comfortable, it lollops down the road with its lazy 6 speed slushmatic, and generally seems more suited to de-stressing the inevitable congestion on the roads wherever you go. Yes, there are a few downsides with a 100k car - the suspension bangs and thumps, so some new bushes would be nice, and a few bits of trim are a bit tired, but it's all fixable, and not doom and gloom in any way. Not sure I 'get' the opening boot glass, and would rather have a split tailgate like a full fat range rover, the sat nav is laughably yesterday's technology, but no different to another 14 year old car. Heated seats warm up to roasting nice and quickly, and the fuel economy with a mix of cold running, a bit of motorway, and lots of traffic work is better than the Merc. I've been wondering what to do when the Merc's PCP finishes next year .... current plan is to hand it back to merc, and go old skool. I daren't do the maths on what the Merc really costs me per month, but I bet it's far more with a used Range Rover and a few bob put aside for the inevitable rainy day. Keep the vids coming, Matt - always great to watch, no matter what's being reviewed.

You're one of the few KZfaqrs who aren't trashing Range Rovers! I have a 2001 P38 Range Rover and the worst thing was a head gasket blew. I did the work myself because there was enough help on the Internet to get through it. If you check all of the costs that I have had and divide it by 19 years, it's actually been pretty affordable. As long as you're handy mechanically and go to the dealer only when absolutely necessary, you probably won't be disappointed. If you could create a list of used Rover model years / engines that you've found to be pretty reliable, that would be very helpful. Thank you for making this video!

Hi Matt, Many congratulations on your two year anniversary. I have watched everyone of your video’s and have honestly enjoyed them all 👍 Thanks. Tom.

Many thanks for another excellent video.. took your advice and bought a TDV8 … in white .. loving it 👍🏻

I came a bit too late to the comment section but, just found your channel, love it, so i thought i'd snuck in my 2 cents as well: I've had my '07 sport hse with 3.6 tdv8 for about 10 years now, and this year it just passed 320k miles. Nothing had to be done to the engine, apart from the exhaust manifold and oil service. Mostly stupid electronic issues but nothing serious, apart from the famous air suspension fault. The gearbox just started being a bit wiggly, but it's been over 300k miles so, not a surprise. It went through whole Europe, Marocco, and some other places that i can't even recall. Never let me down. It's been in the family for those 10 years and i'm not even thinking about getting rid of it(Who would buy a 300k mile range rover anyway?). Honestly, if serviced well it's a great car.

2 years - seems like yesterday! Another great review. So tempted but family members have had nothing but trouble. My sisters last visit to a dealership cost her thousands.

Always love your reviews, genuine, honest, pleasant guy 👍🏻

Another great review Matt, I have watched them from the start, they are always very informative and entertaining. As I am sure you know there is one Landrover model that you are yet to do a video on. Fingers crossed you will get one done soon 🤞🏻

Would love to see one of these for those crazy V10 Touaregs!

All the service things are exactly what I did when I bought my XF 18 months ago, that was after watching your review on them BTW. I know it's gonna cost me, but I'll do whatever I can to prevent.

Excellent review to ths point and frank no pompus unrealistic bias points. Thank you and keep up the great work. Welldone.

Literally just got this exact car from the video Matt. Thanks for the review!

My favourite Range Rover. I love the styling on it. The interior seems like a very nice place to be. This and the P38 are my guilty pleasure cars.

Well done Matt 👍🏼👏🏻 Great watch as always 👌🏼 Here’s the the next 2 years 🍻

happy anniversary Matt is it really two years that's flown been subbed before you had 1000 subs and mines tea no sugar and a new turbo ;)

Excellent and realistic review! Everything you said is spot on! First thing I do is service everything on the car when I get it, as you said. My 04 Disco and 04 Jag XJ8 were flawless and only minor issues like any car will give you. Service it with quality parts and materials, on time and don't thrash it and you'll have a great, reliable vehicle.

I'd love to see you do an honest review on a P38. Every forum tells me not to buy one, but thats the charm with rangies i guess.

We’ve had 5 in the passed 7 years or so, and as long as you look after it and regularly service them and make sure everything’s going alright on them, there’s no issues, it’s usually people that don’t necessarily take care of it

'Another great concise, frank and interesting review. Congrats on the channel's anniversary. It remains one of the channels I return to regularly, time and time again, even when the vids relate to cars I have no intention of buying. 'Brilliant work!. Well done and thanks! :)

Has it really been 2 years? I think I've been here since the beginning not always commenting, just enjoying a like minded petrol head rabbit on about cars. Perfect! Thanks for the entertainment and long may it continue. Cheers

Range Rover videos make me so happy as I enjoy the videos more. I've just purchased a 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.6 TDV8 HSE and it is by far the best car I've ever purchased.

Lovely looking car this. I love the white and black trim exterior combination, though prefer the lighter interior colours myself. At £12-13k this looks like another bargain. A serious amount of car for the money! Congrats on the two year anniversary 👍. Here's to many more.

I honestly like your synopsis of how you breakdown the sheer truth of analysing SUVs. I’m glad 🙂 I subscribed to your channel. Very educative and informative!!!

Well done on 2 years mate, great job and here’s to the next 2!

Lolllllllllllll 'bring us another brew, turbo's gone on't range rover again' 😂

I know the pain and pleasure of owning a land rover Discovery TD 5. 7 grand to buy nearly 7 grand to care for, that's servicing, maintenance and fixing her every other month. Doris was with us five years. would we go for the RR Sport...oh God yes! They are like huge puppies...they crap in places you wouldn't believe. chew your favourite shoes, and yet despite those issues you'd love it no matter...that my friends is Range Rover/Land Rover ownership 😊

Thank you for having us. All the best t you from Gas Essex.

I love watching your videos, you:re such a down to earth guy, I started doing mechanics when I was around 8 years old, ok I was passing my dad spanners but it was a passion that never stopped growing and im almost 58 now, I have owned many big luxury cars, and my 2 favourite brands are Jags and Land Rover/Range Rover's. I totally agree with everything you have said and if anyone out there is worried about buying a luxurious car like this in case something goes wrong then they should walk away because even the best mechanics get caught out sometimes. Keep up the good work.

Had a 2012 for 2 years...awesome motorway drive ....BUT you are constantly waiting for the orange lights to come on...and when they do...it costs.... Dont ask’ Can I afford to buy one’..Ask ‘Can I afford to repair one when it breaks’ 80k miles is the absolute cut off to get rid of one !

The interior, driving position, and external looks are sublime. I've been looking at Lexus RX350 of the same era, which are far more reliable, but their interiors are dated. So it's driving pleasure vs reliability.

Congrats on 2 years Matt. Great Channel and interesting vids always

Well done Matt. Keep the reviews coming. Good watch and informative as always 👍

Hi Matt wow has it really been two years I can remember watching your first video on the Range Rover sport I really enjoyed it and subscribed right after watching another brilliant and funny video thank you How’s the L405 best wishes take care, ian.

I was that 🤏 close to buying one of these. Thought ill call a couple of indy RR mechanics to see what to look out for other than what I already knew. Both of them, who also own RRSports said basically they are shit but just have some magic about them so buy one, cross your fingers and get a good warranty. One mechanic said he has a warranty on his own rrs as he doesn't want to pay for parts when it breaks. Despite this I still want one 🤷‍♂️🤯😀

Very sound advice indeed. Hopefully I'm in the market for one of these on my next car change. I enjoy your vids so much i will give you a shout when I'm ready although I'm based in sarf lunden i you seem such a decent trader I'd happily purchase from you. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the time and information. I'm going to look at a 2010 super charged loaded..keeping in mind future repairs

One of these, or a Discovery 4? I’ve wanted a RR for years, this has made my mind up.

Bought one two years ago and for any issues I’ve had I love driving it. The negative comments from people are usually due to jealousy but I just ignore them.

Congratulations on 2 years of no-nonsense (apart from that ad in the previous vid 😉) advice and insights into "The Secret Life of a Used Car Salesman." Sounds like a softcore movie from the 80s 😄

Love good honest reviews, keep the money aside rather than maxing out is such good advice, great channel

Thank the motoring gods you uploaded, I had nothing to do and might have resorted to actually talking to my gf. 😂

“Nervous Nigel or Cautious Claude” 😂

Great review and beautiful car. My XF spent 8 months in the garage last year due to an electrical fault that even the engineers calling in from Germany just struggled to fix. Got there in the end and cost a little under £2k in ransom money before it was released! - but it was a well serviced car and the fault was completely out of my control. Your recommendation to keep some notes back for such rainy days is a great shout. I wanna get me an RR now.

Great advice. Common sense approach to any car lasting as long as possible. My 1988 BMW 325is is sitting in my driveway. Purchased May 1988 brand new directly from BMW factory while in the military. This advice is what has kept “The Enterprise” running without issue. Preventive maintenance is needed for everything to run right.

We should have a whip round to buy you some new jeans.

I think that the "reliability issues" are overstated for jaguars and land rovers, with a lot of that being bad press from the mericans due to their different ways of using cars and ill guess that servicing just costs more over there, I believe that both jags and land rovers are for people who like driving and not just using a car to get from A to B and understands that cars have to be regulary serviced, thats why you see the old man down the street still has that 80s jag with over 200k on the clock and every other month on a sunday he tears down the engine and cleans it all up on his driveway.

Hi Matt Phil from Cornwall here I think you know who I am loved this I worked at Landrover in the eighties on the RangeRover fitting the gear boxes hard work but I loved it love your blogs mate

Brilliant honest up front videos 👍

You always look at home in a Range Rover in these videos.

For a 10 year old car, those Range Rovers hold their value quite well

High Peak Autos keep uploading loving the material

Great and honest review! Love your channel and find it a daily inspiration. All the best to you Mat! Best, Richard

Should you? Possibly not. Do you want to? Probably.

"how often do you change a turbo in a car". While my car is currently getting a new turbo. Fml

every one of your videos has a snippet of fun and many great pointers - better than the telly every day of the week.

Brilliant ,just what I needed to here.I will be buying a RR with your advice ,Thankyou

Qashqai,s are Renault running gear that’s why they break down, they are as much Japanese as the queen of united Britain, let’s be honest if you want to run a Range Rover and enjoy it to its full potential you’d need a good warranty or a few quid tucked away for that inevitable day when a light comes on the dash or the air suspension explodes

6:08 am I wrong to think nissan is basically a rebadged renault and isn't really Japanese? Either way I think honda and toyota is the strongest, they're the car equivalents of the Nokia 3310 imo

Exactly what i needed its unreal.. Thank you!

Love your insights keep up the great content all the best from John
