Good points regarding reliability. The problem isn't the L322, it's some owners' lack of willingness to understand how the L322's systems work... to learn about common faults, investigate and correct them, and to perform basic maintenance ahead of time.

I've just bought a 2012 Westminster TDV8 with 80k full SH and I'm expecting to do plenty of preventive maintenance. I actually enjoy working on my vehicles.

I ´m on my second l322, first 3,6tdv8 and now 4,4 td v8 and I love them all around. Yes they are complex, yes they can be costly when serviced, but the ride, power, comfort, versatile abilities and looks inside and out are just amazing. Thank you for your videos!

Completely agree with you, maintaining is essential, treat it well and it will serve you well.

Most of the problems with these cars relate from poor maintenance from previous owners. They are extremely complex vehicles that need to be properly cared for. I had a P38, and the only thing I had to replace on it was an alternator, which took 15 minutes to replace. I lived on a 30 mile unpaved unmaintained road in the middle of the Adirondack state park. It never once let me down, but I cared religiously for it. I am now onto a L322 which I am trying to restore.

I’m a Lexus fan boy. Just picked up a 2012 Range Rover supercharged. 1 owner serviced at Land Rover it’s entire life. Absolutely love it . Powerful smooth and luxurious. 76k miles

I think the main thing is with people is that they buy these things but can't afford to maintain them properly. I'm a landrover fan had a few over the years and currently drive a discovery 4 and love it.

You'd be lucky to find anyone who knocks these cars that has even sat in one ... L322 particularly later models are phenomenal machines with no reliability issues what so ever. The V8 diesels are some of the finest engines ever made

My l322 is 16 years old and I love it , passed mot no advisories except side steps need replacing, what a drive and what a car , there are no more probs than any other vehicle 👌

I do wonder why people that dislike Land Rover’s are watching Land Rover videos 🤔 I personally don’t like Toyota’s, therefore, I have never watched any videos about them. Great channel, love the overload trips with the L322 and all of the beautiful scenery. Keep the vids coming, us Land Rover (Fanboys) just love em 👍

Anyone who doesn't think the RR is a capable off-roader should attend the Land Rover off-road driving experience. You would be amazed at what these vehicles are capable of.

Great vid! I’ve heard it from modded defender drivers’ myself, that trash the range rovers. And point you to video clips showing a ‘street’ Range Rover with about 3mm of tread left on road tyres, spinning the wheels slowly in wet mud, and you see their defenders, sporting huge mud plugging tyres, are so obviously more rugged, and can flick wet mud higher than the trees they are steering around. And I say to them, ‘oh yeah, of course’ but the range won’t flick mud, as the traction control works to alieviate that eventuality. With mud tyres of course. Tyres are key. And those defenders, aren’t rotting to bits, leaking in water, have no room inside, drive like a tractor, and of course, NEVER break down! Enjoy the trip fella.

I have been quite satisfied with the reliability of my L320 and L322. They have been great.

Came across this today. Great video. I'm a proud Range Rover owner (4.4TDV8 Westminster 2012). I got mine 18 months ago. Preventative maintenance is the key with these vehicles and getting a feel for the car - it will tell you when things aren't quite right and need fixing. I have an excellent local specialist who supports me with mine and certainly not had anything which has caused me massive concern. Though the sensors are too clever for their own good sometimes and caused some head scratching! I've seen those trolls too on many channels. Everyone seems to have a friend who had an L322 and had to sell their vital organs to keep it running. Reality is every car will have problems. A complex vehicle like the L322 may have a few more. I suspect, though, that more problems are caused by owners who don't understand and respect the vehicle. On the flipside - trolls are giving you content ideas right? "It won't last 5 minutes off my driveway" - tick - you've proved that one wrong as it looked like a motorway cruise to me......

Ignore the trolls. Simply block or delete 👍 Preventative maintenance is key with a decent independent specialist 👌

I had a ‘95 Classic and I had some issues with it. When I looked into buying my current ‘11 HSE, I called my local LR Specialist asking about reliability issues with the L322. He was honest with me about the known timing chain issue with the gas motors. Everything else he said exactly what you said about improvements over the years and the importance of timely maintenance. With that I made the purchase and I’m so glad I did. I appreciate your approach to these vehicles, thanks for the content.

I love my L322. I’d drive it anywhere. People expect to buy a £60k vehicle for £5k then run it on Ford Sierra budget.

if we compare the l322 and, for example, the mercedes Ml, I'm sure that the ML will give less problems than the l322, but no one can compare the comfort, feeling of power and enjoyment of all that with the range rover. I have a l322, 12 years old, and 305k km, well-maintained exterior and immaculate interior. Good luck

Excellent points, thank you for posting. I have a 2011 SC L322. Its serving me well, gives me a sense of occasion every time i drive it. Love it! Preventive maintenance is what i have been doing and its been good so far. In the event that it does breakdown, then i will just fix it. Have a good one and i look forward to your next video.

I agree with your comments on a the L322. I have an 07 supercharged with 215,000 miles on it. Full service history and a great car to drive off road

I have a 09 hse 4.4 in Fuji white,it has brought me so many adventures,people don’t understand this generation of range rovers ,they are still so capable as off-road cars better than most “modern” suvs

Well said Mark, RR's just need extra TLC, if you think RR parts are expensive, nothing compared to Audi Q7 and X5 parts.

I've had my 2012 Westminster for 6 months now, and yes it's had its issues in that time, but nothing that I would consider a major issue, most parts were items I'd consider serviceable items, brake lines, washer jet for headlights, break pads and discs, yes they're brembo, but the weight of the car is justified, bushes, I mean bushes is a serviceable items, it's a near 3 ton car, and although I've spent maybe £800 in the 6 months with it, there's not a day goes by that I don't look at it and smile, this car even at 11 years old is still more luxurious at this price point than most used cars, it really is just a go anywhere do anything car, I can take it off road, I can drive 300 miles with ease and in comfort, i can go to work and back, I can take someone I'm trying to impress to a fancy restaurant and it doesn't look out of place with more modern luxury cars, until you've had one I don't believe you can pass judgment on it.

I’m on my 3rd L322. My first was woefully neglected, I treated it like a rental car and never had any major issues. My 2nd was pretty good other than multiple struts having to be replaced. Haven’t had enough time with my 3rd to tell….

My 2008 L322 TDV8 3.6 was the best car ever 8 years ownership. Replace it with a L405 Hybrid and broke down so many times.

I’ve had one for a year now ,when I got it within few months I got the gearbox oil changed ,last month I had my indie garage do full service on it then mot done cost me £350,will need a new tyre soon ,I’m going over to France in Jan so just got a roof box fitted ,mine is a 2010 also and I really love it ,no doubt things will go wrong but no diff to any car ,it’s how you look after them ,regardless of make and model

That's a beaut though, it looks like new, it's so sad to see ones like that at the scrap yard just because the owner was just a regular Joe and not a real Rover fan, mines hitting 127k miles and only now needs some bearings and balljoints, I had all the fluids done, $900 but I was so happy to find a rover shop while on a 3000 mile roadtrip out to Utah and back and they got it all done while I waited, turned out it was just the worn bearings overheating plus the stupid pcv and the fact it's 18 yrs old! And had a terrible 15 years in salty Chicago with little to no servicing that made it feel a bit slow, now it's a beast again and soo smoooth

I enjoy your videos. Keep spreading the word about Land Rovers. I own a LR3 and overland it often it has never left me stuck. I also take care of my vehicle and do all the suggested maintenance.

I have Disco 4 and people tend to underestimate how capable they are. Most people think that the RR's and Discos are just another mall-crawlers. Yes, they are not dedicated mud-crawlers (heavy) but neither are most of the land cruisers. And that's not their purpose. I only wish my Disco had the same engine that on this RR. Bit weary of the tdv6.

I adore these rangies... I even would love a p38🙄😁. Don't mind them and drive what you like and then fix them whenever.... I run amongst other vehicles an old gs1150 gsa... never fails and is always there at the journeys end. Perfect.... love the vids.👍👍

Totally agree Mark. Best vehicle and if you look after them they'll look after you. My 2017 Skoda had a faulty thermostat after 4 years and 50000 miles! What mileage interval did you do between gearbox services? Bought my 2012 AB with 107k last May, now done 114k. in that time (not that there were any faults) its had lots of preventative maintenance. Including a new battery, gearbox mega flushed, all fluids changed/flushed inc power steering and coolant, all front control arms & drop links, new front pads and discs, rear pads, anti roll bar bushes front and rear, Lanoguard underside and protected rear wheel arches with extra weatherstrips, gas struts replaced all round and alloys refurbished. Just had 2nd oil service in my ownership after 5000miles. Only faulty items were AC compressor, drivers heated seat unit and high level brake light which have all been done. No suspension faults! Drives really well. It's my 2nd car and used for long road trips and holidays. Otherwise it's driven every 2 weeks and starts every time. While it's not being used its covered up to keep it clean and protected from elements. Hoping to take it Russia next year to visit the in laws!

Love the real deal commentary and while driving. Awesome. Question: what's the display on your dash about? Navi?

Am just in the process of purchasing a 2005 4.4 petrol and I know its never been off road . It has full RR SH Been in same family since 2005 .its in mint condition with very low miles so not expecting problems ahead.

I bet must of these numpties have never owned a Landrover.

I’ve had my L322 07 TDV8 3.6 for two years. 190,000 miles. Needed some TLC. I’m still doing stuff to it and videos are in the works. But heck it’s a fantastic car.

most entertaining and informative!

I have just seen your great Video, I have a 2010 L322 3.6TDV8 Vogue SE Black, 1 previous owner (London) 40,307 miles when Bought from The Vogue Centre, (Great Service) & it is my 2nd RR having had a P38 before. New Battery, Heater Resistor, & I have done just replaced the Brakes Discs (Original) & pads parts from Rimmer Bros. I love the L322, & I have it looked after by a specialist Simon Huntingdon & do as much as I can of my own maintenance, I have also Lanoguarded the underside, but it's great Vehicle. Great Video

I'm driving an 18 yr old lr3, yes it's needed brakes and a spring conversion and the pcv was dumping oil into the intake so I plugged it up, but it's a magnificent car and I think the trolls are the people who wish they had one but don't know how to repair anything so they just become bitter trolls

Great video I have just purchased a 2011 model 4.4 Westminster and think it's a great machine previously owned a p38 4.6 and also had about 7 classic models and in all that time only ever had 1 classic give me trouble so they are a great car and I think the 4.4 with the 8 speed box is 1 of the best you can get 👍

My current lineup is two Disco 2s, a 2002 P38, and 2008 L322 (all petrol). I love them all but there’s nothing like the L322. The 322 was the pinnacle of off-road capabilities and aesthetics. The perfect blend of luxury and ruggedness. I work on all my vehicles and considering how enjoyable the 322 is to drive it’s the one vehicle I look forward to working on. I’m still looking for the best car play screen update out there so if anybody has suggestions I’d appreciate it. Rover On

Well said.

Very well said. Good video 👍🏽.

shh.. don't tell everybody they're full of shit.. I'll have to pay more for it when I find one

Do you think in the future you will get a l405 rr and build the same kind of overland vehicle would be a great for the channel 👌

I have learned a lot from you and your channel. Over the years I have come to realize that vehicle are a lot like people. Some you like some you don't like. The one you love often needs maintenance and we need to put up with their temper tantrums. We that is Range Rover for you. We love them. Why do we need to put up with trolls? We don't troll them and their vehicles. Whatever tickles your fancy. I honestly believe they are jealous.

Good on you for taking it off road have a TDV8 and a vogue and they off road all the time that’s what they were built for maintain the vehicle doesn’t matter which brand last for ages parts a cheap and mods are similar to other brand 🎉

I've owned 30 different cars atleast and 3 l322 and I'm going to buy a 4th by far my fav vehicle they can do it all💯

i love your l322, have you ever seen an overland l405 ?

I like you Videos very much. I build a L322 to an overlander right now an can relate a lott with what you saying. I run a Overland shop in Norway Germania Performace AS, come visit me when your visit the Oslo region. :)

IM FROM BOTSWANA AND ID LIKE TO GET ME ONE OF THESE

Hi I think people think they can drive in a luxury range rover and miss out on maintenance I say always have a spare 2 or 3 grand people cannot run on a shoe string

Hiya, do you have an email address I could contact you regarding your vehicle? Thanks

I will own one, just being picky.

Toyota might be their decision, fair enough, I respect it. Land Rover is my decision, why do they care? Probably jealous? 🤣

If 18s fit on it I would probably run them
