We paid less than £1000 for this TDV8 - is it worth saving?
Рет қаралды 35,241
Күн бұрынI came across this top spec TDV8 Range Rover Vogue SE at auction, advertised as a non ruunner with no power to the starter motor. I couldn't help myself and with a bid way under £1000 I was amazed when I won the auction. If this L322 could be saved for under £500 it was going to make one hell of a daily driver. The spec is huge - and is probably all broken - at a cost of £70k new. Can I fix it? What do you think.....?
SPOILER ALERT!!!

That is unbelievable! I know it has a lot of miles on the clock but this is the price I paid for just a pair of headlamps! And it will look better with the sun shining. I get 35 MPG from mine down here in the South of France, no doubt your will be a bit more thirsty where you are, but once you have driven an L322 you will find everything else a rough ride. Stay safe! Chris B.

The terminal was melted from pulling a current for a long period which also blew the fuse, probably from reverse polarity using jump leads, it maybe also blew the fuses for anything that was turned on at the time hence the radio and ac not working but the heated seats and wheel are OK.

In a BMW X5 E53 which shares a lot of the same components as a L322 you have to pull a few fuses and put them back after the battery has been completely drained or you get some things not working. I believe it was fuse 43 under the dash.

Unless it’s a heart over head thing, don’t waste your time or money on an L405, tempting car though I know it is. The L322 is the easier car to live with, functional design and potential to fix things yourself considered. My neighbour has an L405 having “upgraded” from an L322. As he says, yes it has a panoramic roof option that the L322 doesn’t have, yes there are some newer toys and electronic wizardry that the L322 doesn’t have. But as he also says, non of it really improves the car and some of it actually makes it harder to live with whether it be accessibility, usability or reliability. Add in the recent theft/insurance scandal making keyless entry Range Rovers almost impossible to insure, L405’s registered in major UK cities in particular, it might not be viable to own anyway! He now looks at my immaculate low mileage Autobiography L322 (my insurance doubled this year) and openly confesses he made a mistake moving on to an L405, (his insurance cost quadrupled this year!) nice though they still are.

It doesnt have a gearbox qnd needs seats restored 1. Does a TDv8 engine fit in a P38 2. Can i fit the l322 console in the P38. I know I'll lose most function of the l322 console but it would make the car more modern inside. Its purely aesthetic Thanks in advance
