They are not that unreliable, honestly.

Great review. I have a USA-spec 2007 L322 Supercharged. It’s been a fantastic vehicle, and just rolled over 330,000 miles. Original engine & transmission, and it really hasn’t needed much. It helps that it’s super dry here so no rust. Cheers!

Great review, Ben. We have a 2008 HSE V8 with 175,000 miles. The paint and interior still looks great. We did go through a phase at 150K with a few big ticket repairs, but she’s back to her old reliable self now. We just handed her down to our youngest son who just started driving and he is so proud of it. I replaced it with a 2019 Supercharged V8. People often ask me how I like my Range Rover. I tell them all to never get one. They ask why? Are they that bad. My answer is always no. They are so great that once you own one, you’ll always have to have one. Keep up the great work, my friend. We all get so very much from your videos.

I’ve owned my L322 since 2002 , bought new , 20 years of ownership 220k all done by me and I love it now as much as the day I bought it , I service it twice a year change the gearbox oil once a year as I’m on my second gearbox, when things go wrong I have a good man who fixes things for me , but truthfully it doesn’t really give me problems, I drive it to Spain 🇪🇸 every year 1500 miles each way and have done for the last 15 years . Your video is spot on though . I will never sell it as I love it so much

Hi Ben you are a great inspiration for alot of people being disabled and having the attitude you have to mend your own car. Love the videos and your view's on the l322.

I have owned Toyota Landcruisers for over 30 years (first a 4.2 turbo diesel and now a 4.7 V8 petrol with over 200,000 miles on it now) and they have been utterly reliable as well as being luxurious and fully-loaded with all the usual creature comforts. Will find it difficult to justify changing to a Rangerover.

In the case of JLR products, any list of possible problems is much shorter if you list what go wrong, break down, corrode away, fail to work etc. etc. Beautiful cars which won't break down - as long as you don't drive them! If you do drive them something is almost guaranteed to break down on a regular basis.

Very cool with the beret 🧢 ! Sunny 😎 sky ! I have two (4.4 and 4.2 ) L322 , both reliable ! Unique driving experience !!

Great job ben as a young tdv8 owner from Ireland you give me great inspiration in caring and looking after my 3.6 simply awesome vehicles and nothing else will do keep up the great work 😎

We have had 5 of these Range Rovers in the company - what you have said is spot on in every detail - even little things like the lower tail gate strut cables rust - well done Fella a good all round review. One last thing - Range Rover UK should never say gear boxes are sealed for life ! Think you had this spot on all the way through

Well done Ben, your determination to keep the RR on the road is great, sealed for life is a service departments sales line, they know they will go south at some point.As long as you treat as a 4x4 and not a Ford Focus, everything is cool.

Wheel well water = sometimes it’s tailgate rubber seal, sometimes upper tailgate hinges too

Top video. Really helpful and great presenting by Ben.

Great video Ben, not sure if you remember but I was the guy on your live feed who asked about Range Rover or ML to buy, well I bought a TDV8 and love it, different class, keep the videos coming, looking forward to live chat.

Love your work thanks for your advice.

Very helpful Ben! Thank you

Thanks for this video

These cars still amazing. Last year I finally could buy a RR Sport tdv6 from 2008. Yes with the 2.7 liter "nightmare" engine. I changed EGR valves, oil, filters, timing belt, and some little things. Everybody told me, this car will be a disaster. I use it more than a year ago. It covered 270.000 kms (168.000 miles). In my country there is a lot with around 300.000 miles. I did 10.000 miles since I bought the car, I did not spend a penny except than need for oil replacement. The car is a 2.5 tonns of sensitive, fine, luxury, awesome tank. The flying start, the dragrace is same crazy movement, like a Ferrari in the mud. The Range Rover can accelerate as well like a rocket (especially the V8) and the Ferrari can go in the mud a little bit. If the driver use his brain, even a 2.7 can be a good "everyday" car. I go to the job, I go to drive for a trip at holidays and enyoj the ride. Yes my car is 13th years old, yes I could by a 8 years old Ford Focus instead of this, but why should I do that? :D Thanks for this very informative video, I am very optimist about my car for the next 10 or 20.000 miles. Even a cheap "anycar" need EGR valves, timing belt, oil, filter and many more. We have only one life. Many of us can not buy a new R. Rover. But a cosy sofa is a cosy sofa after a some of parties as well. Oh and a very important information: In my country (Hungary) the yearly insurance is less than 220 pound. :)

- what goes right on a Range Rover... LoL ... mine has turned me into a mechanic 👍🏼

I bought a TD6 just before Christmas partly because you said that they’re good in your older videos. Now you’ve got a TDV8 you say you wouldn’t touch a TD6! To be fair, my TD6 has been pretty well behaved. At 162k on the clock, chances are that many of the common issues have been dealt with. Only things I’ve done so far is a gearbox service and replace the cabin blower resistor. I’m too stubborn to pay for the highest band road tax anyway, so my Range Rover was always going to be pre-2006 whatever I bought!

Great job Ben its my first time on your channel n just B4 the end I was compelled to subscribe you explain everything in a language we can understand n appreciate thanks for a great channel mate

Just got a cheap tdv8 3.6 2006 for 4.5k. Had it 2 weeks and absolutely love it. Its in great condition apart form a a bit of rust low down in rear arches but hey I practically stole it. The fact that the v8 engine is ford derived (a nugget of information I was desperate to know btw) fills me with confidence. Who else does a v8 better than ford lol. I have bought a blanking kit for the egr valves which im going to fit this weekend. Bit risky I know but its so cheap I'm not afraid to take the plunge and not about to buy the 500 odd quid diagnostic/remap tool thing that you suggested in your vid. This channel is fantastic you have replaced hubnut for me lol..keep up the good work.

Awesome one Ben. I have a 230k 2010 TDV6 thats been thoroughly serviced with auto sump plate correction at 50k and proper flush plus transfer and diffs likewise on the intervals. Lately I’ve been wondering should I change to newer but once you’ve had one its to let it go. New way too expensive here in ‘Straaya’ so setting aside a relatively large but cheap in comparison annual / ugly surprise budget and aiming at 500ks. The beauty is I get to drive it. Great non-bs channel and thanks for your efforts.

Great review Ben..

Ben much love to u from one of your viewers from Jamaica Jamaica love your program u have a very huge heart be strong keep doing yr thing

Really enjoying these videos and there mega useful as I'm this 🤏 close to buying an 07 RR. I just need to take the plunge

Emanuelle on line Ben - I'm sold already haha. Good video. Glad to see a bit of sun where you are

Hey Ben.The thing that is the scariest for me are the electronics. I loved the L322s that I have tried out and I'm sure I'll find the right one. The problem that I have is the timing to get over to the dealer for a test drive. I've missed out on a couple that were already sold just within a week.

Recognised most of the faults, per my 2011 L322. The rear arches are coming up for their second refresh

Good video mate well done.

Just bought a cheap 05 range rover vouge l322 tried fixing all the faults shockingly bad cars can't be bothered to try and fix it so will sell it ASAP

A very good and informative video.......

Great video for I’m looking for a Range Rover for the winter time. There very affordable now.

Always worth buying a GAP diagnostic programming tool

2008 l322 hse it’s started popping out of drive but ok in sport mode Can you do a video on why and how to fix it I think it’s to do with linkages somewhere

Thanks for this, well summed up. I own a 2002 L322 TD6 (yikes!) which I’ve had for 12 years. I bought it for 13,000 Euros in Latvia with 230,000km on the clock no service history (double yikes!) It’s my “Europe” car so only averages 4000 miles a year, but predictably during the first few years of ownership I was paying for the legacy of wear & tear from its previous life. 12 years on, having replaced the gearbox, front air suspension, turbocharger, fuel pump, injector, brake pipe, wiper motor, handbrake assembly, discs all round, ABS Modulator and sunder other items, and also some minor bodywork, to the tune of around 16,000 Euros over that 12 year period, for the last 3 or 4 years it has begun to behave more like a car that only does 4000 miles a year. It gets serviced by Land Rover and gets a full underbody steam clean & anti rust treatment each year. ❤Based on personal experience, my advice to anyone buying one, regardless of which year or version: 1. Full service history 2. £3000 maintained as a float for unexpected repairs 3. Source a reputable independent garage which knows Range Rovers 4. Deal with issues immediately even if the car still runs ok 5. Anti rust treatment 6. A spare runabout, access to partners’ car or other form of transport (don’t rely on this as your sole means of essential transport) 7. Full breakdown cover with vehicle recovery If following these points seems worth it for you to enjoy this awesome vehicle (it certainly is for me) then you’ve made the right choice 👍

Hey Ben, have you heard anything from the 5.0 Jag engine? Great Videos, keep it coming Thanks.

When are we all coming in L322 convoy to see you in France?

That manual looks very like topix ....!

I want to buy land Range Rover supercharger 2012, please I want to know the maintenance of it and also the minor problems it normally has .

Seiko 5 with a Jimmy Bond strap? nice.

Everything!

Hi Ben I have air suspension inactive but the car stays perfectly on middle stage and it doesn’t go down or up.The switch for air suspension lights red in the middle and I don’t know why?Please help me.Also if I leave it like this I will have any problem with the car, Thank you 🙏

The better question Would be “” What doesn’t go wrong on a Range Rover “”. I should know! I’ve been “ Stung “ several times Never learning my lesson, Hoping I was just Unlucky. The last one I had needed well over £4000 spent on it just to get it through an MOT . It had 71 faults … 40 of them mechanical. The rest electrical ….

Ben are they as troublesome as the discovery /3/4 I’m sure you know what goes wrong just like to know if the bigger jeep has bigger of the problems 👍👍👍

I've seen a "rule of thumb"..don't touch a TDV6 because of the crankshaft design issue..go for a TDV8 then go from there...not sure how true that is..

People just hatin one of the best automotive car in industry. Range Rover is a technical masterpiece having they're own problems like all manufactures. They are unique in terms of design features and capabilities while still combining supreme confort. They are not cheap to maintain,require premium fuel oil tires parts. Main problem is when service intervals or problems have been outlooked and then everything comes in cascade. For example egr failing leads to turbo end. Suspension components are beafed up and it's good to change everything in pair. Same for the tires having a good brand asures you have the full driveability. Keeping the body from rust especially rear arch which are metal instead of aluminium.

Can you do a video on what does NOT go wrong on an L322?

Wow nice in body shape vogue...

I will say that the diagnostic software is essential for the newer Range Rovers

How similar is that tdv8 to the tdv6....? I’ve seen feck all tdv8’s at work mabey only 1/2 dozen in the past year since moving to JLR job !

I would love to buy one, but in Portugal they are still very expensive to buy😢

Recently bought a 3.6tdv8 and was interested in a remap for better fuel economy. Can you suggest a good place for a remap?

Yea, I just lost ALL sound and no navigation screen. Whats fried now?

The biggest nightmare on Range Rovers is the electronics. Water is your biggest enemy

Could you kindly add links for the parts

Right, for starters, Good information. Intercooler hoses. I checked mine 2007 3.6tdv8 and one had a split. A big one, 50mm long. undernieth, i didnt see it. Anyway easy fix no more smoke fuel consumption down 50%. EGR valves. Didnt do that myself. Under load the alarm across readable screen and dreaded ding sound. Engine system fault. The car goes limp mode. To resolve, Shut down, start car to clear. it wont last long. So i had new range rover EGR valves replaced. 980 quid. Time id done the messing about and bus fare bag of sand. Now the car is like driving a bucket of cream. I now have one side of a rocker cover leaking oil. Not a great deal, about a litre every three months. but its the mess on the floor. I have been told by my mechanic, who is in his 50s like me, a friend since childhood, that its a game changer. as you cant get the cover off with the shell on? He said if im going to keep it and sort it out i will need to think about the twin turbos and the injectors when the lids off. so im looking at a few k for an irritating oil leak. Any thoughts.

I'm an Englishman who has been driving Land Rovers products for over twenty years and can honestly say there is no place more comfortable to be.... ....whilst waiting for a tow truck!"

Hi Ben, I am a new Range Rover owner, now I have just retired and time on my hands I decided to buy what I've always wanted. So I bought a lovely 2011 Range Rover Sport with a 3.0 V6 and it is superb, although it has a rather high milage 148,000 but I love it and I really enjoy watching your videos and getting tips. Thanks. Enjoyed the airport run video...

I woudn't touch anything with accident history, rust or a v8. Simple td6 and tune maybe a manual swap

This is my take on owning a Land/Range Rover. Don’t buy one if you’re not a mechanic, DIYer or you have a shit load of money to pay someone else to maintain it for you.

Thanks for that Ben. It's a very useful video to watch. I'm looking to buy a 2006 on Petrol V8 , (no point in having a diesel as I live in Outer London and diesel is a very dirty word here with the current mayor, results of election not come out yet) and I don't suppose it will be any better under whoever wins this time. I will be looking to put the car on LPG as I'm a fan of it and had it on my last two Discos. It would be nice to find one recently fitted with a new system, but if I can't find what I want I will go for a new system.

Sealed for the life of the warranty.....!

has anyone ever dropped in like an isuzu or toyota engine? i would love to see a video of that

Everything goes wrong on a Range Rover. :)

These Range Rovers might take you somewhere and refuse to come back home, for this reason I'm out ! 😕

Be easier to list what doesn’t go wrong. Ps would still buy one.

Get on with it, stop waffling , sheesh

Title should be “What doesn’t go wrong with Range Rover”

EXCELENT

😂😂😂

Good video...I was thinking about a discovery 3 a while back and found a channel called LR Time. The husband and wife team work on the car themselves and wow...it seems that Land Rovers will bankrupt you 1 day before they make you consider suicide. Why oh why can they look and drive like a a Land Rover but last like a Toyota Hilux or Amazon? I truly believe that Land Rover don't care about reliability as they know people will buy there cars regardless. XC90 is the way forward for me....yeah....yeah....I know what you guys are gonna say BUT......

Just delete the EGR valves
