BRUTALLY HONEST REVIEW OF THE 4.2 V8 SUPERCHARGED RANGE ROVER L322

Here's my brutally honest review of the 4.2 V8 Supercharged Range Rover, this one from 2006! Does the supercharged Jaguar engine suit the L322 platform, or is it wasted?

What are your thoughts on the 4.2 Supercharged L322 Range Rover?

[@lbnewell23]

I think it’s one of the two L322’s to go for. Either this or the 4.4 TDV8. Supposedly the two most reliable engines of the bunch the benefit you get with this one is speed sound and ulez but personally I’d probably still go for the TDV8 mainly because if fuel economy and the fact that the 4.4 is still surprisingly fast

[@johnj596]

06 seats are my favorite because they have the shoulder support where the later models got rid of it. Only the 2018 and up have shoulder support now

[@CEC321]

If you have the budget, L405 is a better buy. And the L405 wheels on that L322 are atrocious. It makes the vehicle look confused and in the midst of an identity crisis.

[@lbnewell23]

It’s not necessarily everyone’s cup of tea but I bought my TDV8 L322 because of your reviews. I absolutely love it. It has sufficient boot space for what I need and the driving position is as you rightly said, unexplainable in words. Biblically good.

I bring my 2004 4.4 v8 petrol l322 out on a weekend. Such a fantastic all round vehicle. Just completed a 400 mile round trip to Norfolk and back. Bought in 2021 4k. Spent 2 k on it and it works like a dream.

I bought a 2007 one 2 months ago. Fuel economy is poor, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make to own such a lovely car. I had to get petrol for ULEZ compliance. I'm also led to believe the Superchargers are more reliable than the turbos. The driving position is excellent and you can see everything outside. It's a wonderful car that does everything I need. I can have dogs in the back, do tip runs in it, but can also use it for nice drives and when you want to go out in the evening. Really is everything you need. Despite it's age it's still a head turner and I get lots of compliments about it all the time. I really don't see myself getting rid of it.

I first experienced this engine in a girlfriend’s RR autobiography … so I went off and bought a Jag S type R and did 100,000 miles trouble free motoring in that all over the country and was in love with it until it hit 170,000 miles. Then I bought a TDV8 L322 with 70,000 miles on it which I’m also in love with. My other half uses it for towing horses and piling in bailes of hay … and I waft around in it with its perfect cream seats and take 2 big dogs everywhere for walks. I’m now looking at a newer SVO or autobiography SC V8 again … but I’m thinking about keeping this for her and the dogs … and being a 2 RR family. I also still have my S1 Lotus Elise, so obviously I love lightweight also … I’m just now addicted to the absolute all round ability of the full fat RR. Great channel - getting better all the time 👍👍

[@davealbon2085]

Up until recently I had a 4.4 tdv8 Westminster...loved that car! Did a realistic 26mpg. But after selling the caravan I just couldn't justify the expense as was only using it every couple of weeks and also run 3 motorbikes and 2 other cars.....my dream car that was. Love your channel 👍

I too have a 4.4TDV8 Westminster, I'm getting real time 34mpg, usually all long motorway journeys, I try and avoid the short journeys where it is much lower.

[@philipgrice1026]

I paid $7,000 for my $92,000 4.2 RR SC about five years ago. The RR 'dealer' had installed an undersized battery, so the BMW electronics mostly failed to work until I rightsized the battery after a couple of days. I had the sealed for life (i.e. short life) ZF box drained and refilled at around 90,000 miles which was late, but it has survived so far. Just don't stand on it in 2nd, and always use manual for the first few miles on very cold days, but after another 25,000 miles it's almost perfect, so I think I'll just treat it to another lubricant and filter swap in about another month. The air suspension compressor was noisy and soon failed, but a replacement from China that is visually identical to the OEM one was only a couple of hundred bucks and easy to swap in under an hour. The hardest part was getting the bloody heavy 20" spare out of its well. Both folding drinks holder were gummed up with spilled Coca-Cola or something similar. (The PO obviously had children of all ages, including adult). They are quite easy to remove, wash and replace in perfect working order. The FO audio was dead but easy to repair by bypassing the dead Bluetooth telephone module, which serves no useful purpose these days. I removed and repaired the CD player, which was gummed up with dust and needed some lubricant, swapped out the DVD player with one from eBay and, with the car working well, made my one big mistake. I replaced the well-worn Pirelli Scorpion tires with some slightly bigger, sticky Kumho tires. My highway gas mileage dropped from 20 MPG (US Gallons) to around 16 MPG! I use the power of the supercharged engine and attest that the Kumho's stick like sh*t to a blanket, but 4 MPG! Woah. I won't make that mistake next time. It rains a lot here in Oregon, and the RR leaked a lot. Water coming from under the dash. Water coming down through the front seat belt retractors. Water pouring through the electronics installed on both sides of the rear load area. All the online advice was wrong! The windshield was not leaking. The roof rack mountings were not leaking. The rear door seals were not leaking. The rear sunroof drains were clogged so once the sunroof pan was full the accumulated water would slosh over the edge and flow forwards, backwards and sideways on top of the headliner depending on the motion of the car, or how it was parked, and flow down into the car from wherever it gathered on top of the headliner. Since the rear drains are impossible to reach and clear without removing the roof it seems, I just used RV roof sealant tape to seal the sunroof (which never gets opened in Oregon anyway) and once the car dried out no water leaks have ever returned during the wettest winter on record! I have one remaining challenge. I'm convinced the bloody Germans have never forgiven we Brits for beating them in WWII., especially BMW. The manky electronics are overengineered but under designed. Three bus systems, excessively voltage sensitive circuitry and many connectors positioned where they are bound to get wet in a Land Rover. Like many other Range Rover (and BMW owners) I am trying to identify the source of a parasitic voltage drain. I have found several so far, but am confident there is at least one more to locate and eliminate. I'm a retired computer engineer. If any computer company built computers the way BMW designed electronics, they would have been driven out of business decades ago! All the above said, I still love my SC RR. It rides superbly, goes like hell when asked, and goes pretty much anywhere I want to go without any fuss. We especially like the tall 'greenhouse' which provides fantastic vision around us for both viewing the countryside and safety in dense traffic. If it was good enough for Queen Elizabeth II to drive around Windsor, it's good enough for me. It was, and she did. The Range Rover L322 is without a doubt the best 4x4 by far. Still.

[@TheAlexingram]

My dad has had a 2008 3.6 TDV8 for the last 7 years or so. Now on 175k miles, and I absolutely love it. It’s sitting in facelift 20 inch wheels, black with chrome over cream interior with piano trim and black piping, such a classy spec and classy car. So good off road, incredible for towing, and just sublime on a long journey. Honestly one of the best all round cars ever made in my opinion, so easy to place on the road despite its size, and you’re bang on about wanting to make you drive slower

[@jakecross1994]

Got this engine in my L320 and its easily one of my favourite cars ever to just rattle along in. The whine is addictive though and a sub 90l tank makes the range laughable even when full. Still suck a cracking engine though and from all i can read up on is one of the most reliable available between the L319, L320 and L322. Even managed 24.5 mpg calculated on the last 200 mile trip. Got it over the L322 purely because of the rust concerns (and its £1500 pricetag to buy) and willing to spanner 95% of things myself.

[@100cityrock]

L322 4.2 supercharged V8 ... Great car ... But if you want a similar aged Range Rover, and want to thrash round corners, try a Range Rover Sport L320 with the same supercharged 400 hp V8 engine ... slightly quicker, much better on corners, and the Brembo brakes are astounding ... but the suspension is not quite as soft, and has a very slightly less luxurious interior ... but easier to parallel park in London (it's five inches shorter than an L322 and has extremely sharp steering) and, being powered by petrol, it is ULEZ compliant. On the occasional motorway trip to Yorkshire or Somerset, from London, it does 22-24 mpg ... around town it does less than half that ... but so what! ... a regular yearly service at a specialist Land Rover establishment, a weekly visit to my local Hand Wash site and an interior/exterior mini-valet every three months ... perfect ... Total maintenance and running costs? ... Much, much cheaper than setting fire to cigarettes every day.

My wife had a 2006 RRS with the same engine - was lovely, just got a bit too expensive for the mileage she was doing. Had 175k on the clock when she sold it to my brother 3 years ago. Get a pre Apr 2006 and you get the cheaper road tax, other HUGE advantage is they are all ULEZ compliant - unlike any of the diesels, the petrol V8s are also MUCH more reliable than any of the diesels and surprisingly cheap to service at a specialist. Put those 3 together and thats a lot of additional £££ in your wallet for super unleaded. Highly recommended 😊

On the highway at about 70 mph I average about 20 mpg. I can get from my home in the Bay Area to San Diego CA on a SINGLE tank, honestly for what the truck is and the passing power it has, I'd say it's decent.

I love my 4.2 SC. It’s so special and a dream to drive! The upsides outweigh the downsides IMO. The downsides are shocking fuel economy - it doesn’t matter how rich you are, you will still notice it as you are in the petrol station constantly!!! I once saw a guy putting £20 in L322TDV8. I wouldn’t even bother with that amount in a 4.2SC as it wouldn’t move the needle…..just fill it to the top otherwise you’ll literally never get anywhere. Oh, and maintenance is also VERY expensive - cutting corners on these cars is a fools errand, and it’s a crime not to look after these beauties properly. Mine has been well looked after its whole life, and even though it’s now in storage and only comes out occasionally, it still costs thousands per year in maintenance. 🧑‍🔧 But as I said, the positives outweigh the negatives - it’s that simple! 👍🏿

I have done a review with the latest generation D300 Sport: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIuVpaylgcaqitU

Yep thirsty but i had a c63 for 12 months when russia invaded Ukraine and petrol went up 😮 Great fun tho and i miss it !!

Great driving experience but ownership is akin to filling your wallet with your savings and leaving it on a park bench.

[@coddiwomplecolster7329]

Quite a lengthy review with many repetitive themes. You could have cut at least 10 minutes to create the same story without being overly wordy.

[@FDFDFD2023]

Or you could just shut it absolute prick

With the price of fuel now 14mpg is a dinosaur that makes no sense then you have the high price of taxing it. A diesel is definitely the way to go on these.

[@itsjoel]

I do agree. ULEZ is the main issue now for early diesels though £12.50 a day!

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

​@itsjoel I must admit if I lived in London I wouldn't own a L322 I would go for something more modern to avoid the Ulez charge. Problem is these Green air areas are growing aswell I got a ticket after being diverted off the Motorway through Bristol in a 14 plate Mondeo as its euro 5 and didn't meet their euro6 standards. I managed to get the fine taken away after showing evidence that I had no choice but with more and more areas adapting to this, I think it could make driving a none compliant car really stressful and I can't see the government not targeting big petrols next. I don't think they will be happy until we are all in soulless Ev boxes

I’d sooner have a Land Cruiser to be honest.

[@kristianspencer1978]

Cayenne turbo. ? 450 bhp..

[@monkeymagic4555]

What a load of garbage the TD6 bmw is THE engine to preferably have (choosing to tune optional) only down side of that set up was the gearbox BUT £1500-2500 every 60-80k miles not that big a deal and know what you have again for another 60-80k miles generally worst case scenario.......

[@daveallen3607]

4.4 tdv8 is the best

[@GLH8]

Its cheap for a reason

[@georgesemple8136]

yes,money pit comes to mind

[@TheRaven.]

I don’t think I’ll be exchanging my 4.5 V8 955 Cayenne for one any time soon.

[@itsjoel]

It was really interesting when I got back into my Cayenne to drive home after filming this review. I wasn't dissapointed with it, put it that way.

[@TheRaven.]

@@itsjoelgood man, I hope you’ve changed your mind about selling, unless it’s to upgrade to another model of the cayenne 😊

[@jameshunterford4099]

I don’t see many considerate slow driving Range Rover drivers on the motorway 🤔… Ripping down the outside lane way in excess of the speed limit pressuring drivers ahead to move over is more accurate.

[@itsjoel]

I think those types of drivers can be found in all types of cars unfortunately.

[@jameshunterford4099]

@@itsjoel That is true… I saw someone doing the same in a ratty Daewoo Matiz … I thought it was going to explode. They’re properly rare now as well 😆

It looks like its been designed by a 5 year old who has drawn a car by using a match box as ina stencil. If this car is typical of what British automotive engineers produce I can understand why our car industry is now so much smaller than it was.
