I'm on my 4th SDV8 Full Fat Rangie (7th Range Rover in total) - go and get it properly rolling road remapped (I only ever use DMS Automotive) and it will transform the car. You won't believe how quick 2.5 tonnes can shift! Fuel economy increased too which was a bonus. Definitely the way it should have come from the factory, 400hp and 750+ torque. My current one is the Euro 6 Autobiography so road tax is lower too, £395 I think. Epic cars!

There are rare moments when people admit they were wrong about something and revise their opinion. Thank you for this very honest statement.

If you dare to venture off the roads, that's where the true calling of this absolute off-road vehicle begins to unfold.

[@Mac_F87]

Best thing you can do on the SDV8 is change the oil at 5-6000 miles. More so if you do a lot of short journeys, they don’t like short journeys as it causes a lot of incomplete DPF regens, which in turn means more oil dilution.

Two things to help with the theft anxiety - switch off keyless entry (a feature I’ve never really valued on my L405) and always double lock the doors when you leave it. I might curse it now, but I think the vast majority of thefts rely on keyless entry - get rid of that and it becomes a lot harder to nick (🤞🤞🤞). Doesn’t help with insurance 😢 but better than nowt!

Funnily enough I find keyless entry with kids to be a really handy feature 😂 but yes this is likely sound advice

This means that that very often those engines are NOT working efficiently and how they were initially designed to operate. Remapping does what it says on the tin, re-flashing the ecu and engine management systems to retrain them get the best out the unit wether that be power output, fuel economy, removing hesitation/lag/fuel starvation etc. In most cases the various stages of a remap will only benefit the whole picture, how the vehicle drives, performs and even the longevity and reliability of the vehicle as a whole. 😎

Switching is something you would enjoy. I switched to a 2014 L494 SDV8 Autobiography after a very long list of hot hatches and performance cars. I traded in my M2 for the Range Rover. No regrets so far. I would say it’s best is you are not afraid to get stuck in doing maintenance yourself. I’ve had to do the oil cooler gaskets since buying it. Also replaced both handbrake actuators as they were cracked and causing fault codes and the handbrake to stick on at the most awkward times. I also changed all fluids front to back when I got it bar coolant. Bad points, my rear differential has started to fail. Unfortunately not something I could tackle myself as the earlier cars the propshaft is threaded at the rear diff end and held to the pinion nut by a threaded retaining nut. Of course that needs a specialist tool that’s £300 alone. So financially it makes sense to get my local specialist to do it.

I share your opinions on SUVs. However, the Range Rover, pre-dates the term SUV by decades. It's a proper, purpose built luxury offroader that has serious ability. It is not a jacked-up road car with an inflated body. It's ok to dislike SUVs but still like Range Rovers. I had a late 4.4TDV8 L322 and in many ways enjoyed owning that as a toy more than my C6 RS6. The RS6 is mental fast and sounds fantastic and I love it. But the Range Rover was just such a nice place to be and was so versatile.

Great question, this was my first use of it. I’ve got another video coming out tomorrow where I use it again in another car. I’m actually really impressed with it.

[@verykeen2please]

if its looked after, it will look after you, in style

[@Birmingham_racing]

Never knew why anyone hates a Range Rover just as accept it for what it is a large luxury barge

[@dadcars]

I do occasionally get comments from people who swear they were a reliability nightmare for them and that’s why they’d stay away from them

[@Birmingham_racing]

@@dadcars they are unreliable but I still love them

lol, she is a great climber 😂

There’s a lot of snobbery around SUV’s. I drive a model X (I’m sure there will be eye rolls at that) but it’s bloody brilliant. Rapid, very practical, no road tax or luxury car tax, £7.50 to fully charge and gets about 280-300 miles. Not sure I’d be getting Santa Fe or similar but fun can be had in the fast ones . If I was single I wouldn’t buy one but when you have kids and dogs they work. Also, no engine block to destroy my legs in event of a head on collision. And no, they don’t just randomly burst into flames.

[@AlexLR]

You can't compare a Tesla to a Range Rover. A bicycle has no road tax but it's still a bicycle.

[@KeyBrosUK]

Will be taxed from next year onwards - and that 7.50 is at home, be honest. Doubt that’ll last long either!

[@dadcars]

I genuinely love the model X doors, they are not just a gimmick

[@nmvi226]

Good for you I’m glad you enjoying your model x and when you get in a head on collision your legs will be saved. That’s the good thing about life we all entitled to get and do what we want with our lives and all should be celebrated even if preferences differ

Netherlands road tax is 800 per 3 months .. 😢

[@guyosborne2696]

An odd choice for a family with four children as the RR cannot seat six. Would you not have been better with a Discovery 5 that has seven seats?

[@dadcars]

I’m making a video about how I can turn this into a 6 seater 😎

[@guyosborne2696]

@@dadcars Wow, certainly different. Please include the conversation with your insurance company

[@Nagi98]

I get the feeling well be seeing Tom Lenthall from Tom Lenthall Ltd a lot on Dadcars. :)) Just kiddin`.

[@dadcars]

[@owainjones4584]

Checked insurance for me and it’s £800

[@dadcars]

Not bad! X5 was £300 for us

[@marcmitchell-miles1523]

Love these but lost me at £2k + for insurance

[@dadcars]

That’s what’s losing huge amounts of RR owners

[@tudoriusmaximus]

Regarding the safety, do you think this perception of safety is just a perception or is it at the same level as an XC90? Thanks Ben

[@waleso6508]

As a owner of an XC90 who has driven a rangie a few times, the safety on XC90 is way better. Automatic breaking, active Cruise control etc. But the driving experience is where the RR excels. The xc90 feels too bland in comparison. The RR makes you enjoy driving in a commanding and unrivalled experience and even makes other suvs like x5, Gle look like miniature suvs when you are driving it. 😊

[@dadcars]

I should be reviewing an xc90 soon

[@Lowkeygambler]

As an ex L405 SDV8 owner, i was waiting for this video 😂. Its inevitable that you will love it. They are amazing cars. You even start to have perceptions like," i feel like my kids are safer in this.." i know all about it, been there, until it broke down on the M1 😂. I would have another in a heartbeat.

[@cestrian5294]

RFL £785 I think, insurance ££££. Dealers 1 out of 10. Other than that, nice car.

[@geoffk777]

Yeah, that's the way it is with Range Rovers. They're comfortable, awe-inspiring and glorious. Until something goes pop and empties your wallet. Still you've had good Luck with Masaratis and Astons, which can also be disasters. So best of Luck!

[@MarcusRussell-g7m]

Morning Ben, I see you doing a great job of disliking the Rangie 😂, Marcus

[@dadcars]

It’s all gone wrong Marcus… I need help 🙈

[@MarcusRussell-g7m]

Serous help 😂

Turn off the keyless entry! Simple.
