L322 Range Rover TDV8 long-term update. Is this peak Range Rover?

The L322 Range Rover first went on sale in 2002 but the updated version launched in 2006 has become peak Range Rover for me. I met up with a neighbouring farmer, who also owns a 2007 Range Rover, to what makes this model of Range Rover so special.

Don't get one if you aren't made of money. They are amazing driving and convenience cars, but the maintenance cost is absolutly insane. Most owners will tell you that, they love their cars but have thrown absurd amounts of money at them.

[@Tailhook69]

As an L322 driver, 2012 model, you must set aside £2k a year to cover maintenance, both scheduled and preventative. With that, it's been an incredibly reliable vehicle with unsurpassed levels of comfort and safety. To those driving the latest SUV and paying circa £1k a month, just who is the fool ;)

[@mycomputergl0wsblu]

@@Tailhook69youre right. My father has been running a 2011 5.0 since it was new, today it has 140k miles on it, original engine, original transmission. He wont let it go, I think I am finally getting close to convincing him to get a last model year L405. Ill bet he will still keep his L322, he is legitimately attached to the car.

This video is exactly why I love this channel. A collab with Clarkson thats completely casual and genuine. No clickbait or clout chasing. Harry has got to be one of the classiest car journalists on KZbin.

[@mrmartin2079]

He definitely is ( and the most genuine)

[@filipkonopacki1547]

I have enormous respect for Clarkson, Wilman, Hammond and May for what they achieved with Top Gear and I was devastated when the BBC canned it (although Clarkson’s behaviour was inexcusable). However, seeing him together with Harry, I had the impression that for Clarkson it is more about himself than about the cars. Mr. Metcalf, on the other hand, appears to have a much smaller ego and a more genuine interest in the car itself and the audience he’s doing it for.

[@chdreturns]

Also bear in mind the fact that Jeremy admitted his range rover is essentially totalled at this point but he fixed it past it's worth due to an emotional attachment to the car.

Don’t get a turbo version and a lot of those expensive repairs go away. The parts for these cars have gone down a lot in the past 4 years alone and it’s actually pretty fast for any repair I’ve had done.

Having grown up on a farm and driving a farm Defender (before they were called Defenders) and now owning a Discovery 5, this video was totally relatable. I'd prefer the new Defender too for exactly the reasons that Jeremy mentioned and whilst I feel that the Discovery should revert to a proper split tailgate, I am finding the fold down inner 'gate' very, very useful for the reasons that Harrry said.

Back in 2019, I paid $4,900 for a 2007 L322 Supercharged with 280k miles on it. It was my 9th Land Rover purchase. It was amazing. I sold it this spring for $5k with 335k miles on it- still running great on its original engine & transmission- and with minimal repairs. It’s still on the road. I miss having one. It was the pinnacle of Range Rover development. Great video!

[@jerry6711]

Hello. What did you have to repair during the ownership?

[@07FJC]

@@jerry6711 Brakes, radiator, headlight switch, alternator, bonnet release cable, coolant expansion tank, boot seal, sun visor retainer clip, one air strut, backup camera and a few bulbs. Never left me stranded though.

[@jerry6711]

@@07FJC Thank you very much. I really appreciate it! One more question please. When you replaced just one air strut, did you find the car handling in a weird way? I replaced just one front shock absorber in my 2005 second generation Ford Focus and the weird feeling was like car was heavier on one side.

[@07FJC]

@@jerry6711 I lived in Eastern Oregon then, and one night it got super cold and when I got up, the one corner was all the way down. It had been fine during my 90 mile commute the day before. Swapped out the air bag & never looked back.

[@romulox4318]

Yeah. BMW spent like a billion developing it and then Ford came in and put on the finishing touches with the Jaguar engines.

[@cuddlemuffinqueeflover56]

Great to see Harry and Jeremy so relaxed and just having a blather and not showing any over the top fake enthusiasm. And like these 2 I love the L322 Range Rover.

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@arthurosborne2445]

Harry’s wife deserves a medal for filming this and not moaning about them complaining and talking complete bollocks ! Great video

[@rwretirementliving6423]

Haven’t watched Clarkson for sometime, he does have a wonderful term of phrase, humour entwined, lovely. A couple of old mates, mutual respect, having a yarn and I’m entertained. I’m getting on too it seems.

[@howardhorner226]

Congratulations to this video, that has now become Harry's Garage's most viewed video! It is a reminder of how fantastic youtube and the internet can be - no clickbait, no drama, no falsehood. Just 2 passionate people talking about what they love. Brilliant!

[@alfienewnham363]

i could listen to these two talk all day!

[@richardcarter1000]

Brilliant. I have a L322 3.6, in the same green, done 138k miles now, over 100k with me. Had it rust proofed, a keeper. Best they've made.

[@HoosierHacker]

Most British episode ever haha. These gents are the best in the biz

[@Askgeez]

Really liked my L322 . Had the 4.2 petrol supercharged 😊. Noise was great!! A “GAP diagnostic” tool is a great gizmo to own for programming / resetting .

[@michaeljenkins5155]

I could sit and listen to this all day. Just brilliant!

[@jameslewis2810]

This is precisely the content that I come for. Two gents shooting the breeze, gushing over their 16 year old Range Rovers.

[@deloreanman14]

The L322, '06 to '08 is peak Range Rover, in my opinion. I loved them when they were new and I love them more with each passing moment. That being said, the P38 will always have a special place in my heart.

[@joshuakhaos4451]

I'd say for many car brands, that was the peak in general. Some brands had the spill over into the early 2010s, but by 2015. Those cars are not things I see many people keeping for 16-20 years based on all the screens and electronics. The cars from the 2000s are the perfect mix of mechanical and tech wrapped up into a case of metal.

[@rkan2]

​@@joshuakhaos4451I always say 90s design, 2000s build. When you couldn't design every cost cutting measure perfectly but had to have some margin. And the 2000s production when everything was basically as sophisticated with robots as it is today. Also proper solvent based paints have gone to water based which don't last as well. Basically peak manufacturing just before the greatest environmental restrictions started. With Diesels I also think 2004/2005 was the best, since after 2006 DPFs became mandatory in EU/US.

[@1MrErling]

What's most reliable; V6 or V8 diesel?

[@Crunklefloop]

@1MrErling in the L322 the 4.2 S/C Petrol is considered the most reliable. Mines on 237,000miles now and aside from the usual servicing parts it's needed nothing. There isn't a V6. The engine options were 3.0 in-line 6 diesel (BMW motor which is reliable but underpowered and had weak gearboxes), 4.4 BMW petrol V8 (good engine and reliable but I think they need timing chain tensioners fairly often) Later L322s had either a 3.6TDV8 diesel (what Harry and Jeremy have, good motors but the turbos are a weak point (possibly only caused by a failing EGR valve upstream taking out the turbos). Then there were the 4.2 Supercharged and 4.4 N/A Jaguar petrol engines (both very reliable). The last cars had 4.4TDV8 (loads of power and addressed a few issues with the 3.6 however there are some reports of issues arising now) or a 5.0 Supercharged petrol (Stupidly powerful but not as reliable as the earlier 4.2 version). In summary, if you want a diesel, go for the 3.6 or 4.4 but budget for getting the EGR replaced regularly. Or get a 4.2 Supercharged petrol and have the most reliable version, but bear in mine they are thirsty and average around 15mpg

[@deloreanman14]

@@joshuakhaos4451 Couldn't agree with you more. On cars of that era, the tech was there but it wasn't the end-all-be-all of the vehicle.

[@v8gtr]

I have the same L322 (57 plate) TDV8 and had exactly the same problems, alternator at around 100,000 miles and split turbo hose around the same time and now at 140,000 miles it's still going strong. Thinking I would go one better I purchased a 66 plate L405 SDV8 autobiography with 35,000 miles not so long ago and kept the L322 as a backup for lugging stuff around and not too bothered if it got scratched and abused. And to this day I fall in love again every time I get in it. I feel part of the car and in full control whereas the L405 just feels ... kind of unfriendly in comparison. Dont get me wrong, the L405 is a very nice car and I test drove many other cars before deciding to upgrade to the L405 but it's still not as good as the L322 and yes, it's got to be a strong contender for the best RR ever.

[@simonhaycocks]

One of my all time favourite videos on KZbin. Please do more collaborations with Jeremy because he’s my screen idol and you both get on so well. 🙏

[@krs5203]

I think Harry's Garage needs more of these type of chats with your mates. The familiarity you both have with each other makes for honest, informative and entertaining viewing. who next though?! Catchpole? Bovingdon? Big Chris Green?!
