Matt, I would love to see a follow-up video on the Range Rover Vogue after you had fixed everything. It would be interesting to know how much it all cost you and what needed to be fixed after the service.

Me too. I ran a TD6 for a few years about 10 years ago and every time it went wrong ( which was often ! ) it would cost some multiple of £800 to fix 😞 However I fancy a TDV8 now !

[@caryard3774]

When are you giving us a video where you show the landcruiser some love?

[@T-d8r]

Hello Matt That smoke is indeed the webasto heater. I have a td6 and its the same. Under 4 degrees Celsius outside temperature the webasto heater kicks in to help the engine warm up quicker. When the engine is warm it stops. If it don’t stops your thermostat is broken. I pulled out the fuse in the glove compartment. I mean why would u need this. Heated steering wheel, heated seat, heated front window, and the engine can warm up on its own like every other car😂😜 Cant wait to see more video’s about this car. Keep up the good work.

[@MartinGreen-ys3ss]

£16k spend over 17 years isn't bad at all, it's £941 a year, at least half of that would be servicing, then tyres.... most Mercs would have had probably double that spent in that time.

The diesel heaters do smoke until they get hot, normal. Leave it on for half an hour, it will show a code if there is a fault. They can be serviced.

But, don't drive in Marrakech, nothing good will come of that , not even in a Rangey. Oh and there is nowhere to park in Central Marrakech. Unless you stay at The Savoy😂

[@BuySellCarsTV]

Ive also got a 2007 TDV8, and for the price it is everything you want from a car. It’s still 80% the same feel as my old 2019 L405 SDV6. The reality is, it cost me £1500 and I’ll run it until it’s not viable to repair, but so far so good!

[@goodfest007]

I am in a similar position - I have a 3.9 P38 which I have owned for 20 or so years, a 4.4Tdv8 L322 which I have owned about 4 years and a 4.4 SDV8 L405, which I have just bought a few months ago - I absolutely love them all, each of them have their own character and get used for different roles…. Well that’s how I justify my ‘Habit’ or RR ‘addiction’ 😳.

Nice to see you in a proper Range Rover again. Now....notchy steering will be the uj joints on the steering shaft, they will be dry, oil up and will be all good...mine did this and was not the rack. She's 18 years old....take the plastic sill trim off and check the sills and also check the front and rear subframe and ...the rear boot floor and lanogaurd it. Mine has just gone in for a new rear subframe and...boot floor. As for updates....silly question Matt....of course we want an update date. Keep us posted

[@alanbellwood3902]

If you can get to the back of the arch on a ramp, where it meets the sill is a direct access hole (bad design) that fills with mud and road muck. When they rot out on the arch you can see straight through to the source which is this hole/gap to the rear. Steam it out treat it with Hydrate 80 and fill with good quality clear cavity wax.

[@kenweller4179]

Go into the settings and you'll see the webasto heater will be on a timer. You can turn it off from there.

[@ollie9790]

Worth every penny you paid buying, and every pound you’ll be spending to keep it going. I recently bought a RR 2002 4.4 V8, Petrol, and while the list of things to get sorted is a long as my arm, I just love driving the thing, whenever, and wherever I can. Words really can’t describe it to be honest, but I think it would be apt and timely to say that I feel like a kid on Christmas Day every time I get in it and drive. The way I see it, at least I can say i’ve owned one of these before the time the roads are 100% leccy motors.

[@baz4x4r]

Matt. If you haven’t got an option on the infotainment screen for timed climate then you may not have the option to just buy a remote for the DPH. All of them had a DPH which automatically kicks in at around 4 degrees. So just because you have a DPH it doesn’t mean you can use a remote. I think you can buy a remote unit to attach to the DPH so a remote will then work. I am looking forward to your updates. I have had two L320 sports, my last has just died with a crankshaft and I have just bought a 2012 L322 4.4 tdv8 which does have a remote.

[@paultasker7788]

Inside and out i think this is peak Range Rover. I like the chunkier buttons inside and mix of switches and screen, feels more unique than the newer models and for a while if you were going to get an autograph from a band it was out of the window of one of these. For 90k miles that's worn impressively well.

Don’t know what you have local Matt, but I’m running my XC60 on Esso Synergy, reall has made an improvement car is much more responsive than with standard diesel, and I don’t use supermarket stuff.

[@klawlor3659]

I'll give you a bit of inside information...I used to work at Sainsbury's years ago. Sainsbury's use BP, hence why they have exactly the same choices as a BP garage. Morrisons used to use Texaco-Haveline. The rumour about supermarket fuel being inferior was started by Shell marketing back in the 90s, after it was feared that they would lose market share to the supermarkets. Obviously the ludicrous idea that somehow fuel that comes from the same refinery and has the same additives is somehow inferior is still believed by a few people out there.

[@neildempster2827]

Nice bus. Wouldn’t take that bar off though, be a superb towing machine and you never know when you might need it.

It would be good to see a follow up video. A customer of mine sold his Evoque and bought a Toyota CHR as running costs too high. They couldn't believe how cheap the CHR was to tax and run!

Matt another good find, you seem to have the knack, I will be interested in the fix for the radio going on and off as my 2003 Giverney keeps doing the same, only seems to work when stationary or sometimes when going slow. I have put 19 inch Bridgestone all weathers on the back and will put on the front also to replace the 14 year old very hard Wranglers.

I think I'd keep the tow bar. My car has a tow bar that's never actually been used and I also considered removing it but honestly if some idiot forgets their brakes exist at the same time they stop looking out of their windscreen I think I'll be glad of that big metal ball as it rips through their radiator!

[@lewismajor756]

I am sure I have a diesil heater remote at home from my 07 plate that died from rust this year, its sat in the key box in the kitchen, ill send it up if you want it. The boot gas struts will just be cold, and the banging on ocasional pull away is most likely the rear propshaft support bearings.

Try SGS Engineering for your gas struts👍 And Miller's Diesel Additive really works wonders.

[@Saaketti]

Unfortunately your webasto is close to repair. No webasto either diesel or gasoline do smoke like that when they are full working order. You better fix it before it goes to lock because it did not start. It may only need that equipment in the combustion chamber to get rid of the smoke. Pre heaters will smoke heavily when temperature outside is -15 and colder. Then the moisture in the exhaust is clearly seen. If you do not want to repair the webasto. Turn the autostart off so it does not start with the engine.

Excellent bargain. Those TDV6's need to be driven a good distance every couple of weeks or so. Keep the tow bar, or you'll be looking at that rash on the bumper every day and it will niggle you until you end up paying to get it sorted. Most people will use the TDV6 for towing anyway, which makes sense with such a high torque motor.
