Few things really quick! 1) Good to see the Premiere Pro glitch at 0:36 - Don't worry; goes away soon. Sorry! 😂 2) Feel free to add extra points I missed in the comments for other people! 3) Checklist Download: thebreakdown.xyz/carchecklist

I would say one of the biggest things to look for is that subtle jerking when driving forward over a flat paved road. It is very hard to notice if you aren't paying attention or looking for it specifically. It will kind of feel like the transmission shifting, but it's not. It is the transfer case. If you notice it, watch your revs, if the needle isn't moving and you still feel it, it's the transfer case. This is an extremely expensive repair 8-9k and it will only get progressively worse as you drive it.

Just purchased an 07 hse landrover and absolutely in love. Small cosmetic repairs is all I've invested so far. Inspected myself by way of months of reading and researching. Love your videos

[@Spartansrule118]

How has your reliability been?

[@SubliminalCriminal4]

@Spartansrule118 zero. When it was good it was soooo good. When it was bad it was sooo expensive. In the end I couldn't even sell it. Transmission wouldn't stop throwing a fault code and suspension bombed. I scraped it. In my area there was only one service place for imports and they quoted me way to high and others wouldn't touch it.

[@Spartansrule118]

@@SubliminalCriminal4 Sorry to hear! Did you have a 4.2 Supercharged or 4.4 V8? How many miles did it have? How long was the good before it went bad? Thinking of taking the leap of faith

[@SubliminalCriminal4]

Super charge. 172k miles when i purchased. Only.put 10k miles on it as it hit issues quickly. ​@Spartansrule118

When test driving remember to check the heater. This is easy to forget, especially if test driving in the summer months when most people just check that the air con works. If the heater blower makes whirring noises, sometimes not until a minute or more after the blower starts, something is not right and it should be looked at. The blower is pretty quiet when on auto but there shouldn't be any other audible noises that start with or shortly after it.

[@2philly7venz]

So true. Found a sweet 2010 Supercharged a month ago in another state and after I put down a nominal down payment, had it pre purchase inspected. Check engine light was on and A/C needed servicing as well. I'm still waiting for them to finalize the repairs on it before the final prepurchase inspection can be done. Beginning to have doubts if it's all worth it mann.

[@maziarzarea2540]

What’s the heater got to do with it?

[@allanhughes7859]

Bonnet /hood struts best replaced with wood 2x1 inch can be pine but better still oak last for ever and most important no head damage otherwise just use a crash helmet but they dont come cheap if you have a motorcycle then not an issue !!!!!!!!!! remember if the hood falls on your helmet it must be re placed !!!!!

[@adzy166]

Make sure it’s English oak. The European species can cause DPF issues on the TDV8

[@HouseTunes]

Rust under the tailgate and inactive air suspension is common on the first gen L322.

[@J.Tylercobb]

Hey I know that L322 in the thumbnail! Great video as always!

Some 2004 models as you start the ignition the engine makes whinning wizzing sounds before actually starting. It takes abt 10 20 seconds that is. What you think?

[@sk8-brd-bus124]

Sunroof, they go bad on these. I know because I didn’t check mine before I bought it.

[@dahanalmarqab9411]

In my opinion and from experience of using range rover’s starting with 1986,1989,1992,1994,2001 and know 2011 …. The most reliable year is 1992 and it’s more reliable than Toyota …. The 2011 I just bought looks clean and it drives and looks as the classic Range Rover and that’s why I bought it … is it normal to hear ticking noise from engine after starting when in normal operating temperature but disappear after maybe a minute?

Hi! What info do you have on the new model from 2013-2014 and on.

[@tmoney10fm44]

[@lonniewhite4262]

Buy a new or used one under a warranty. If they dont have a warranty you will go broke trying to keep it running. When the warranty lapses move on.

[@richardschofield2201]

Hmmm, I think not A RR under warranty would cost a small fortune. A better option is to buy an older model and repair it yourself. Much cheaper in the long run.

[@lonniewhite4262]

@@richardschofield2201 not. You must have never owned one. Buy one under warranty. So you think that it would be cheaper to buy an old one than have one under warranty? You go do that then. Good luck. Lol

[@richardschofield2201]

@@lonniewhite4262 I've owned a number of range rovers (although not an L322). I drove a classic RR to Mongolia and back. Rebuilding hubs and suspension components in the desert was fun. If you're mechanically minded you can keep these cars on the road at a very reasonable price. It just requires your time. Get yourself a code reader, find the part on eBay second hand, swap over the weekend. Keep on top of the services. I assume you don't do your own work on cars?

[@lonniewhite4262]

@@richardschofield2201 no and don't want to.

[@jaysworld5378]

Question, you stated to take it somewhere to get inspected (a close by independent shop) but do the dealerships or third party dealerships typically allow that, to have the vehicle taken off their lot to be inspected somewhere else? I can see maybe bringing a trustworthy mechanic along to inspect the vehicle on their lot but taking it off their lot before you have bought the vehicle, is that pretty normal to do? Thanks, Great Video.

Other than new or nearly new, what years of the Range Rover are better mechanically?

[@timothyroman6440]

On a forum, I think RangeRovers.net, I saw a lot of people standing with the 2007-2009 range, especially for the engine.

[@southhillfarm2795]

There is little chance you should see rust on a Range Rover. Land Rover panels are made from Aluminum which is highly rust resistant.

[@richardschofield2201]

Aluminium corrodes like hell when it's bolted to a steel chassis.

[@adzy166]

Think it’s only the doors and the bonnet on the l322 that’s ally. The rest is steel. And these panels do corrode especially around rear arches

[@allanhughes7859]

You young man do talk tooo much but so do I /me But and a big but you are good yep good !!!!!!! When buying any car look at the price tag that sets the sceene is it right is it wrong and take it from there.. Most tell you to check this and that etc etc All a load of bolocks as we say over here in the U.K. !!! There are so many con men/women out there us mere mortals don't stand a chance so look for these clues and you will not go wrong well almost not wrong !!! 1 Are all the tyres the same make dont worry about tread are they the same 2 Has it got a full service history dont worry about main dealers cos they just rip you off 3 Is it warm when you arrive or cold 4 Has it been valeted the best is when they have not 5 Look at where you are buying it from if dealer is it a nice place or a dump same goes for the house and garden is it neat and tidy or a shambles Tidy house tidy car etc etc 6 Listen to what the seller says dealer full of bulshit or private also full of bulshit if sensible we are now getting closer to buying 7 How many owners has it had the fewer the better people only sell bad cars or some every two /three years 8 Whats the milage if very low its good if very high its good the middle of the road could mean everything is coming to its end 9 Go by your gut feel this is often the best judge you will ever have To date I have followed these examples and owned many R/Rovers and other cars I have only been conned once When you buy anything used expect faults and dont beat yourself up !!!!! Anything thats old will have faults that includes us humans so budjet accordingly but remember if you cant do it yourself then an expensive car will be expensive to fix Personaly a R/Rover is worth every penny great to drive and will ,yes will ,make you feel a hundred dollars or pounds does not matter what anyone says it will !! The only car that put me on equal terms was an Aston but even that could not do what the Rangie could All the above can be done without feeling silly at time of inspection Last but not least if very low milage check the steering wheel and pedals for wear this always gives the game away GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SEARCH and thankyou young man for a good vid !! Stay healthy Stay safe from all over the pond We do get on do we not ?????????????????

Hey people. I just bought one and the battery was dead from an auction. It has a warning on dash transmission limited gears. 😯😥 Has these gears went out, ?

[@khronus79]

No Replace with new battery and perform a hard reset Unplug battery cables and use a wire or metal to touch both cable ends together, turn key on for about 15 mins to get rid of any and all current, this will reset all computers and get rid of the transmission warning

There is absolutely no "good Range Rover" L322. They are junk. Period. Vanos, leaky valve covers, timing chains, cooling systems, the list is endless.

[@eugeneabreut5208]

When I got my used Range Rover i took it directly to a good independent mechanic that works on euro cars and range rovers. Spent $3,000 on preventative maintenance. Had it for a year no problems. But I prematurely change all those parts I knew were going to go bad. To me it’s worth it because you basically have an 80,000 car for 20 grand.
